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. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Depending on the viscosity, dimethicone has different properties.
Ingredients lists don't always show which type is used, so we recommend reaching out to the brand if you have questions about the viscosity.
This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation because it does not get absorbed into skin. However, people with silicone allergies should be careful about using this ingredient.
Note: Dimethicone may contribute to pilling. This is because it is not oil or water soluble, so pilling may occur when layered with products. When mixed with heavy oils in a formula, the outcome is also quite greasy.

I find it truly useless, it doesn't provide enough moisture, so my skin feels very tight, especially in cheek area. If I combine it with my other moisturizers, my forehead ends up oily, definitely not good for seborrheic skin. A huge disappointment for its pricepoint.

I tried to use it when I was suffering of acne to control oil production but it ended up worsening the situation. Tried again when healed from acne and still didn’t like it. There are valid alternatives from Korean brands that do the job way better.
piles up so badly, irritated my skin and feels terrible on the skin
