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.

I keep coming back to this moisturizer to lock in hydration bc of the thick texture
Wanted to like. Smells weirdly acidic. I am rosacea prone and my sensitive areas flushed red/pink immediately on application (then faded). At first seemed dewy but skin seemed dullish and felt tacky 30 min after application. Gave it a go for a few days just to be sure but an increased but mild redness persisted. Ingredients seem clean but something was irritating me. Returning.
