Frequently Asked Questions

What can glycerin do for the skin?

Glycerin is a humectant that draws water into the skin, helping to deeply hydrate, smooth rough patches, and support a healthy skin barrier.

Is glycerin good for sensitive skin?

Yes, glycerin is gentle and non-comedogenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin — it soothes irritation while maintaining moisture balance.

Can I use glycerin on oily or acne-prone skin?

Absolutely, glycerin is lightweight and won’t clog pores. It hydrates without heaviness and helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance.

Is glycerin safe to use every day?

Yes, glycerin is safe and effective for daily use in cleansers, moisturisers, and serums, offering long-lasting hydration for all skin types.

How does glycerin compare to hyaluronic acid?

Both are excellent hydrators, glycerin pulls moisture from the air and deeper layers of the skin, while hyaluronic acid binds water at the surface. Many formulas combine both for maximum hydration.

Can glycerin help with dry, flaky skin?

Definitely, glycerin is one of the best ingredients for dry skin. It helps soften and smooth by replenishing lost moisture and preventing further dehydration.

What skin types benefit most from glycerin?

All skin types can benefit, but glycerin is especially effective for dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin needing extra hydration and barrier support.
