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!

Thayers pH Balancing Gentle Face Wash with Aloe Vera 17 ingredients
Product needs a double cleanse, not a squeaky clean feel, not for those who prefer single cleansing routines. I say pair it with a good oil cleanse and toner. It’s good for acne prone & blackhead prone skin. Fungal acne will not get worse with this product. Some ingredients are not the best.
