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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

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

This was my life saver! After using the Abib heartleaf foam Cleanser, an explosion of pimples, cyst and pimples happened (do not recommend at all for oily people!).
This Centella Ampoule Foam helped to reduce my acnee and clearing up my face. Who says that cleansers are not important? No one. As an oily person I cannot recommend this enough.

It triggered my fungal acne and even if I like it’s moisture and how soft of left my face hydrated, I wouldn’t use it again.
