Community Rating: Loved

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!

Old Formula, I miss you
I originally got a bunch of samples of this product in 2016 when I was working at a Walgreens. I didn't use it until about a year ago and started using it daily. It seemed to help and I liked the convenience. I ran out of samples eventually and went to Target to find it again. The new formula, which I'm assuming is new because the branding is different and I had a different reaction to it, left my skin burning for several minutes. I don't use it anymore and don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone anymore as well.
