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.

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.
Learn more about GlycerinCitric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).
As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.
If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

I've used this product for so many years as it really does a good job with fading out post-acne marks. The texture and the smell are also incredible.
However, i've recently stopped using it because despite it not breaking me out, I didn't loved the slightly oily feeling that it left on my skin. I'm sure it's not a big deal for many people, but it might make you look a little bit greasy if you're Show more
Love this serum
I recently bought this serum and have been using it everyday for three weeks. I am really impressed with the results because it has helped reduce the hyperpigmentation of my acne scars which I’m really happy about since I’ve had them for over a year. Can’t wait to see how my face looks after finishing the bottle. Definetly recommend this to people that have acne scars.

Messed with my skin barrier, so I wouldn’t use it if you have sensitive skin. I’m going to keep using it until I run out (making sure to moisturize accordingly) but I’m not going to buy it again. Might be good for other skin types.
Ok
It's a just okay serum. You can get the same result with some other brands half of the price or even better
