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!

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.

KAINE Rosemary Relief Gel Cleanser 43 ingredients
My current favorite cleanser !!! In spite of many (potentially) irritating ingredients, this product really healed my acne prone skin <333. My first impression on this was the herbal and gentle smell of rosemary which was divine, I am actually obsessed with the scent of this cleanser ðŸ˜. Secondly, it cleanses your face so well, leaving it soft and hydrated without feeling like your face has been Show more
Tried this randomly because of a sample freebie, it exceeded my expectations.
I had a very angry pimple on my chin when I tried this, and the very next day it dried out. I believe this cleanser helped.
My skin fluctuates, but I lean more on the dry side. And this doesn't dry me even more. I love the smell, and I think this product is underrated!

This is a very gentle cleanser. Doesn't foam up much. It does have a unique smell.
Good cleanser, bought when my usual was out of stock. Gentle, doesn't foam very much. Takes alot more to rinse off than my usual cleansers. My skin can be sensitive and this doesn't break me out. Wouldn't rush to buy again as it doesn't dazzle but good if you can't find anything else.
