Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Dipropylene Glycol is a synthetically created stabilizer and solvent. It is a part of the glycol class in the alcohol family.

- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas

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.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

I feel that this is one of those products that is advertised to be convenient, but didn't really seem that way to me. I found that even though the mask was easy to apply with the stick, it was still somewhat difficult to rise off (took about 4-5 rinses to remove it completely). So you'd probably have a better time with it in the shower. It also gets messy while you’re applying as the clay starts Show more
Ooop this worked so well for me. The ease of application was amazing and it didn’t dry me out which I did expect (I have dry sensitive and rosacea prone skin). I wanted to remove some sebaceous filaments from my nose. I took a before (top and after double cleanse) and after picture and it totally worked. I didn’t steam my pores to open them I simply just double cleansed my face and went in with Show more
