Ingredients Side-by-side
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!
Learn more about WaterGlycerin 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.

Extremely calming + supports skin barrier + non-comedogenic!
This is my absolute favorite moisturizer. It's a light, lotion type moisturizer that absorbs very well, and should work well for all skin types. It has glycerin (moisturizing), squalane (anti-inflammatory, hydrating), hyaluronic acid (hydrating), and 5 ceramides (skin barrier boosting/repairing + calming). It doesn't have a sticky or oily finish and it layers very well with other products.

Unfortunately it made my rosacea break out all over with those tiny white bumps. Shame because it was a lovely lotion and felt great…maybe it was the alcohol in it who knows.

This is my HG!!!!! Love love love. It’s the single product I can rely on that will consistently give me good results. Rough exfoliant? Cicaplast. Small breakouts? Cicaplast. Redness around nose? Cicaplast. I slug at night with it and then next morning I feel like a new person. My only recommendation is that you should get it from reputable reseller AKA NOT AMAZON!!!! I get mine from CVS but I had some from France and those honestly felt better!

I had high hopes for it since everyone says it's for sensitive irritated skin. Idk if it's the new formula. That's the first cosmetic product I have allergic reaction to. 10 min after I applied it I got a strong metallic taste on the tip of my tongue(nope I didn't lick my skin!). I tried to ignore it and apply again the next day. And I did the next day, got the same reaction. After I woke up my face was covered in big red patches, swollen.
Why it has alluminium? It gives you no benefit. I suspect it. They should really change the formula - Dimethicone is the third ingredient. Some cheap Korean creams have better formula.
If you have dry skin it may work for you and you might tolerate it. I just share my experience.
