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.

Would repurchase, have repurchased.
Fantastic and effective vitamin c serum for acne prone skin. The 10% is more suited for reactive skin. I hate that it works so well for overall skin health. It made my skin just look more … balanced? And it also worked synergistically with azelaic acid to fade my dark spots.
