Cyclopentasiloxane, or D5, is a silicone used to improve texture of products and trap moisture.
D5 is considered lightweight and volatile. Volatile means it evaporates quickly after application. Once evaporated, D5 leaves a thin barrier that helps keep skin hydrated.
It is also an emollient. Emollients help soften the skin and prevent water loss. Silicones create a silky texture in products. D5 helps other ingredients become more spreadable.
Studies show D5 is safe to use in skincare products. We recommend speaking with a skincare professional if you have concerns.

This is likely best for someone who needs to even out general skintone, vs. someone who is truly trying to hide redness (e.g. from rosacea).
Product is lite, blends beautifully, feels nice on skin.
This breaks me out every time I use it. Causes fungal acne flair up. Not safe for fungal acne prone people.
