Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Hydroxyethylcellulose is used to improve the texture of products. It is created from a chemical reaction involving ethylene oxide and alkali-cellulose. Cellulose is a sugar found in plant cell walls and help give plants structure.
This ingredient helps stabilize products by preventing ingredients from separating. It can also help thicken the texture of a product.
This ingredient can also be found in pill medicines to help our bodies digest other ingredients.

lovely serum
it took a while to work but it helped fade my acne scars and my skin felt a lot smoother
Perfect for my oily combination skin type. Helps eliminate whiteheads and get rid of acne. I just make sure to use a hydrating moisturiser after and in the day SPF
