The plant-derived alternative to propylene glycol

Propanediol does three jobs at once. It holds water at the skin's surface, it dissolves ingredients that would otherwise sit undissolved, and it thins a formula just enough to glide. Because it is fermented from corn sugar rather than refined from petroleum, brands reformulating away from propylene glycol tend to reach for it first.

Revision Skincare uses it heavily, and it appears in DEJ Eye Cream, DEJ Daily Boosting Serum and Nectifirm Advanced. It also shows up in Alastin Skincare Restorative Skin Complex and SkinBetter Science Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum.

Does propanediol clog pores?

It is water-loving rather than oil-based, leaves no film behind, and is generally considered non-comedogenic. That is part of why it turns up so often in lightweight serums and gel textures aimed at oilier skin.

“I LOVE this eye cream. I have tried so many eye creams and they usually either irritate my skin or just don’t do anything for me. This has given me almost immediate results without any irritation....”
