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!

Did not agree with my skin. Caused deep, inflamed acne and an HS flare. Nice hydration and only need to use 1-2 pumps for entire body. The scent is citrus - fake smelling with an undertone that I couldn’t identify. I am very sensitive to scents.
