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

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!

I use this every morning after a "no rinse" cleanser and before my serums. It is hydrating (as to be expected, it is water after all). I find it soothing and occasionally use it in the evening especially during the winter when the central heating makes my skin dry.

This may just be a HG product for me.

I cannot live without it lol
This is one of my HG, period. I have the bigger size at home, I have the medium size at my boyfriend's house and I have the smaller size in my purse so I can have it with me at all times. I use it in my routines before applying my essence and serums and I apply and reapply it many times during the day to keep my face fresh and hydrated. Great to apply after you finish your make-up too!

Using it in of all my day routines
This is a permanent component of all my day routines which hydrates, soothes and calms irritated skin and also has great long-term benefits. It is rich in Selenium, a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation and improves elasticity. I generally use it during the day because Selenium also provides triple benefits to the complexion, protecting against UV damage, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation. I spray it on my face to dampen skin, then apply products with Hyaluronic Acid.
