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!

My favorite way to cleanse in the morning!
I have dry but acne prone skin, so I really wanted to find a way to cleanse my skin in the morning without also stripping my skin of every ounce of moisture it has. I’ve been testing micellar waters for awhile now, but so far this one by COSRX is my favorite! It feels a little more hydrating than some of the others I’ve tried (Bioderma and Garnier), and Show more
One if the best micellar/cleansing water I've tried, doesn't feel drying and won't irratate sensative skin, I have oily sensative skin and I'm also acne prone.
Only use it when you have makeup spf or when your skin is really oily otherwise just use your gel or foam cleanser. And this cleansing water is also !!fungal ance safe!! what more can you ask for.
