Frequently Asked Questions

What is glycerin in skincare?
Glycerin (also known as glycerol) is a naturally derived humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment into the skin. Extracted from plant oils or animal fats, it appears as a clear, syrupy liquid that’s odourless and colourless. Glycerin is often paired with occlusives in skincare formulas, which help seal in the moisture that glycerin attracts and minimise dryness.
Is glycerin safe for all skin types?
Yes. One of the reasons it’s well-tolerated by various skin types is because it closely mimics the skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF). As we age or face environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure, our skin’s NMF levels naturally decrease, leading to dryness, irritation or a weakened barrier. Glycerin helps replenish this loss by attracting moisture and reinforcing the skin’s defences.
Does glycerin clog pores?
No, glycerin is a non-comedogenic, oil-free humectant that attracts moisture to the skin, making it ideal for oily and breakout-prone skin. It strengthens the skin barrier and keeps it hydrated without adding greasiness.
Can glycerin help dry skin?
Absolutely. As a humectant, glycerin helps draw moisture into the outer layer of the skin, boosting hydration levels where it’s needed most. For those experiencing flakiness or tightness, it can leave the skin feeling noticeably softer and more supple. Its gentle, non-irritating nature also makes it ideal for soothing areas of sensitivity or seasonal dryness.
How often should I use glycerin products?
Medik8’s glycerin face cleansers, serums, moisturisers and eye treatments are formulated for daily use. Cleansers and creams can typically be used both morning and night, while replenishing serums and targeted eye treatments are best applied in the evening to support overnight skin recovery. Always follow the usage instructions provided and stay consistent with your routine. If you're new to a product, never skip patch testing to check for sensitivity or potential irritation. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area, like the inside of your forearm or just behind the ear, and leave it on for 24 hours without washing it off. If you don’t experience any redness, itching, stinging or swelling, it’s generally safe to proceed with full application.

Daily exposure to environmental stressors like wind, low humidity, air conditioning and harsh cleansers can leave skin feeling tight, rough and irritated. Over time, this dryness can compromise your skin barrier, leading to increased sensitivity, dullness and even premature ageing.
