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. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Deep Cleansing Foaming Cream Cleanser 12 ingredients
Good if you want to prevent acne. Although it probably won't help if you're already broken out. Left my skin very tight and that's why I stopped using it
It has not got rid of my acne and I think it dries my skin out. That said it is pretty good, also great value for money because the bottle is big and you don't need to use a lot of the product at a time.

Amazing cleanser for sensitive skin! Skin doesn't feel dry after and almost feels moisturized with this cleanser. Not very tough on removing makeup so I do recommend using micellar water / makeup remover before since this product is so gentle. But I am soo happy with this product it's I think the first cleanser that does 0 irritation for me
It’s very gentle but it always makes many small pimples on my face
