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!
Learn more about WaterPanthenol is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin. It is found naturally in our skin and hair.
There are two forms of panthenol: D and L.
D-panthenol is also known as dexpanthenol. Most cosmetics use dexpanthenol or a mixture of D and L-panthenol.
Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):
Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.
This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.
Learn more about PanthenolCaprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.
It is a common ingredient in many products, especially those designed to hydrate skin. The primary benefits are retaining moisture, skin softening, and promoting a healthy skin barrier.
Though Caprylyl Glycol is an alcohol derived from fatty acids, it is not the kind that can dry out skin.
This ingredient is also used as a preservative to extend the life of products. It has slight antimicrobial properties.

TL;DR: Absolute gold star holy grail! 🏆 Forget the baume, this is where it's at for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
I picked this up in desperation after trying the original baume formulation of this, which really did nothing for me and I'm quite sure was contributing to acne. But this gel is amazing! I use it morning and night over my moisturizer, and my skin always feels soothed after a couple Show more
After searching high and low for yeeeeaars to find a moisturiser that didn't break my acne-prone oily skin out, I finally found one that works for me. Not only has this helped calm my inflamed acne, it leaves my skin feeling really hydrated. I wrecked my skin barrier by overusing Differin and this was the only thing that helped repair my skin barrier and didn't break me out. I used the Cicaplast Show more

Just an average moisturizer, fairly expensive. Not super sticky but not light either.
Average moisturizer, does the job but maybe not enough if you have dry skin or (for me) during cold season.
