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!

very uncomfortable
saw a lot of ads for this brand so i wanted to try it. caused a lot of irritation and made my skin more dry. has a lot of unnecessary fermented ingredients that i must’ve been allergic to as well as common allergens. do not recommend for sensitive skin.

Review

Preliminary review before a longer one: this product has been amazing so far. I've been struggling with dry skin from tazarotene, and this has completely eradicated the skin peeling. It feels very light and soothing on the skin, no smell, and I feel like it has helped with breakouts as well. Hydrated skin is happy skin!
