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!

Pyunkang Yul Calming Low pH Foaming Cleanser 34 ingredients
Gentle, soft, and has a very mild scent! Been using this cleanser for a while as my go-to due to its low ph and centella extract in it- you only need about half a pump for your whole face. It leaves my face feeling calm and not irritated. It’s also not very drying, and gentle.
I really like this cleanser! It's foamy, soft, and it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight but definitely cleanses it!
