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!

I've been using this for long enough now to confirm it's really working. I bought it because it's FA safe, non comedogenic and because of the few ingredients and the fact it's packed with ceramides. I have very sensitive, reactive skin and it doesn't irritate it. It's very gentle, hydrating and calming. This one foams just a little, so if you like lots of foam, it isn't for you. I don't feel Show more

Umm been using 1 week and think it may be my HG! Leaves my combo acne prone sensitive skin feeling soft and has not broken me out — not sure if I can provide updates but very happy I found this since my skin is reactive to everything it seems like and if it doesn’t break me out then it causes redness. Pls never reformulate 🙏🏼 for my sensitive skin friends I’d say this is worth a try even for $20 Show more

Amazing cleanser for sensitive skin! Skin doesn't feel dry after and almost feels moisturized with this cleanser. Not very tough on removing makeup so I do recommend using micellar water / makeup remover before since this product is so gentle. But I am soo happy with this product it's I think the first cleanser that does 0 irritation for me
