Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Water

What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

It's a gentle gel-cleanser that is suitable to any skin-type but better on oily skin due to it's texture. It's very basic in this regard and that's not a bad thing. It doesn't target any skin concern specifically so if that's what you're after, I wouldn't recommend this product but I'd use it as a "shower cleanser" or something you would use on the morning or in the middle of the day. Especially if you don't want to dry out your skin too much when using other AHA's and BHA's.
