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!

I don’t know what causes the stinging after a while, but every time I try this, it occurs. I have rosacea and very sensitive skin, and this toner is marketed to be exactly for it- but somehow it doesn’t work for me. I tried this over and over for almost 8 months - irritating.
The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner 13 ingredients
After having clear skin for about six months, using this product for just three days in a row caused me 5–6 stubborn acnes which based on my skin type they’re probably going to leave dark spots that’ll take forever to fade. It also feels sticky on the skin and doesn’t absorb well.
Soothes my skin without any irritation or redness
