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!

Buffering, Masking

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

This is the Rovectin Skin Essentials Conditioning cleanser with updated packaging. It's my go-to cleanser regardless of whatever skin troubles I have. It has a gel texture that turns into a very fluffy and silky foam. It feels very gentle and doesn't strip or irritate my skin. It always works wonderfully for me and I always make sure to have a bottle on hand.

This cleanser is a great option to begin your Korean skincare journey. It cleanses well without drying out my skin. However, I won’t be repurchasing it, as I’ve become more aware of my skin concerns and am looking for something different and more exciting, lol. For now, though, this is a safe option.

I have combi-sensitive skin, which is oily on my forehead and cheekbones but dry in other areas. This cleanser broke me out after 2 days of using it.
Also, it completely dried my cheeks.
