Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

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 
Masking, Solvent

Dipropylene Glycol is a synthetically created stabilizer and solvent. It is a part of the glycol class in the alcohol family.

Dipropylene Glycol helps dissolve and evenly distribute ingredients. It also helps decrease viscosity and thin out texture.

As a masking agent, Dipropylene Glycol can be used to cover the smell of other ingredients. However, it does not have a scent.

Studies show Dipropylene Glycol is considered safe to use in skincare.

Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Soothing

Allantoin plays a role in soothing and moisturizing the skin. Because of this, it is often added to products with strong active ingredients.

The most soothing cleanser!
It really soothes and calms my skin greatly, helps with redness and sensitivity. And the texture is so nice! It's like washing your face with a fluffy cloud <3

Gently cleansing, nothing special. Skin feels bouncy and smoothened, but might not improve pore issues, recommened to moisture after. Result might be visible after using more than twice as its gentle

I gave this cleanser so many chances but ITS CLEARLY NOT FOR ME. I love the afterwash look. My face feel soft, foamy, doesnt feel tight. But this cleanser seems to give me acne and bumps.

As much as i want to love this i cant. What i hate about this also is the fragrance, its like your using a bleaching soap on your face im not a fan of the smell that its giving me.
