Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Buffering, Masking

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

Emollient, Humectant, Skin Conditioning

Caprylyl 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.

I love this cleanser so much! I have oily, acne-prone skin and this helps clean any oil and dirt on my face without breaking me out. My skin always feels nice and clean. I've tried many other cleansers and nothing has worked as great as this does. I have been using this for years and this will always be my go-to. If you have dry skin, do not use this as it may be too drying/stripping.

I have acne-prone combination-oily sensitive skin. All the other cleansers that I used are either moisture stripping or not cleansing enough. This is the right cleanser for me. It didn't strip away the moisture from my skin.

loved this cleansing balm! takes off all my makeup and spf easily and left my skin super soft.
I’m a bit wary of it now that i have acne, but for dry skin that isn’t very acne-prone this is a must!
