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.

This is hands down the best product I’ve ever tried on my sensitive skin.

It’s really calming, very hydrating, improves texture of the skin, it also brightens but just a little

This has been the only product my skin can tolerate alongside green tea toner but I prefer this, and to think I only use this toner in my skin care alongside Simple micellar face wash for sensitive skin and that’s Show more

A very gentle and hydrating micellar water. It gets rid of my makeup effectively, except for waterproof mascara. I don’t experience any irritation and it leaves my skin feeling a bit more hydrated. I still prefer using an oil cleanser to remove makeup, but this is a good micellar option. Plus, it comes in a big bottle.

I identify more as sensitive than dry, but I found it stripping my skin constantly. I’m thinking I just had a bad reaction to the sea salt but even just on the back of my hand it dried my skin out significantly too. It even worsened my eczema on my wrist. I couldn’t even push myself to finish the bottle my reaction was that bad.
