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 really dislike the formula because it doesn't smell very good (like chemicals, but at least it's not a very strong scent), and it feels sticky on the skin even making it very hard to spread it through your skin. Not to mention te packaging which is made with a very poor plastic, and if you want to get all of the product, you'll need to disassemble it (and it's not easy, because it's sealed). Otherwise, a very considerable amount of product will stay inside and the pump won't get it out.

However it's actually the product with the highest concentration of Tretinoin (0,02%) that you will find over-the-counter in Spain. And it really works. My derm recommended it to treat my cystic acne and it has definitely improved a lot since I started using it every other night.

Great retinal for the price. I find retinal less irritating then retinol. It can be my skin though.
