Beware, it contains preservative Phenoxyethanol. It made my skin red, itchy and burning
So want it to work for me since it is free of paraben, silicone, fragrance etc.. But how imprudent of me for not checking its ingredient list before I bought it. The top ingredient after water is Phenoxyethanol, a preservative which can highly irritate skin, lung and eyes according to its Material Safety Data Sheet. Sure enough, after the first use, I have to return it because my face and neck became red, patchy, itchy and had slightly burning sensation. I thought my skin has to get used to it so I left it on for hours but it only felt worse. Once I washed it off and splashed my skin with organic rose water, thankfully, my skin was able to calm down in a few minutes, but still itchy. That's when I checked the ingredient list and found out the top ingredient after aqua is a known skin irritant preservative. I feel so stupid that I spent so much time reading the glowing reviews but not reading the simple ingredient list on the product page. Lesson learned.
