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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

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.

Panthenol (also referred to as pro-vitamin B5) is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin.

lt is a humectant, meaning that it helps the skin attract and retain moisture.

Another benefit is the anti-inflammatory abilities. This means that it's great for sensitive, irritation-prone skin.

Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.

Very Nice Night Cream!
I have oily, acne prone skin, and this moisturizer is honestly amazing! It doesn't contain any comedogenic ingredients, and it's very soothing and hydrating. It absorbs into the skin in seconds, and makes my skin feel smooth, plump, fresh, and clean. It also contains salicylic acid, which is helpful for pores and oily skin. While this is technically a night cream, it can also be used during the day, since it is rich yet lightweight. 10/10 would recommend! (Also the packaging is super cool, makes me feel like I have a luxury product for a decent price)

great for oily skin!
it has a light, almost watery, texture and a slight cooling effect. it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and doesn’t leave my skin looking oily like other moisturizers i’ve tried. the only thing i’m not a fan of is the moisture capsules, it takes a lot of work to get them to absorb into the skin

(sensitive, combo)
A great in between of gel/cream consistency, drying very quickly and sitting comfortably without a weird film on the face. For my skin, it improved skin hydration, barrier, and acne.
