Ingredients Explained

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!

Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.

Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.

UPDATED REVIEW: unfortunately, this eventually started to break me out. I suspect butylene glycol and squalane being high in concentration is what gave me trouble. I have extremely sensitive and acne prone skin though, so I still stand by Purito as a brand and this particular product, it’s just not for me… *cries* I love how it made my skin glow aside from the breakouts. Just another note- it’s best to apply this to damp skin as it can feel sticky otherwise.

I like this moisturiser as it has minimal ingredients which is good for my acne prone, sensitive skin. It's better for me to use it at night as a soothing overnight cream as it can make my already oily skin look oilier. The only thing is I don't find it as hydrating as I'd like it to be but I guess that's the sacrifice I have to make for a moisturiser for it to have minimal ingredients! It's more hydrating when I use the Cosrx snail mucin essence before. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect moisturiser.
