Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Niacinamide has emerged as an all-star ingredient due to its many benefits.
It is known to treat acne by reducing inflammation. It also helps fade dark-spots and strengthen the skin by promoting the growth of the ceramide barrier.
Other benefits include smoothing wrinkles and minimizing redness.
The cherry on top? Niacinamide can also help build keratin, a protein that keeps skin firm.
When incorporating niacinamide into your routine, look out for concentration amounts. Typically, 5% niacinamide provides benefits such as fading dark spots. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is better to begin with a smaller concentration.
Niacinamide can be mixed with other ingredients to boost benefits. For instance, it has shown to be effective when used with copper, folic acid, and zinc to treat acne.
Learn more about NiacinamideGlycerin 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.

It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives
Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

Slurp Niacid 18 ingredients
TL;DR: Makes me oily and can sting a bit. Breaks me out SOMETIMES, but helped with scarring.
This is the ONLY Slurp product I don't 100% love. Sometimes it breaks me out into cysts, sometimes it doesn't. I had good results with some acne scarring on it, but it also made me feel a bit oily. It can sting on a compromised skin barrier for a split second, but it's never overly irritating. Because I Show more
UPDATE: it contains butylene glycol! If you use actives that affect your skin barrier, please restrain from using it. Also many Korean products use it. Hence layering it with other products might cause irritation!
Funny enough, that’s actually the only serum by Slurp that I do like. It absorbs fast and I do feel like my skin feels better afterwards. So I do think it helps the skin barrier. Show more
Slurp Hyaluid 48 ingredients
Update: I’ve begun breaking out on this, so docking a star because it was good to me for a long time otherwise.
TL;DR: Good moisturizer and Vit C serum in one. A little goes a long way. Can double as a moisturizer for all skin types.
I've used this on and off for about two years now, and the value is good as you only need 2 drops per dosage. It is priced at $62/100mL, so $0.62/mL. At first I Show more
Great product to boost your hydration level especially during winter. I think it should work on sensible skin also. It’s very gentle but at the same time it might be not enough as stand alone hydration product (dry skin + winters).
It has a lot of HA, so you better tap your face with water lightly before putting it on to make the best of it (or fine mist your face).
Great: that bottle can last Show more
