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,...

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.
