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!

Although this product wasn't irritating I felt that this was a bit too gentle for the type of acne I was experiencing. I also wasn't a fan of how it lathered, felt as if I always had to use more to get the the foamy texture I preferred.

Completely transformed my skin after one week (bumpy forehead and texture)! Also, since it's a wash of salicylic acid, there is minimal to no irritation

The best cleanser that I ever had! I have combi skin that is oily on my forehead and dry in other parts of my face, and it cleans my face perfectly without leaving a drying feeling afterwards. Also, it doesn’t provoke my fungal acne, which is already a huge plus.
