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!

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.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

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.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

What it does: Masking, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Mixed

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.

Within a product, Caprylic Triglyceride can thicken the product and make spreadability easier by dissolving clumping compounds. An added benefit of Caprylic Triglyceride is its antioxidant properties.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid. Caprylic Triglyceride has not been found to be toxic for human use in concentrations under 50%.

While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

Great smell, but makes me oily as can be
I love the smell of the Biore products, but all their products make me either break out or oily as can be. Sometimes both. I wish that didn't happen, but with my skin that's not uncommon. It started out working great but just didn't end up staying that way for me.

Burned and was super messy
To begin with this was a super messy product when washing it off. It got everywhere and stuck to the sink not wanting to come off. I’ve used a lot of clay masks before and they all wash down the drain easily....

Burned and was super messy
To begin with this was a super messy product when washing it off. It got everywhere and stuck to the sink not wanting to come off. I’ve used a lot of clay masks before and they all wash down the drain easily. This also burned my face really badly. I left it on the full time and it burned, not as bad as some but very much so. I tried it twice with the same reaction each time. I’ve never had a clay or charcoal mask burn before as they all have been super gentle. This one though was not. I bought it off Amazon so I am not sure if it was a fake or not as I’ve had several Amazon beauty purchases not be legit. So maybe that was it but I’m not sure. But this burned!
