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!

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.

I used this In the cold months of november/december.
I stopped my whole skincare routine and just used this in my bathroom on my face in the morning and night (without cleansing). My skin was so moisturised and clear for ages until I started using other stuff. It surprised me and my relatively sensitive, acne prone skin. After a while it broke me out though.
BYOMA Moisturizing Gel-Cream 19 ingredients
Pros: Lightweight product texture, long-lasting hydration, not contributing to any breakouts, great ingredients for skin barrier support, affordable + worth the money.
Cons: Not great for super dry days (esp. in cold weather), can't be used as a "moisture bomb" overnight due to thin texture, pump can be difficult sometimes.
I have oily combo skin, and frequently get whiteheads and hormonal cystic acne. Absorbs well and hydrates my skin really well too. the light gel like consistency really works well for my oily combo skin type. when I put it on the night before tho, I do wake up kinda oily. I've been using it for about 6 months, never has given me problems, and does what I need it to do. Doesn't seem to worsen my Show more
