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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

1st use after oil cleanser and it dried my skin and burned the area around my nose and cheeks it was red and irritated
İ have sensitive/dry skin
——- update:
Since i spent money on it now i use pea size enough to remove the oil cleanser but not enough to strip my skin as i had damaged my barrier with over exfoliating since my skin gets flaky…
Maybe it will work better later when i fix this Show more

Great cleanser, but is true that it’s more drying than what I expected.
Its scent reminds me of Vicks VapoRub. I don’t know why other reviews are saying that it has no scent or a light scent. I like it though.

Has a thick texture similar to olive oil and works well, but might require two or three pumps for stubborn eye makeup. Leaves a slight residue after emulsifying and washing off, but a foaming second cleanser takes care of that.

This is such an amazing product. I find with a lot of cleansing oils they break me out and this just doesn’t do that. I’ve found with other make up remover type cleansers they don’t remove the waterproof and long wear makeup I often use and this just melts everything away.
