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!

Perfect cleanser for sensitive, acne prone skin.
I've been using this cleanser for months. I love it. I have very sensitive, acne prone skin. I always have trouble finding a cleanser that doesn't irritate my skin, damage my barrier or trigger my acne.
This cleanser doesn't make any of that, instead it leaves my skin hydrated and smooth . It also cleans very well.
I'm happy that I find this Show more

Very gentle product which doesn’t dry out your skin. Does not work well for sebaceous filaments / blackheads though due to no active ingredients.

The first time I used it was on August 28, and now it's the best thing I have. It removed my acne from my face. I use it daily during the daytime and nighttime. My skin is combination to normal, and it doesn't dry out my skin 10/10

Very effective cleanser for my oily acne prone skin. In winter, my cheeks tend to get a little bit dry. So I wouldn't recommend it to dry skin people to use it in winter. But for summer, this is the best cleanser for me.
