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.

Research shows centella asiatica can help increase Type I collagen production by increasing fibroblast production. Fibroblast helps form connective tissue.
The combination of all these properties makes centella asiatica leaf extract effective at soothing the skin.
Other components of centella asiatica leaf extract include Vitamin A, vitamin C, several B vitamins, and Asiatic Acid.

This is great for oily and sensitive skin! It's fragrance free for me and it lessens the oil production in my face when I use this. I also noticed that I don't get that much acne since I started using this. The downside of this product is I think the 50ml is not enough since it's like you're using the product too fast. This lasted for 2-3 months to me I guess. I'm glad they have a bigger version Show more
The product is really moisturizing and hydrating but it does not work for someone who has fungal acne and oily skin because it has oil it gives me closed comedones on my fungal acne although it might work for someone who doesn't have fungal acne problems
