Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

I have a combination skin type (oily t-zone, normal for the rest).
I use this cleanser once nightly. It has a mild medicinal-like scent typically found in ointment balms albularyos (witch doctors) tend to use. 1 pump from this bottle is enough to cover my whole face. I expected that this cleanser would dry my skin due to salicylic acid but it didn't. Instead, it leaves my face clean and soft Show more
