Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • 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.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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

Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Soothing

Allantoin plays a role in soothing and moisturizing the skin. Because of this, it is often added to products with strong active ingredients.

Some studies have shown this ingredient can promote wound healing with higher concentrations.

Allantoin is derived from the comfrey plant but produced synthetically for cosmetic products to ensure purity.

Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.

Didn’t know that it wasn’t only a toner but a treatment so started using everyday until I found out. So I found the reason why I haven’t been seeing results and getting more breakouts. Definitely recommend using in the morning but try using it every other day to every three days depending on your skin condition.

1000/10 MY HOLY GRAIL.

My skin is a nightmare. Like, anything and everything usually sets it off so these were heaven sent.

During my breakouts, I just grab one of these pads and let it sit on my face like a mask and it helps calm my skin down by A LOT. My skin is very oily so the fact that these don’t make me get even more oily is such a huge plus.

I’ve tried other toner pads but none Show more
