Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

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.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

I used this product consistently for 3 weeks and now only occasionally. It did cause minor breakouts sometimes, likely due to bacteria (we’re talking about one small pimple every 3rd day or so, which disappeared just as quickly). This is somewhat expected with propolis-based products that form a protective layer on the skin, similar to silicone (but without clogging pores). If bacteria are present Show more

Been using every night for 3 years straight, there’s never been any issues with this product. It helps with keeping my skin clear and isn’t at all stripping. It foams up quickly and feels refreshing on the skin. I’ve tried double cleansing and not double cleansing (on days without makeup) while using this face wash, there’s not really a difference. I really love products with green tea or matcha, Show more

So far, this is one of my favorite cleansers. There’s something oddly satisfying about watching the foam form on your skin after application - it turns a basic step into a little self-care moment. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean, and not stripped - just the right balance.
And it smells wonderful! ♥️

That said, don’t let the name „30 Days Miracle“ fool you. I didn’t notice any Show more
