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!

Works really well at getting rid of my mild/moderate acne but it is incredibly irritating. I can manage putting a thin layer over my affected areas no more than once a week otherwise my skin will react with dry patches, stinging/burning and redness. I have used it (very sparingly!) for a few years since coming off roaccutane.
Helps with my acne, but can be irritating. If you are considering using then google how to incorporate retinoids in your routine to make sure youre doing it right

Never gave me the miracle results I've seen all over TikTok but served me well for the 3+ years I was on this.
Been on this for 4 years. It does not perform miracles but it does keep your skin youthful to some extent sans procedures. Worked on reducing inflammation and acne but dried my skin out, even after a full year of consistent use. With this, sunscreen is non-negotiable.
