Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

1
What it does: Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Mixed

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

Pyunkang Yul Low pH Cleansing Pad contains this as ingredient number 2.

COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad contains this as ingredient number 2.

2
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Mixed

1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.

Pyunkang Yul Low pH Cleansing Pad contains this as ingredient number 10.

COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad contains this as ingredient number 5.

Honestly not bad, but my skin has been somewhat sensitive recently and these haven't been helping, even when using them as gently as possible....

Honestly not bad, but my skin has been somewhat sensitive recently and these haven't been helping, even when using them as gently as possible.
They remove most of my makeup well. Waterproof mascara has been somewhat of a nightmare, but everything else it's worked with.
