What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Mixed

1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.

APRILSKIN Artemisia Rice Toner contains this as ingredient number 3.

Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner contains this as ingredient number 38.

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!

This toner works so efficiently for my super sensitive, seborrheic dermatitis, and fungal acne skin. I have only used it for about a week now, and my face has become so much plumper and bright. My face was quite dull before, but this has brightened it so much! Since there are anti-fungal properties in this as well, a majority of my fungal acne has managed to calm down and will only come out as a hormonal (time of the month) thing. I'd recommend it for people with super sensitive skin looking for a brightening, hydrating toner.
