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.

How this broke me out? I truly don’t know. I’m almost too embarrassed to admit it, but I know others have gotten cystic acne from this so I want to share my experience in case someone is questioning if it’s just them.
I also tried La Roche Posay's thermal spring water but this one is clearly superior. It actually calms and soothes irritated and inflamed skin.

I use this every morning before Curel intensive moisturiser, and I feel it gives my skin just that little extra hydration. In terms of texture, it's very much like water; I pump it three times in my hand and tap it all over my face. I have repurchased several times as it works for my sensitive, dry skin.
I’ve been using this for two months now and I love it. A lot of toners just feel like water and don’t do much but this one adds hydration to my skin and calms redness. The texture is slightly more viscous than water but not by much. It’s so simple and adds the hydration I need 🫶
