Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

It’s been 84 years…and I’ve finally find THE ONE. This was sent down from the skincare heavens. It’s amazing for my acne prone skin. I’ve been dying to find a hydrating serum that would hydrate, repair my barrier, not flare up my acne/FA, not burn my skin, and that would last throughout the entire day. If this is you, LOOK NO FURTHER! I find that it’s best to apply this immediately after cleansing Show more
Great hydrating serum that doesn’t trigger my super acne prone skin

Hands-down works. It's really been helping my dehydrated oily skin; it made a visible difference overnight, and I've received unprompted comments that my forehead has smoothened.
Light texture, no smell to speak of.
Note - it can be a little sticky when applied to dry skin. I've found this goes away if applied to slightly damp skin.
