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!

Learn more about Water

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer. It is used to thicken and improve the texture of products. Due to its properties, it can prevent water and oil ingredients from separating.

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

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

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

Humectant, Skin Conditioning

Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.

Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.

Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.

These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives

This cleanser is amazing for brightening your face in the morning because it has vitamin C. I also use it in the nighttime cause it makes my skin feel refreshed. The only time I don't use this is when I am exfoliating with Bha, Aha.
It has a gel like feel and the bottle is big. If you are prone to Frangrance then you might want to be cautious.
Btw I have combo skin :)

Tried out this cleanser because I've seen good reviews on social media and love their sun screen. Unfortunately, I should've checked my compatibility with it before purchasing. Stuck with it for about a week and it made me breakout really bad, after each use my face still felt slightly oily like it didn’t help to cleanse away anything.

I came across this product recently after realizing that my skin type changed from dry to oily, which was why my go-to sunscreen was BGS for a long while. I started noticing that it would have my skin feeling/looking more greasy after the 2-hour mark. That is not the case for this Round Lab sunscreen. I absolutely cannot get over how well this product controlled my oily skin/sebum! Aside from Show more

This reef-safe chemical sunscreen is my favorite for summer use. It leaves a silky and soft finish, feeling very light on the skin. It even seems to reduce sweating. The application is simple and quick; the product spreads with ease and absorbs within a couple of minutes. There's no pilling, no residue, and reapplication is hassle-free. While it's not hydrating enough for winter use on my dry Show more
