Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

for sensitive skin but not for me??
Recommended by a friend after struggling to find a "gentle" cleanser that didn't break me out or burn like crazy. Fine first few washes once daily, 3rd day in the once peaceful heavy, creamy texture started to sting my face. Broke out with red bumps and acne that week. Thought I'd finally found the one... but it seems continual use of this doesn't agree

I don't understand this product.
After doing skincare for over a decade, I've tried hundreds of products (yes, my wallet isn't happy). This product was one of the worst out of these hundreds. Most products I've tried are alright. This one was truly not good. It has a strong scent, didn't absorb, and just didn't do anything positive for my skin at all. I gave it 2 weeks and stopped when I started Show more
I love this toner because it exfoliates and is really gentle. My skin is dry and sensitive, and this is very comforting. It has fragrance, and my skin doesn't seem to react. The smell is faint and not overly powerful. It sinks into the skin really nicely, and I often layer another toner on top for hydration. 10/10!
