What Is Glycerin in Skincare?

Glycerin is a humectant commonly used in skincare to attract moisture and help keep the skin hydrated.

It is found in many product types, including cleansers, moisturisers, masks and SPF, making it easy to include in both morning and evening routines.

What Does Glycerin Help With?

Glycerin skincare can help support:

• Hydration and moisture retention
• Softer, smoother-feeling skin
• Skin-barrier comfort
• Dry or tight-feeling complexions
• A more comfortable cleansing routine
• Hydration for the lips and delicate areas

How to Choose a Glycerin Product ?

For gentle cleansing: Choose a cleanser containing glycerin to help remove daily impurities without leaving the skin feeling overly stripped. Explore Medik8 Calmwise Soothing Cleanser for a gentle cleansing option.

For daily moisture: Look for a moisturiser that combines glycerin with other hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients.

For dry lips: A glycerin-containing lip balm can help support softness and comfort. Discover Medik8 Mutiny Lip Balm.

For an occasional hydration boost: Choose a moisturising mask suited to your skin type and routine.

For dry or dehydrated, explore our Dry and Dehydrated Skin collection.

How to Use Glycerin Skincare ?

Use each product according to its individual instructions. Cleansers are used at the beginning of the routine, while moisturisers, masks and lip treatments are applied later.

Glycerin can be used in both morning and evening skincare. During the daytime, complete your routine with a suitable broad-spectrum SPF.
