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!

Good if you want to prevent acne. Although it probably won't help if you're already broken out. Left my skin very tight and that's why I stopped using it

It has not got rid of my acne and I think it dries my skin out. That said it is pretty good, also great value for money because the bottle is big and you don't need to use a lot of the product at a time.
