Ingredients Explained
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.

Other benefits include smoothing wrinkles and minimizing redness.
The cherry on top? Niacinamide can also help build keratin, a protein that keeps skin firm.
When incorporating niacinamide into your routine, look out for concentration amounts. Typically, 5% niacinamide provides benefits such as fading dark spots. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is better to begin with a smaller concentration.
Niacinamide can be mixed with other ingredients to boost benefits. For instance, it has shown to be effective when used with copper, folic acid, and zinc to treat acne.

no more breakouts?
i honestly don't know what to make of this product because i used it in 2021 for about.. 6 months?? i was very generous since it was a small bottle. back then, i had extreme hormonal acne and a new pimple would emerge every day and i absolutely hated it. this toner lowkey lived up to the hype, but i wish packaging was better because the bottle did leak when received. they should Show more
I’ve been using this product for about a month, my acne is hormonal and I also have fungal acne issues. This product makes my GIANT pimples less irritated and go away in 2 days rather than their usual week-week and a half. Perfect for my combination sensitive skin!
