Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is an emollient ester. It comes from cetearyl alcohol and 2-ethylhexanoic acid.

The components of grape seeds have many skin benefits. Research has found it to be antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. It also contains many potent antioxidants such as Vitamin E , Vitamin C, proanthocyanidins, polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. Proanthocyanidin has been shown to help even out skin tone.
Antioxidants help fight free-radical molecules. Free-radical molecules are capable of damaging our cells and other genetic material. Antioxidants help stabilize free-radicals by donating extra electrons. Grape seed extract may help reduce the signs of aging.
The antimicrobial properties of grape seed may help treat acne. However, more research is needed to support this claim.
Grape seed has also been found to help absorb UV rays. Grape seed extract should not replace your sunscreen.

It is pricey, no point denying it. But most of my routine is made up of affordable or at least reasonably priced things so that I was willing to try this out as my splurge. And I LOVE it.
I was using just oil before, a blend of argan, jojoba, and rosehip, which is perfectly fine and a lot cheaper for sure, but...
1) it's a lot thicker than this product and once in a while I'd use just a Show more
Clears up my skin of tiny bumps and sebum SO fast. It's a little bit pricey so I'm trying to find a dupe but even if I can't find one I'll definitely go back to it.

I like this cleansing balm but it isn't my favourite. The balm doesn't melt down enough so it takes a long time to work it into my skin. I don't find that it cleanses my skin as effectively as other cleansing balms and the yellow colour almost stains my skin. There is a slight scent, definitely isn't overpowering though. I do love the packaging!
It’s just okay for me. I received in a box I subscribe to and I don’t find myself reaching for it
