Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

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.

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate is used to help stabilize a product.

It is a chelating agent, meaning it helps prevent metal ions from binding to other ingredients. This prevents unwanted reactions in products. Metal ions can come into a product via the water ingredient. They are found in trace amounts and are not known to be harmful.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer. It is used to thicken and improve the texture of products. Due to its properties, it can prevent water and oil ingredients from separating.

One of the best
This moisturizer is really good, but if you apply little excess you will feel sticky and need sometime to be absorbed.. it’s not treating acnes but it can try to maintain their level without excess of acne .. over all it’s one of the best not the best and i cant use it alone for perfect skin day

Awful compared to Beautifying Acne Cream from Vichy
Vichy for some reason discontinued their best selling beautifying Anti Acne moisturizing lotion. They reccomended this for me instead, and it is the worst moisturizer on the market in my opinion. It leaves me oily, doesn't mattify at all, refuses to absorb no matter how long or how much product is used, and worsened acne to a horrific degree. Show more

Not fungal acne safe. Must have been recently reformulated as current formulation contains parkii butter

I have rosacea. It singed when I applied. I had to wash off. I edited my rating to 3 stars because this probably would work for somebody whose skin barrier is not compromised as much as mine. I’m not sure how it would work for longer period of time because I washed it of after 5 minutes of stinging, nothing extreme, but would not like to risk it.
