These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Methylparaben is a preservative and is a paraben. It is used to prevent the growth of fungus, mold, and other harmful bacteria. Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives in both cosmetics and food.
Methylparaben can be synthetically created. It can also be found naturally in some fruits, such as blueberries.
Oftentimes, Methylparaben is combined with other parabens to help increase the shelf life.
The safety of Methylparaben is currently being studied. While ongoing studies are looking into the safety of parabens, the results have been very mixed. Some studies have not found Methylparaben to be harmful.

been using this since my teens and I'm in my mid 20s now. it just works! love using it for breakouts; my spots always look much better much quicker after putting this on them overnight.
Lightweight cream, a bit runny, and gets absorbed quickly. No irritation. Does dry my pimples, but I don't know if it is that effective. Would not repurchase, still need to empty it.

I'm in love with this product
I've been fighting spots for longer than I can remember but especially during the last few months, I tried a few other spot treatment products (some of them were really expensive) but they ended up making it worse because they were too harsh for my skin.
I got the blemish stick and within the first few days there was a noticeable decrease in redness and irritation Show more
