Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

Did not deliver
I have eczema-contact, atopic, and seborrhaic dermatitis. I also have melasma around my lips, on my cheeks, forehead, and around my eyebrows. I also have hormonal and fungal acne outbreaks periodically. I am also over 30 and starting to exhibit some signs of aging, specifically fine lines, bags, and discoloration on my forehead and around my eyes and mouth. I have used a number of different vitamin C serums including Tru skin’s and Klairs Juicy drop and have done a lot of research trying to find one that was gentle enough for my hypersensitive, eczema riddled skin but also effective. Unfortunately, although this serum had many positive reviews, I saw very little improvement with my melasma, fine lines or occasional flare ups of acne after using an entire bottle, twice per day-once in the morning and once at night. It smells nice, and it leaves a sticky sheen, which could be construed as a glow, upon application. I really wanted to love this product so I am quite disappointed with its performance and will not be repurchasing.
