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!

This ingredient helps hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin.
What makes hyaluronic acid so hydrating? It has the capacity to bind or hold large amounts of water.
Fun fact: It is already naturally found in our bodies, such as the fluids of our eyes and our joints.
Studies find this ingredient to have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. This can help speed up wound-healing.
Hyaluronic acid can be irritating if the molecule has a low-molecular weight, or if the molecules are small.
One study found low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to be pro-inflammatory, meaning some people may experience irritation. This is because our bodies use hyaluronic acid in the wound-healing process to signal to our bodies, via irritation, that something needs healing.
The same study found high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to be anti-inflammatory.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

Skin Hero Niacinamide 10% + Green Tea Anti Acne Serum 6 ingredients
I wanted to try a higher percentage because I had great results from +ful’s 5% niacinamide serum, and I wanted to see if my more stubborn dark spots and small bumps could be tackled by a higher concentration. I wanted to find a 10% niacinamide serum with good ingredients, and I stumbled upon Skin Hero’s.
I’m so glad I gave this a try! I started by using it just at night, and I spaced it out by Show more

Cons: Not sure if it's an actual con but it's watery compared to the other k-serums I've tried. Those would drop in blobs, if that makes sense. Toner-like consistency, similar to COSRX's propolis toner.
Pros: Relatively cheap for its price. No adverse reactions just yet, but my skin isn't too picky. It's a bit sticky after application, but that works for me since I apply moisturizer after.
