Ingredients Explained

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

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.

Here's what our community thinks
Clinique All About Clean™ Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser 17 ingredients
I used to love this stuff, as it was the only thing that got rid of sebum and dry skin in my nose pores. However, it was very stripping and once winter came it really destroyed my skin barrier. Retrospectively it was irritating my skin and enlarging my pores.
Very stripping - I have oily/combination skin and this really damaged my skin barrier. Right after using this it would make my skin feel tight and irritated. Definitely stay well away from this product if you have sensitive/dry skin.
