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.

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.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
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.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Cute, but did nothing to my skin. I guess it made my concealer look better, as any moisturizer. It feels cold because of the alcohol, not good for sensitive skin.
At first, I really liked this product and found it to be hydrating for my under eyes, especially on days with lack of sleep or where I’ve had a good cry. However, as of lately, I’ve been finding that my under eyes have more of a bumpy texture. I’m not sure if it’s directly because of this product, but I had been using it more when they started to show. :( Will update if I figure out more!
