Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.
It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives
Carbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create a gel consistency.
A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.
Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

Best. I really like this product. Very calming and soothing

would not repurchase
I like the product, it’s a watery type serum. I think it calms my skin, but it’s not a power product in my routine. If you have oily skin, this would better suit you. At this point I’m just trying to finish it.
cons - really sticky 😔 i tried so hard to like round lab’s products, because they’re quite expensive, but this was a no for me. maybe i’ll use it again during winter and only at night. (i think it also was the reason behind my little pimples)
pros - it was hydrating
