Ingredients Explained

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

Rovectin Aqua Hydration Gentle Cleansing Gel 38 ingredients
This is the Rovectin Skin Essentials Conditioning cleanser with updated packaging. It's my go-to cleanser regardless of whatever skin troubles I have. It has a gel texture that turns into a very fluffy and silky foam. It feels very gentle and doesn't strip or irritate my skin. It always works wonderfully for me and I always make sure to have a bottle on hand.
This cleanser is a great option to begin your Korean skincare journey. It cleanses well without drying out my skin. However, I won’t be repurchasing it, as I’ve become more aware of my skin concerns and am looking for something different and more exciting, lol. For now, though, this is a safe option.
