1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

It has really saved my skin from so many problems! I bought it because of all the good reviews and it did not disappoint! After a month and a half of using it (I use it every night) I have noticed the following changes:

I no longer have those massive breakouts. Only one or two spots when I'm about to have my period.

My skin is much smoother.

The bumps on my chin have disappeared.

I no longer have clogged pores

It has regulated my oil production (my skin is not so oily anymore. Yay :))

I hope it helped you ;)
