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!

It has given me one of my worst acne breakouts ever. DO NOT USE if you are oily/acne-prone skin. It's a very heavy formula, that's not easy to wash off your face even when rinsing it thoroughly. So it always ends up building up inside your pores creating more gunk. Plus, I don't think it's even good at removing waterproof make-up, any micellar water or cleansing oil can do a better job.

I wanted to love this cleansing balm as it melted away make up and left my skin feeling fresh, but sadly after using it for a few months I realised it was breaking me out due to the ethylhexyl palmitate.

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.
