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.

When I first used this product I didn’t think it was doing anything but I continued to use it because it didn’t break me out. about 3-4 weeks later i’m looking back at old picture of my skin and it really does make a difference with dark spots. I was and currently using panoxyl 4% so maybe that played somewhat of a part but I do recommend this product for acne scars, dark spots but i didn’t find Show more
It’s been 3-4 months already since I started using this and it’s a great product. It’s lightweight, it didn’t irritate my skin at all and I also noticed that my skin really got brighter over time. However, it did little to nothing to fade my hyperpigmentation :( I’m guessing that my case is just really stubborn

Surprisingly it actually worked, my skin was less irritated, more velvety, hydrated and there was a little bit of an improvement in pore size. However it does occasionally cause me very small whiteheads, this side effect is not severe, but I still wish it was fungal acne safe and non comedlgenic.
I tried this to minimize my pores, unfortunately I broke out real bad using this one. I have oily skin. I regret trying it.
