Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

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.

Round Lab Pine Calming Cica Cream 33 ingredients
I’ve got combo skin that is prone to breakouts with the wrong products and I’ve been struggling lately to find something that won’t break me out. Using this 2x daily for the last week I’ve not had any issues which I’m grateful for. It’s not very hydrating however, and it’s got a slightly unpleasant chemical/plastic scent which I’m assuming is the natural odor of the ingredients they use. This Show more

Not for combo skin
Disclaimer: I have combo skin that tends to be dry in my cheeks and oily everywhere else. I also have eczema on my cheeks.
This moisturizer absorbs really nicely. I love how it doesn't feel like there's anything on my skin and how it doesn't leave my skin sticky. It's a nice moisturizer. However, for me it makes my nose/ cheek area feel a little tight. Overall I like it and Show more
I find it's a pretty good moisturizer for very oily skin and leaves the skin quite fresh and reduces redness and irritation quite well. I would personally only use it in the morning before a sunscreen, but not at night, as it's not sufficiently moisturizing for my combination skin.
