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!
Learn more about WaterPhenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

My skin has been pretty sensitive after an eczema flare so I switched to this from the Tatcha Water Cream since it is fragranced. Could not be happier with the Skinfix. Does not irritate & it feels like my barrier is improving faster than it was with the Tatcha. Also love that it’s silicon-free for under makeup.
I have very sensitive skin (rosacea and "FA") that is reactive to many products. I tried this new product because I saw it during the Sephora sale, and I haven't had any reactions to it. It's very lightweight and works well for my combination skin! The major downside is the price. Also, I could see this not being hydrating enough for those with dry skin.
