Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

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.

Pentylene glycol is typically used within a product to thicken it. It also adds a smooth, soft, and moisturizing feel to the product. It is naturally found in plants such as sugar beets.

The hydrophilic trait of Pentylene Glycol makes it a humectant. As a humectant, Pentylene Glycol helps draw moisture from the air to your skin. This can help keep your skin hydrated.

This property also makes Pentylene Glycol a great texture enhancer. It can help thicken or emulsify a product. Emulsifiers help stabilize a product. It does this by preventing certain ingredients from separating.

Pentylene Glycol also acts as a mild preservative and helps to keep a product microbe-free.

Some people may experience mild eye and skin irritation from Pentylene Glycol. We always recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient in your routine.

Pentylene Glycol has a low molecular weight and is part of the 1,2-glycol family.

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.

These enzymes break down protein into smaller peptides and amino acids. They also encourage the formation of new protein.

The human body contains ~641 protease genes alone.

Protease work by breaking peptide bonds in protein with hydrolysis. This is the process of breaking bonds using water.

An in-vitro study (not done on a living organism) found a blend of 3-protease decreases skin inflammation by mitigating the effects of other proteins.

One manufacturer that uses subtilisin, a protease from Bacillus subtilis, claims this ingredient is exfoliating, promotes cell regeneration, and is a good substitute for AHAs. Further research is needed to back up these claims.

Panthenol (also referred to as pro-vitamin B5) is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin.

lt is a humectant, meaning that it helps the skin attract and retain moisture.

Another benefit is the anti-inflammatory abilities. This means that it's great for sensitive, irritation-prone skin.

Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.

In love with this toner
This is such an amazing toner, it is gentle and hydrating while still helping the skin to get rid of dead skin cells. Its consistency is watery, light and non-sticky, it absorbs quickly. I like Round Labs 1025 Dokdo line very much, it consists of 74 natural derived minerals from deep sea waters of Ulleungdo Island. This product also contains algae (Chondrus Crispus), which I noticed, are very beneficial for my skin. I use it in the mornings and apply several layers of it. Love it! ❤️

Absolutely love this product, recently picked it up as an alternative to my previous toner and it's been a noticeable upgrade ever since. I apply this directly after using my water based cleanser and it always leaves my skin feeling light and hydrated, while providing a good base for the rest of my routine. Can't recommend it enough if you're looking for something cheap and efficient

The texture is very very runny so just be careful while you're getting it out of the bottle as it doesn't have a pump or anything so you don't get it everywhere, but this isn't an issue or cause for concern for me as the product is perfect otherwise

these are pretty small, soothing and calming toner pads for pretty much every skin type. they have no fragrance and come with tweezers. my skin dryness and texture was dissapearing, as i continued to use them every morning to drag them around my face and on my cheeks and chin, where i have the most comedonal breakout. besides the fact that they're kinda hard to get in europe and are small, their benefits of the soothing, hydrating, skin repairing and calming ingredients really pop off as a result on my face. i recommend them for sensitive, dry and compromised skin for daily use (both morning and night).
