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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

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.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

I used it for 2 months and it felt really nice! I did find out I have fungal acne and this contributed to it, otherwise it was nice and hydrating

This toner works so efficiently for my super sensitive, seborrheic dermatitis, and fungal acne skin. I have only used it for about a week now, and my face has become so much plumper and bright. My face was quite dull before, but this has brightened it so much! Since there are anti-fungal properties in this as well, a majority of my fungal acne has managed to calm down and will only come out as a hormonal (time of the month) thing. I'd recommend it for people with super sensitive skin looking for a brightening, hydrating toner.
