Why Glycerin Turns Up in So Many Formulas

A humectant pulls water toward the surface of the skin and helps hold it there. Glycerin does that job cheaply, reliably, and with very little risk of irritation, which is why it sits near the top of the ingredient list in cleansers, serums, and creams alike. On skin it reads as softness and a smoother surface — a reduction in the look of dryness and flaking rather than any change to the skin's structure.

Across this store it appears in the Revision Skincare C+ Correcting Complex, Revision Skincare DEJ Face Cream, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, and Revision Skincare Brightening Facial Wash. Revision Skincare, SkinCeuticals, Obagi, and Alastin Skincare all lean on it as a base hydrator.

Can glycerin be used on oily or breakout-prone skin?

Generally yes. Glycerin is water-loving rather than oily, so it hydrates without adding the heaviness that tends to bother congested skin.
