What is Glycerin?

Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid derived from plant oils or animal fats. It is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture from the environment into the skin, helping to keep it hydrated and supple. This natural ingredient is commonly found in a variety of skincare products, including cleansers, moisturizers, and serums.

Notably, glycerin is prized for its non-comedogenic properties, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. This means it won’t clog your pores while providing essential moisture.

Benefits of Glycerin for Acne-Prone Skin

Using glycerin on your face, especially at night, can offer multiple benefits for those struggling with pimples:

1. Hydration: Glycerin helps draw moisture into the skin, preventing dryness that can exacerbate acne.
2. Soothing Properties: It calms inflammation and redness, often associated with pimples, providing relief to irritated skin.
3. Non-Comedogenic: As mentioned, glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, which is essential for avoiding further breakouts.
4. Improved Skin Barrier: It strengthens the skin's barrier function, which helps protect against environmental aggressors and irritation.
5. Exfoliation: Glycerin has mild exfoliating properties that can help remove dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores that lead to pimples.
6. Repairing Properties: It aids in skin repair, making it beneficial for healing existing acne and preventing scarring.

How Does Glycerin Work on Pimples?

When you apply glycerin, it works on multiple levels:

• Humidity Regulation: Glycerin pulls moisture from the air and deeper skin layers, keeping your skin hydrated and reducing the likelihood of dryness and irritation.
• Barrier Function: Glycerin forms a protective layer on the skin, which helps lock in moisture and shield against pollutants and bacteria that can worsen acne.
• Cell Turnover: By keeping the skin hydrated, glycerin supports the natural process of cell turnover, encouraging the shedding of old skin cells, which can prevent clogged pores.

How to Use Glycerin on Your Face at Night

Now that we understand the benefits of glycerin, let’s look at how to effectively incorporate it into your nighttime skincare routine to target pimples.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Glycerin

1. Start with a Clean Slate:
   • Begin by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser, such as our Superfood Cleanser. This will remove any makeup, dirt, and excess oil.
   • Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
2. Dilute Glycerin:
   • While glycerin can be used in its pure form, it’s often best to dilute it to prevent any potential irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. Mix one part glycerin with two parts distilled water or rose water for added soothing benefits.
3. Application:
   • Using clean hands or a cotton pad, apply the diluted glycerin mixture evenly over your face, focusing on areas prone to pimples.
   • Gently massage it into your skin using upward and outward motions. This not only helps with absorption but also promotes circulation.
4. Allow Absorption:
   • Let the glycerin solution sit on your skin for about 15-20 minutes to allow it to absorb fully. You can also leave it on overnight for maximum hydration.
5. Follow Up with Moisturizer:
   • After the glycerin has absorbed, follow up with a lightweight moisturizer, such as our Hyaluronic Brightening Moisturizer. This will help seal in the moisture provided by glycerin and enhance its hydrating effects.

Precautions and Tips

1. Patch Test: Before using glycerin for the first time, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any adverse reactions.
2. Avoid Eye Area: Be cautious to avoid applying glycerin too close to your eyes, as it may cause irritation.
3. Use as Part of a Routine: Incorporate glycerin into a complete skincare routine that includes cleansing, treating, and moisturizing for optimal results.
4. Avoid Overuse: While glycerin is beneficial, using it excessively can lead to over-hydration, especially on oily skin. Stick to a moderate application, especially if used alongside other hydrating ingredients.
5. Monitor Your Skin’s Response: Everyone’s skin is different. If you notice any irritation or increase in breakouts, discontinue use and consult with a dermatologist.

Combining Glycerin with Other Ingredients

For added benefits, glycerin can be combined with other potent ingredients that target pimples and enhance your skincare routine:

• With Salicylic Acid: Salicylic acid is known for its acne-fighting properties. Combining glycerin with a salicylic acid serum can provide hydration while effectively treating existing breakouts.
• With Vitamin C: Our Stem Cell C Serum, rich in vitamin C, can be layered after glycerin for brightening and antioxidant benefits.
• With Retinol: If you're using retinol, consider applying glycerin beforehand to help mitigate potential dryness and irritation caused by retinol treatments. Our Liposomal Retinol Serum offers a gentle retinol option.
