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!
Learn more about WaterButylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Methyl Gluceth-20 is a humectant. Humectants help draw moisture from the air to your skin.
It is created by combining polyethylene glycol with glucose.
Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
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:

Here's what our community thinks
Lancôme Clarifique Pro-Solution Brightening & Dark Spot Reducing Serum 24 ingredients
Product does what it is supposed to do. However it leaves a sticky residue and takes a while to be fully absorbed. So be mindful when layering. Overall, there are other less expensive products that can do the same thing.

Received a sample with purchase at Ulta. The serum feels nice, but ultimately is not worth the money. There are other products that can do the same for less.
Very hydrating serum, leaves my skin super silky and helps with texture over time due to Bifida Ferment Lysate. I will not repurchase though because nowadays there are cheaper Korean alternatives and I do not need such hydration at the moment.
