#1Benzoyl Peroxide
Benzoyl Peroxide is very effective against acne. It destroys Propionibacterium acnes - a bacteria that causes this problem. That's why it works so great. It also helps to renew and exfoliate dead cells helping to make the skin cleaner. You can find this component in many anti-acne products.
BUT you should avoid this component if you have dry skin. Even people with oily skin notice that it dries the skin hard. Be careful!
#2Water
Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.
#2Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate
#3Ethoxydiglycol
#3Disodium Edetate
#4Cyclotetrasiloxane
#4Poloxamer 182
#5Cyclopentasiloxane
Cyclopentasiloxane is a fluid silicone. It’s non-greasy and doesn’t have any scent or color. It evaporates pretty fast which makes this ingredient essential when it comes to making products that have to dry quickly. It also gives a nice silky feeling when you apply the product to the skin and hair. It leaves a thin film that protects the skin after evaporation.
Cyclopentasiloxane is chemically neutral, meaning it doesn’t react with other components.
