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 WaterPanthenol is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin. It is found naturally in our skin and hair.
There are two forms of panthenol: D and L.
D-panthenol is also known as dexpanthenol. Most cosmetics use dexpanthenol or a mixture of D and L-panthenol.
Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):
Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.
This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.

TL;DR: Barrier repair and sensitive skin holy grail! 🏆 Expensive, but worth the price!
Slurp does it again! I use this serum/toner whenever my skin barrier is compromised and/or my skin is oversensitive from all the prescription topicals I'm on. This is the shining star in my stripped down recovery routine, and I've gone through 3-4 bottles of it so far.
It leaves your skin feeling soft and Show more
UPDATE: breaks me out if I don’t take it with some kind of anti acne serum or similar exactly on my T Zone. So I don’t recommend it for oily skin type. But overall still healed my skin barrier very fast so for that purpose I remove only one star.
Couldn’t decide to give it 4 or 5 stars. Basically because the only thing that bothers me is the price.
