What it does: Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

What it does: Buffering, Masking
Community Rating: Disliked

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and look more even.

I’ve been wanting to try Numbuzin for a while, and this cream looked like the perfect fit for my sensitive, hormonal acne prone skin. While it’s not fungal acne safe, this moisturizer doesn’t have dimethicone until the 12th ingredient, and I haven’t found any issues with it so far. I enjoy how soothing this cream is to acne, and it helps to calm my breakouts! I also find it not clogging my pores and causing more breakouts. While it won’t get rid of a breakout by itself, in use with other products or an acid, it works really well, especially in summer! My only complaint is that I wish it was a bit more hydrating, so I wouldn’t suggest it for super cold winters. I’ll be continuing to use this as my main moisturizer, unless I bump into any future irritation/breakouts caused by it.

I've gotten the recommendation from the girls of Likeskin (Insta: like_skincare) as a result of wanting a moisturizer that is suitable for acne (cheek and chin mostly), combination skin with flaky patches around nose and mouth area with (probably) a sensitivity for fatty alcohols/fatty acids. And this one HIT THE SPOT. The first moisturizer that doesn't break me out. It's quite lightweight, also doesn't give me any clogged pores and it does seem like it's calming my acne a little bit more. In combination with my other products this works amazing.
