Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this soooo much. First of all, it literally smells like a spa, it comes with a cute little toner pad plucker so that your fingers don’t cross contaminate the contents. I even showed it to my neighbours who are also obsessed with Korean skincare and they were so jealous of how it looks. But the use was even better. The needley toner pads are double sided one side being Show more
mixed feelings about this one. it helps but not for people that are sensitive to salicylic like me. it makes me more oily. it causes me more breakouts and the pad and the toner itself cause me redness. one swipe from the cotton my face is red. so if u like the product but have a better pad then buy the bottled one hopefuly itll be better. but overall my skin is too young and sensitive for this.

I no longer have those massive breakouts. Only one or two spots when I'm about to have my period.
My skin is much smoother.
The bumps on my chin have disappeared.

Doesn’t do anything… Really just irritates my skin and doesn’t help with pores, closed comedones, and redness. Please just dont buy “exfoliating” toner pads, opt for regular toners.
