Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger 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. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

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.

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.

Good cleansers that don’t strip the skin or cause more problems are so hard to find for my sensitive skin, so I waited a couple of weeks to really see how my skin reacted after twice-daily use before reviewing.
I highly recommend this cleanser for everyone. It’s so hydrating, has nothing in it that has caused my skin to dry out or react badly, is non-comedogenic, vegan and cruelty-free. It’s Show more
Perfect for what it’s meant for. Completely simple and FA safe product with no actives so there is no way this has ever irritated my skin after months. Don’t expect drastic clearing of your skin/acne as this has no actives or anything of that sort. But it shines in what it’s meant to do. Very hydrating, love the lather and texture, doesn’t dry out, very gentle and overall just great. My friend Show more
