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!

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol. It is a hydrating and moisturizing agent created from the reduction process of glucose.

Most sorbitol is usually made from potato starch. It is also found in fruits such as apples and pears.

As a humectant, Sorbitol helps draw water to the skin. This helps keep the skin hydrated. Sorbitol also helps create a thicker texture in products. You might find sorbitol in your toothpaste and other gels.

It is a non-irritating ingredient that is great for those with dry skin.

Sorbitol is a prebiotic. It helps promote the growth of healthy bacteria on your skin. The bacteria on your skin form a microbiome. This microbiome helps protect your skin from infection and harmful bacteria.

This is my holy grail cleanser, I have been through more bottles of it than almost any other skincare product. This is gentle, non drying, it doesn’t strip my skin, perfect second step in a double cleanse routine.
This is for people who really wanted to love the Glossier Milk Jelly cleanser but thought it didn’t work well and that they needed something with just a tiny bit more cleansing power. It’s very calming, my skin is no longer bright red after washing. I’ve been using this since it launched and it’s really very lovely - absolutely worth a try if you’re looking for a calming and non-stripping cleanser.

Holy grail cleanser. Absolutely the perfect spot between actually cleaning the oils off your face but still being hydrated. After using your face feels so clean but not dry or tight just SOFT!!! I could not give this higher praise, I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. But for how good it is and how I’ve been unable to find any other cleansers that even remotely come close, I understand it as a business move lol.

HOLY GRAIL for dry acne prone skin
From the first time I used this I knew I was going to give it 5 stars, but I forced myself to use it for a couple months first to really give it a fair review. Finding the perfect cleanser for dry acne prone skin had been a struggle. I wanted something that never irritated or dried out my skin, but I also wanted something with actives to help combat both my dry flakes and my acne. This is the perfect cleanser for my needs! With ingredients like oatmeal, jojoba, and ceramides, my skin feels soothed and never dry (I can even leave this cleanser on my skin for several minutes with zero irritation or dryness). The milky formula of this cleanser is non-foaming and gentle, which for me makes it enjoyable to massage into my skin. This also contains PHA as its active, which isn’t the strongest exfoliator out there but personally I find it’s best to keep my cleansing step gentle, and if desired I can incorporate a stronger active later in my routine. I don’t have particularly sensitive skin, so I can’t say whether or not it will irritate someone whose skin is sensitive, but for other dry acne prone folks out there like me, I highly recommend giving this cleanser a try.
