    So I noticed most of my favorite skin care products list glycerin as the second or third ingredient. I mix 4 parts distilled water to 1 part glycerin and shake it up. I use it just before my...

    I bought vegetable glycerin to mix with rose hydrosol as a face mist on hot days with 1:4 ratio. But the diy glycerin in hydrosol spray is very moisturizing that I could replace actual hydrating...

    There's no question that glycerin will take care of any dryness that you have, no matter how severe. What makes it a bit difficult to use is finding the proper ratio between glycerin and whatever...

    I would not recommend using glycerin alone or mixed with water as a moisturizer. It gave me closed comedones overnight. The issue with generic glycerin is that..you don't know the source! Palm...

    TL;DR (Summary): I have fussy, combo, acne-prone skin and most (multi ingredient) moisturizers break me out, so I used to go without one. I'm glad I found this. A solution of 2.5%, 5% or 7.5% or...

    UPDATE 01 May 2019: Glycerin and water is a mixture which I use everyday. As moisturizer, my skin likes the combo very much (prone to pimples, oily T-zone, normal cheeks). As a primer for makeup,...

    No. Glycerin makes my skin drier, the way hyaluaronic acid does. Glycerin is a syrupy liquid that is chemically produced by combining water and fat. It is used as a solvent! Unless the humidity...

    Excellent moisturiser or humectant (attracts moisture to itself). Great added to water in a spray bottle for a face, hair and body mist in winter.
