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!

Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.
Methylparaben is a preservative and is a paraben. It is used to prevent the growth of fungus, mold, and other harmful bacteria. Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives in both cosmetics and food.
Methylparaben can be synthetically created. It can also be found naturally in some fruits, such as blueberries.
Oftentimes, Methylparaben is combined with other parabens to help increase the shelf life.
The safety of Methylparaben is currently being studied. While ongoing studies are looking into the safety of parabens, the results have been very mixed. Some studies have not found Methylparaben to be harmful.

Eh. Underwhelming for the virality it got. They're safer than a lot of other pore strips, but they don't fully work as advertised. For me, all they did was remove a few blackheads, some dead skin, and a bunch of vellus hairs. They work about as well as dermaplanning does.
I also had a problem getting the paper to lay flat. It's so thin it'll crinkle from the slightest force, which isn't great Show more
the product is nice but it dont work well cos literally some of the cream dried and got stuck to my face and it was hard to get off. it looks like i got dried glue on my face and the sheet of paper was so thin some of the paper got stuck on my face.. it also smells like glue, so idk if yall should buy it but its not so good.
