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!

Good for fungal acne but it’s pretty drying. I have dry skin so it’s not the best for me. I’ll be finishing the bottle I have then switching out for something less drying. It’s been good on my fungal acne journey, plus it’s not irritating on my sensitive skin. It’s got simple ingredients but yeah.. drying.

I bought this product thinking it was going to become a staple on my routine, it had so many good qualities, it was fungal acne safe and non comedogenic. The first time I tried it it burned my skin and eyes, but I decided to give it another try and I was really pleased as it got rid of almost most of my fungal acne HOWEVER its very drying! I think it broke my skin barrier, won't repurchase for Show more

My always go to makeup removal
It was introduced to me by a skin doctor when treating my skin barrier damage. I did try out other brands, but I always come back to this product after that.
