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.

I think this is the best product I’ve used for dry skin! I have combination skin that tends to go dry depending on the climate. I usually apply it to the areas where my skin gets dry, and it did wonders for me! The only downside is the strong smell.

I have super sensitive skin that has been getting dry with Differin use. This is the perfect night cream as the last step of my routine. I wake up with baby smooth, moisturised skin and my breakouts are minimised. I also love the smell!

Pros: Lightweight product texture, long-lasting hydration, not contributing to any breakouts, great ingredients for skin barrier support, affordable + worth the money.

Cons: Not great for super dry days (esp. in cold weather), can't be used as a "moisture bomb" overnight due to thin texture, pump can be difficult sometimes.

I have oily combo skin, and frequently get whiteheads and hormonal cystic acne. Absorbs well and hydrates my skin really well too. the light gel like consistency really works well for my oily combo skin type. when I put it on the night before tho, I do wake up kinda oily. I've been using it for about 6 months, never has given me problems, and does what I need it to do. Doesn't seem to worsen my Show more
