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!

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

very nice eye cream, helps with my under-eye darkness and sensitive skin. a different eye cream i tried gave me millia so i'm hoping this one doesn't do the same thing. i think it's worth it to spend money on this, than to spend it on low-end products. i use this on top of my hyaluronic acid serum from l'oreal.

It's good!
I like it! It was the first eye cream I've used that I've actually seen a difference in my dark undereye circles and even got rid of the thick and harsh lines as well. I've been using this since high school and I like it! I'm still looking for other eye creams because I do think that there is something better out there but this is a solid choice!
