Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 
Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

This is the worst product that I ever tried on my face. My rosesea was mild , but after this I felt burning sensation on my face . My mom who doesn't have any sensitivity on her face , also faced the same issues ( redness , itching , burning)
Please check before buying.

Bought for my husband. He likes it. Fluid and non sticky but very hidrating. His rosacea didn't complain. Happy husband happy wife without someone using her skincare.

I was very skeptical about this product but once I tried this, my eczema on my forehead significantly reduced. Acne-prone and sensitive skin will EAT this up.

i thought it does nothing for my skin when i was using it occasionally, but than i ran out of my usual toner and wasn't able to buy for sometime, soi started using i'm from everyday twice, and damn, my purging i was having (from introducing new acid in my routine for my comedonal and hormonal acne) suppressed and then just stopped... i didn't had any bad breakouts since 2 months, i now understand Show more
