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.

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.

Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion 20 ingredients
Great product to prevent hyperpigmentation and sun spots due to the tranexamic acid, licorice root, and vit C derivative. My post acne marks fade a lot faster. Very gentle and hydrating to use daily, it spreads and absorbs easily. My dry acne prone skin loves this, no comedogenic, no alcohol or fragrance.
Edit 6th Dec 2024
I stoped using this lotion as i was trying to simplify my routine. A Show more
Great for hydration - I put it on three times waiting for it to become damp before applying. It did give me cc’s (closed comedones) sadly. The texture is watery which I prefer for a toner and has an alcohol scent but it fades rather quickly post application.
Hada Labo Premium Hydrating Milk 26 ingredients
has a creamy thick formula that does not sink in and just leaves an oily layer on top of my skin. probably not suitable for hot humid climates. broke me out as well.
