Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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!

A bit light on me but I think I need a darker color. Super natural and looks beautiful on the skin.

Super Nice...
This is a good cleanser as a 2nd step in double cleansing. I use it in the evenings to ensure all my makeup is removed. It does not strip my skin and doesn't irritate it either. There are others I prefer, but this is one of my favorites from the drugstore.
Absolutely love everything about this cleanser!
It’s basic with HA but feels hydrating, doesn’t dry my skin and even removes makeup without needing any double cleansing.
I will stick to this one since it does the job perfectly and I don’t like cleansers with actives as i have to be more careful with what products to use after them.
100/10
