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 was told to use this twice a day by my doctor. After using Adapalene for ages which destroyed my skin barrier I was worried this would ruin my skin more. So far its been great, I have had no damaged or irritated skin (except for some slight tingling on application), it's reduced the redness of my inflammatory acne and seems to reduce the oiliness of my skin.

I read somewhere that this product shouldn't cause purging. For me it has, but in a good way, as it has brought the acne that is deep down in my skin to the surface and turned it into a whitehead, which for me is a lot easier to treat than the deep cystic acne I usually have! Would definitely recommend this product if you have acne and adapalene hasn't worked for you.
