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.

this works soooo good. i have dehydrated oily acne-prone skin and i tend to have little bumps & slightly clogged pores and this cleanses so well. i love how it’s pH balanced and it also smells like macarons to me ^o^

the cleanser has a very smooth and creamy-ish texture. it lathers nicely on the skin and feels soft. after use, my skin doesn’t feel stripped and gives me a very refreshed and clean feeling !! :3 you also only need a pea sized amount, so a little goes a long way. one bottle can last you a good while if you use the right amount each time.

i’ve used this cleanser for about 3 months (that’s how long the bottle lasted me) and i can tell a difference between other cleansers i’ve also liked and used for a while. this one effectively cleans my face and allows my products to absorb into the skin more. i can also see that my pores started looking better after each use.

i 100% recommend this product if you haven’t tried it yet!! i love it so much but i do want to try other cleansers. i will definitely come back to this one.
