What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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!

What it does: Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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.

Best cleanser ever. Deeply and effectively cleanses while providing exfoliation that’s gentle enough to use for post-procedure patients.

I like the idea, but the execution could have been better…
Occasionally I enjoy a physical exfoliant, but finding a good one can be tricky. When I saw that Peace Out had one that used hydrogenated jojoba oil as its exfoliant and that it was in a balm type formula I was intrigued as someone with dry acne prone skin. I like that it has ingredients like niacinamide and salicylic acid. It has got a good grit; the exfoliant is not too harsh or uneven (like fruit seeds/nut shells sometimes are) AND it’s not too gentle/ineffective like products that exfoliate by balling up on themselves like peeling gels (personal experience, no hate if peeling gels work for you). However, I do find that this product isn’t the easiest to spread and so it ends up dragging on the skin. This can be easily fixed by adding a little water or even an oil cleanser to the balm to help it glide across the skin easier. But it also leaves a very noticeable film on the skin. Again, this can be negated by using a second cleanse/water based cleanser after this to wash off that waxy feeling layer left behind. Having said that however, I don’t think this is a very good first cleanse anyway. Peace Out says themselves that this should not be used around the eyes, so although this can be used to remove face makeup/sunscreen, you’re gonna have to use something else to remove your eye makeup/sunscreen. This product can be a little bit of hassle to use, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it. It’s nice and since I only use it once in awhile the cons don’t bother me too much. But I don’t know if I’ll be repurchasing this once I finish it up. I might if I don’t find a better alternative, but in the end this is a product I can live with or without.
