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!

Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.

It's okay
I still use it. It's nothing special. After that I use a mild cleanser. I mostly use it when I am wearing make up and I need something "harsh" to take it off.

As a Korean skincare user who's discovering European skincare lines, I'd say this is a decent product. I have started using this for a few days and I suppose it does its job well, nothing more nothing less. However I do think that you can get better cleansing products for the same or cheaper price ! ^^ ౨ৎ
