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!

Gentle, soft, and has a very mild scent! Been using this cleanser for a while as my go-to due to its low ph and centella extract in it- you only need about half a pump for your whole face. It leaves my face feeling calm and not irritated. It’s also not very drying, and gentle.

I really like this cleanser! It's foamy, soft, and it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight but definitely cleanses it!

I use this every night as my 1st cleanser in a double cleansing routine. It has a little orange/citrus scent but nothing over powering. Sometimes when I dampen my face then apply the product and rub, I can literally rub the clogged pore sebum out of my skin. I’ve also heard you can apply this dry and supplement water as you cleanse. Overall a great product and I feel like it actually helped with Show more

I have sensitive skin and eczema (mainly on eyelid) and this broke me out like crazy on my first two usages.
