Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.
It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives

Bought this since it went viral for quite secs on twitter, some people say it's a dupe for Clinique moisturizer. Using this for 2 months and my skin didn't loving it. It's too light, made me layered this a couple of time. Not only that, it made my skin sweaty even on night and lower temperature. It didn't irritated my skin but after using this for a month, I feel a warm and tingly sensation.
