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.

Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.
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.

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.

Here's what our community thinks
AXIS - Y Daily Purifying Treatment Toner 38 ingredients
This is a gentle exfoliant that helps me clear my skin. I find it not too harsh and it is not drying at all. However it may be because my skin is used to BHA and can handle stronger concentrations. As it is quite gentle on my skin I use it once every day.
Hurt my skin
It reddened my skin and it burnt like acid, not for me

It’s very harsh. I don't use it now and I don't know if they changed their formula. But anyway, when I was using it in 2019 (I think), it made my face really irritated. My face would become red and there would be a burning sensation. I would spray it on cotton pads or spray straight on face and it did a great job cleaning gunk on my face I would say, I will give it that.
