Glycerin is a powerhouse ingredient that can really benefit your skin in a number of ways, and yet...I've not spoken about it once (that's my bad...).

When formulating the Take Five® Facial Cleanser back in 2021, I wanted to use ingredients that would help the skin in the best way possible, and Glycerin was an ingredient that caught my eye for so many different reasons.

On today's blog, I want to talk about Glycerin, and the benefits that it can have when used in skincare:

Thoroughly Removes Dirt & Impurities

This was definitely one of the main reasons as to why the Take Five® cleanser contains Glycerin - it helps to gently yet thoroughly remove dirt, oils and impurities from the skin.

💦 Humectant

Glycerin is also a humectant. A humectant pulls water into the skin, and helps the skin to retain moisture, which is what helps to leave your face feeling soft and hydrated after every wash.

Glycerin is Non-comedogenic

Non-comedogenic means that an ingredient does not clog the pores. Glycerin is a non-comedogenic ingredient, so not only will it help to gently remove dirt and impurities, but it won't clog your pores.

Doesn't Strip the Skin

Glycerin is also a key ingredient in the Take Five® Facial Cleanser because it works with the cleanser to prevent your natural oils from being stripped during the cleansing phase. Glycerin ensures that your natural oils aren't stripped, retains moisture and leaves the skin feeling soft.

The key benefits of Glycerin:

To recap, the key benefits of Glycerin are:

• Thoroughly removes dirt, oils and impurities without drying out the skin
• Glycerin is a humectant, so it retains moisture and pulls water into the skin
• Non-comedogenic, meaning it will not clog the pores
• Prevents natural oils being stripped during the cleansing phase

With over 400 5-star reviews and a 99% 5-star rating, it's clear that so many people are enjoying the way the cleanser is leaving their skin. Glycerin is one of the key ingredients that is making that possible!
