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!

As a redhead Iβve got some pretty reactive skin, but vitamin C is a must. Iβve tried vitamin C serums with regular ascorbic acid but they were too harsh and irritating, even using once a week. This serum contains a stabilized form of vitamin C that is so gentle I can use it daily without any problems. When I run out, I can immediately tell a difference! My skin loves this stuff. I hope they never Show more
This serum contain SAP not ascorbic acid and βIt is more difficult to find studies and documentation on SAP in comparison to the other derivatives of vitamin C.β
The serum did nothing for my skin that might be the reason why.

TL;DR: Safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Expensive, but lasts me a long time. Doesn't pill.
I tried the moisturizer first, then bought this, and I think I like this more. I use this on rotation with my prescription actives, and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. It also didn't break me out, which is amazing, and goes on smooth. It doesn't pill with my other products, and I've had this Show more
When I bought their moisturizer (which became my HG), it came with a sample of this. I used it up and immediately liked it enough to invest in a full size (invest bc this brand isn't cheap:/). I'm suprised both their products are THIS good, whoever formulates this is a genius.
This doesn't break me out, clog my pores, irritate me, nothing. It's FA safe. It hydrates my skin and makes it GLOWY. Show more
