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!

Here's what our community thinks
Tirtir SOS Serum 27 ingredients
I have no idea what the hype is. Sure the ingredients sound fine but it’s anything but hydrating and pretty sure it broke my skin barrier or maybe it doesn’t pair well with basic ingredients and trust I know it has copper peptides so I know what not to pair it with. Still my face after a week felt on fire… still can’t find the right routine because I read and fall for fads and “reviews”. if you Show more
Been using around 3 weeks. Feels hydrating and leaves skin glowy and less tight after use. I haven’t noticed overall increased skin hydration when not using but maybe I haven’t used it long enough yet.

Not much results, and once again, not great for people with rosacea/sensitive skin. It is hydrating, however. Just wish I checked for HA before I bought.
Didn’t do much for Acne and Soothing. Is it just the whole Pine Cica line or does it not do much?
