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!

Emulsifying, Emulsion Stabilising, Gel Forming

Xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer and thickener within cosmetic products. It helps give products a sticky, thick feeling - preventing them from being too runny.

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.

Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

Have yet to find a serum that compares. So so so hydrating and amazing. It’s my holy grail and I’ve been using it for nearly 5 years. Amazing AM and PM hydration boost.

I struggled with acne for years until I started using tretinoin. I have used it since I was 15 and since then my skin hasn’t broken out in the typical cystic acne patterns since. It reduces irritation and helps with my skin texture and look. It is obviously a medical product so it is drying and irritating–as tretinoin is–but it is exactly that, a medical ingredient to be used as your skin can Show more

Purging occurs but slowly introduce it into your routine. Will cause a slew of pimples.
