Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

truly amazing in strengthening my reactive skin post-retinoid usage. works well under most products and especially does not pill with makeup. only negative thing is the price point...

Clear amber-colored liquid-y gel. I’d suggest spreading this over top of a toner or essence so you can get by with 1-2 pumps. It’s been helping me through the tretinoin adjustment period & I definitely noticed acne wounds heal faster when I use it. Once I’m finished retinizing, I look forward to improvement in texture & scars.

If using tretinoin at night, use Recovery in the morning before Show more
