Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Water

What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Community Rating: Loved

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!

TL;DR Great for fungal acne, gentle on oily skin, prevents most breakouts
I originally used this as a cleanser to help with my fungal acne and it did help a lot with it. I've heard some people say it's too drying but since I have oily skin, this was never an issue for me. It did great at preventing regular breakouts, but once I started having hormonal acne, it didn't do AS great. Still a great cleanser if you're looking for something gentle and simple.
