Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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!

Gave me a bunch of tiny clear/white bumps on my face. Stopped using it and switched to a different cleanser and they went away within a day. Not sure if I'm allergic or just sensitive to the ingredients.
Wonderful cleanser, terrible company
This is the best moisturizing cleanser I have tried -- not good for exfoliating, acne, etc., but very good for just washing your face or double oil cleansing. I cannot support this company, however, knowing that the owner belongs to and donates to a violently homophobic cult (C3). Liah has tried to 'apologize' over the years but continues to support this group. Show more

The first night I used Paula’s choice exfoliant just once, it cleaned up my skin scraping it whole, I was left GLOWING but it felt kind of tight like I had been using corsx salicylic acid for 3 days straight, it takes some getting used to, to the extent that the instructions literally say to start off once a week and slowly build your usage up overtime, it’s really strong but does the job well.

Blackheads? Gone. Dry flakes? Gone. Nose? Smooth. Clogged pores who? My skin tends to be sensitive at times but it could easily handle this product.
