Ingredients Explained

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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!

It is a great moisturiser. The only downside for me is the price. It’s very hydrating and I only need to use a small dollop of it across my face so it will last me a while. I use it before my makeup in the morning and at night with the rest of my rhode routine and everything works well together. There’s no pilling and it absorbs well. It doesn’t feel like a cream that dries down after ten minutes Show more

She has never failed me. Never betrayed me. Steadfast. Loyal.
I really wanted to like this product as I have heard great things but it just didn't work well for me. It gave me tons of cc's while drying out and irritating my skin.
