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!

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

Best centella asiatica product you'll ever try, if you're like me and the skin1004 centella ampoule did nothing for you this is going to be your holy grail because God this is just so much better. My redness has never beenn calmed and soothed like that before whatttt. Mixsoon uses a slower and more expensive way to extract from the plant so that's really why this product is just so serendipity, Show more

So your probably here to compare this with the skin1004 centella ampoule and I will just say that for me both worked and I loved them both 🤷‍♀️😅. However some differences first off viscosity of the product this one is a lot more thicker (though it’s still water like!), this one also has a slight scent it’s earthy but very very light and can only smell it if your sniffing the bottle 🤣, this has the Show more

This has been my favourite barrier supporting ampoule/serum to date! My skin soaks this up I use this both am and pm (with a little more in the pm). I have dry, sensitive and rosacea prone skin and this hasn’t ever aggravated anything, no reactions, blends effortlessly and just gives me a hydrated glowy look! Love it! It’s a creamy ampoule but not super thick and just melts into the skin. It’s so Show more

Lovely texture and a good value. Unfortunately, my skin reacted violently to it, it was very irritating, especially around my cheekbones. It is ironic because it’s marketed as soothing and calming for sensitive skin, and I’m not even that sensitive. My suspicion is that I can’t tolerate fermented ingredients because it happened with some other fermented products as well.
