Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Paula's Choice Clinical Ceramide-Enriched Firming Moisturizer contains this as ingredient number 9.
Ceramide AP is a type of Ceramide.
Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. Having a strong skin barrier leads to more firm and hydrated skin.
They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.
If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

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!

A Bit Comedogenic
I really wanted to like this cream, but it unfortunately clogged my pores a bit. I wanted to try it because lotus has calming and anti-inflammatory properties, and this cream was said to be light and suited for oily skin. It definitely has a nice texture and is effective at moisturizing, but I didn't notice any special calming or anti-inflammatory properties. Unfortunately, withing a few days and nights of using it, I started to have skin texture issues as well as whiteheads. I've stopped using it and my skin has returned to normal. The culprit ingredient is the prunus amygdalus dulcis oil.
Beautiful finish, lightweight but still moisturizing and hydrating enough for dry skin. I feel like it has helped brighten my complexion. i love that it has a little tack since 1. its doesn’t feel like its sliding off my face in the...
Beautiful finish, lightweight but still moisturizing and hydrating enough for dry skin. I feel like it has helped brighten my complexion. i love that it has a little tack since 1. its doesn’t feel like its sliding off my face in the humidity and stays all day and 2. it works great as a primer for makeup to stick to and last all day
Very very average, just feels like splashing water on the skin.
