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 high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.

This wasn't for me. There's a lot of occlusives, particularly Cyclopentasiloxane, and it feels like a mask, it stung a little and it felt hot, as if it was trapping heat. Not good for my rosacea at all.

For many years, I mistakenly kept using acne-targeted products (example tea tree serums, BHA, AHA, etc) instead of focusing on repairing my damaged skin barrier which I didn't even realize I had at the time. I didn't know i had dry skin as well so I would simply just finish my routine with aloe vera gel as my moisturizer hence my skin has always been tight, red with frequent breakouts.
