Glycerin works by drawing water from the air and making it available to the outer layer of your skin. If you look on skin care ingredient lists, glycerin comes up a lot.&nbsp; It can be used with more occlusive ingredients too, to help the skin retain moisture by preventing water loss.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/what-is-hyaluronic-acid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what is hyaluronic acid<\/a>?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When considering glycerin vs hyaluronic acid, it\u2019s important to know the similarities and differences to choose what\u2019s best for your skin at any given time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_glycerin\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of glycerin&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moisture-attracting glycerin is a star ingredient for soothing and moisturizing creating smoother, more comfortable skin. Glycerin is used to hydrate the outer layer of the skin and by its nature of being semi-occlusive may improve the skin\u2019s ability to retain water. In this way, it may also help provide protection against various skin irritants, in addition to helping speed up the wound-healing process. It replenishes and restores skin so that the natural moisture barrier is strengthened and revitalized. Glycerin also has benefits of softening the skin to improve overall texture. Scaly skin and even psoriasis have been known to be soothed by glycerin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hyaluronic_acid_benefits\"><\/span><strong>Hyaluronic acid benefits&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hyaluronic acid is an absolute hero for hydration! It is a naturally occurring humectant that draws moisture from its surroundings. Applying HA is like letting your skin have a restorative, super hydrating drink of water. Hyaluronic acid has immediate benefits for the skin and also support skincare products to be layered more effectively. It essentially preps skin to better receive the ingredients that follow. Hyaluronic acid helps skin achieve its self-repairing potential, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Glycerin_vs_hyaluronic_acid_%E2%80%93_do_you_really_need_to_choose\"><\/span><strong>Glycerin vs hyaluronic acid &#8211; do you really need to choose?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are benefits to both ingredients individually, and you may find you have a preference of one over the other sometimes. Examine your usual skin type and needs and note how using glycerin and hyaluronic acid together or apart will have unique qualities. There\u2019s no need to choose one over the other if both serve your skin well, and it is often recommended to use both together. Hyaluronic acid retains moisture on the surface of the skin, while glycerin has the ability to pull moisture deep from the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_questions_about_glycerin_hyaluronic_acid\"><\/span><strong>Common questions about glycerin &amp; hyaluronic acid&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot of questions and conversations buzzing around in regard to the difference between glycerin and hyaluronic acid, and how to know when to use each one.

To lock in hydration you have, hyaluronic acid is the best go-to. HA is more likely to stop dry skin from getting worse, making it a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/concern\/c\/dry-skin\">dry skin treatment<\/a>, while glycerin adds moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBoth glycerin and hyaluronic acid are effective humectants that hydrate the skin and keep the skin looking smooth and plump,\u201d notes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michelegreenmd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr. Michele Green<\/a>. \u201cHowever, glycerin can be better in some instances. When compared to hyaluronic acid, glycerin is made up of smaller molecules. These smaller molecules can penetrate the skin barrier and more deeply hydrate your skin down to the dermis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_use_glycerin_instead_of_hyaluronic_acid\"><\/span><strong>Can I use glycerin instead of hyaluronic acid?&nbsp;<\/strong> &nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s always up to your skin to see how to build up your moisturizing routine.&nbsp;It depends on the results you want and It\u2019s always up to your skin to see how to build up your moisturizing routine and decide how you want to use glycerin in your skin care routine. It depends on the results you want and finding the moisturizing formulas that suit lifestyle and texture preferences. Both glycerin and hyaluronic acid are humectants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Else_Can_I_Use_Instead_of_Hyaluronic_Acid\"><\/span><strong>What Else Can I Use Instead of Hyaluronic Acid?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t want to use hyaluronic acid or glycerin but want something that provides similar benefits, Dr. Green says that polyglutamic acid and beta-glucan have the same benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Glycerin_contain_Hyaluronic_Acid\"><\/span><strong>Does Glycerin contain Hyaluronic Acid?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, Glycerin does not contain Hyaluronic Acid. Glycerin is actually an alcohol, and can be derived from animal pNo, glycerin does not contain hyaluronic acid. Glycerin is actually an alcohol, and can be derived from animal products, plants or petroleum. Vegetable glycerin is a variant that is made from plant oils.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Glycerin_Dry_Out_Skin\"><\/span><strong>Can Glycerin Dry Out Skin?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, glycerin can dry out the skin in low humidity conditions. \u201cSince glycerin is a humectant, it draws water from its environment,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cIn low humidity conditions, there is little water in the air, and the nearest source of water is from the deeper layers of the skin. This will cause your skin to become dehydrated and can cause irritation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_glycerin_a_good_moisturizer\"><\/span><strong>Is glycerin a good moisturizer?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, glycerin is known to be a moisturizing agent due to its ability to draw out moisture from the deep layers of the skin and also from the air. It\u2019s a common ingredient listed in many moisturizing skin care products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_use_glycerin_or_hyaluronic_acid_first\"><\/span><strong>Should I use glycerin or hyaluronic acid first?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hyaluronic acid can be found in hydrating serums and moisturizers, and can be used in the form of a topical treatment (applied directly on skin), a supplement or through injections. Topical applications, like through a serum, are less invasive and deliver immediate visible results. It can take much longer to see visible results from supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glycerin is found in moisturizers, masks, cleansers, facial sprays, essences, and serums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of hyaluronic acid as a base that locks in any moisturizing ingredient that follows. Apply your HA, then always follow with moisturizers (like glycerin) that you want to sink into your skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Leave_Glycerin_On_Your_Face\"><\/span><strong>Can You Leave Glycerin On Your Face?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can leave glycerin on your face. \u201cIn fact, glycerin is one of the most commonly found ingredients in skin care and is widely used in facial creams and cleansers,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cBut if you live in a low humidity climate, ingredients like glycerin and other humectants may not be ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_mix_the_two_ingredients\"><\/span><strong>Can I mix the two ingredients?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/active-hydration-serum\/p\/ENHEFG1\">glycerin and hyaluronic acid serum<\/a> are commonly used together! Here\u2019s why. The science is important here. Glycerin is a small molecule that is capable of absorbing at the skin\u2019s surface. Conversely, hyaluronic acid is a very large molecule that sits on top of the skin when applied, creating a hydrating cushion. Combining both glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid provides a superior capacity for binding water and boosting your skin\u2019s hydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To conclude, Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid are amazing skin care ingredients that bind water and boost hydration levels in your skin. Embrace that dewy, hydrated, moisturized effect that these two ingredients provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which should you be using?
