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: Smoothing

Niacinamide has emerged as an all-star ingredient due to its many benefits.

It is known to treat acne by reducing inflammation. It also helps fade dark-spots and strengthen the skin by promoting the growth of the ceramide barrier.

Other benefits include smoothing wrinkles and minimizing redness.

The cherry on top? Niacinamide can also help build keratin, a protein that keeps skin firm.

When incorporating niacinamide into your routine, look out for concentration amounts. Typically, 5% niacinamide provides benefits such as fading dark spots. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is better to begin with a smaller concentration.

Niacinamide can be mixed with other ingredients to boost benefits. For instance, it has shown to be effective when used with copper, folic acid, and zinc to treat acne.

Adds a level of plumpness to my skin that’s unattainable without it. The way my skin just feels so full after this, it’s hard to describe but without this toner it really feels like it lacks luster. I layer this on top of a soothing light toner and it absorbs into the skin so perfectly, it has a thicker milky texture and makes your skin feel full, the reason why I prefer it to I’m rice milk toner is because this one includes peptides and ceramides and hyaluronic acid which is probably why it feels so filling to the skin (because of the increased collagen and skin barrier building affect it has on it) It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and plump all day, just like rice. I really love it and recommend it. I was given the sample bottle which was 20mls, that lasted me an entire month while using it twice a day for the full face. I now have the 150ml version and I think it will last an estimation of 7-8 months. I really recommend it (after your own research of course!)
