Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

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.

Preservative

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

Good coverage, hides the rosacea, looks natural. I use Murad oil and pore control mattifier lotion first, wait 5-10 minutes, and then apply this so that it doesn't sink into pores. It's so easy and fast to use, this has become my go-to foundation for day-to-day application

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.
