Ingredients Side-by-side
Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Carbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create gel consistency within products.
Carbomer is commonly found in many types of cosmetics products. It is found to be safe in concentrations up to 15%. However, a high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Most products contain 1% of less of carbomer.
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!

I usually love the products from this brand but this is not the case. I thought this product was ideal for oily/acne-prone skin due to it's high concentrations of Niacinamide and Retinal, but it broke me out like never before. At first, I thought it was some purging (strange, because I've used stronger retinoids before) but the acne only stopped when i finished the bottle (and obviously, didn't repurchased it). Later I did realise that it has a considerable concentration of oils that aren't really good for acne-prone skin. So maybe somebody with dry skin will benefit from it, but definitely only the most resistant types because it can be very harsh for sensitive skin. And the worst thing of all it's the price, way too much for any serum.
