Hypothetically Speaking: Dr.Lin Skincare Daily Hydrating Gel

 


This is a request from a reader for a review of Dr.Lin Daily Hydrating Gel.

Ingredients:

Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Allantoin, Arbutin, Panthenol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Hydroxide, Carbomer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Excellent (very beneficial ingredients, proven research)
Good (mostly beneficial ingredients, not extensive research available or just not quite outstanding properties)
OK (mostly thickeners, emulsifiers, mild preservatives, pH adjusters, all that is necessary formulation wise, but not a skincare per se) 
Bad (anything that shouldn't be in skincare, irritants and fragrance)
