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!

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

It’s official, after weeks of testing this out on my insanely sensitive and acne prone skin this has become my holy grail. Not a single moisturizer has worked for me except for this one, not even the Avene sensitive fluide. The ingredients are few, simple, and noncomedogenic. As someone who can’t tolerate occlusives of any kind, this is my saving grace. After a few uses this alleviates dryness.

Average face gel
Didn't see any improvement on skin, although it felt ok and didn't make it worse. On certain days it felt sticky.
