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!
Learn more about WaterSodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

It's Okay...
I purchased this based on the recommendation from Angie (Hot & Sassy) as this line is one of her favs. The packaging is bulky, so not travel friendly and the texture comes out watery BUT once you apply it, it feels very nice! It makes your skin feel soft (it's weird). It's not my favorite vitamin C as I don't think it leaves my skin glowy like others I've used, so I won't repurchase Show more
I like the effect on skin but do get some break out activity with it.
