Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

This is a good product that works, but only if you have mild redness/acne/closed comedones. It works better as a booster product to help speed up the progress of your other products IMO.

I use this once a day in the morning and it took me around 3-4 weeks to see visible results. My redness lessened, my acne calmed down, and my dark spots did lighten a bit. BUT these are mild results, but good Show more

I am really sensitive to fragrance and it doesnt have any, only product that worked for me. I used tons of different toners but this is holy grail. I purchased this 3 times. This even has the gaint sized one with 400ml. Gives me glass skin.
