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!

I really like it and it cleansed my skin well, but it didnt do much for my problems. Very good basic cleanser
Mild and gentle
Affordable but if you want spend more on your cleanser go for cerave or vanicream. This product just doing fine but have so many type of parabens
Neutrogena Clear & Radiant Face Wash 16 ingredients
not the best cleanser, but helps drying out my oily skin. finishes off making your skin look brighter for a moment.
It seems to have been working pretty well for me for the last few months. One problem-it isn't available in the US. I bought it at a Ross in the US, but it isn't available anywhere online. So unless I want to visit the UK before this one runs out, I'll have to keep an eye out for a replacement.
