These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

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

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • 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.

It's very surprising how well this essence did for me, it helped so much with my post acne marks and never broke me out. As for oil balancing & barrier I'm not too sure about it but my main goal is to clear my marks and it serve thag pretty well. It's very watery and potent. I have oily skin acne prone skin that lives in a very humid whether and this being able to absorb into my skin is wild

It comes in a gorgeous Show more
