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!

Great for sensitive skin and acne. The formula is very calming and hydrating, while also being very good at exfoliating. Would recommend over Paula's Choice any day.

got it as a sample in a tatcha gift set, have been very wary of using any AHA/BHA after being on tretinoin but this stuff helped me when my skin felt soooo dull and lifeless and clogged... idk if I can use anything else after this
