Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Masking, Preservative

Sodium Benzoate is a preservative. It's used in both cosmetic and food products to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria. It is typically produced synthetically.

Both the US FDA and EU Health Committee have approved the use of sodium benzoate. In the US, levels of 0.1% (of the total product) are allowed.

Sodium benzoate works as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of bacteria inside of cells. It prevents the cell from fermenting a type of sugar using an enzyme called phosphofructokinase.

It is the salt of benzoic acid. Foods containing sodium benzoate include soda, salad dressings, condiments, fruit juices, wines, and snack foods.

Studies for using ascorbic acid and sodium benzoate in cosmetics are lacking, especially in skincare routines with multiple steps.

We always recommend speaking with a professional, such as a dermatologist, if you have any concerns.

It's okay I guess? Start slow mga lovelies, so far, my acne are drying for the first 3 weeks pa, not irritating so far.

Overall, good beginner SA cleanser for one day use only, preferably at night! Don't over exfoliate your skin!

For the PIH and PIE, I'm still waiting for 6 weeks, I'll update my reviewe!

very drying and leaves your skin with a tight feeling (as expected from a cleanser with 2% salicylic acid) but it works great as an "exfoliant" to use twice or thrice a week. very good alternative to other harsher exfoliants like toners and such. i think it's just enough if you're working with acne like inflamed papules.

i've been using it like that for a few weeks now and have seen good Show more
