Glycerin for fine lines: how to use it and what to expect

Glycerin is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Glycerin

Glycerin is a time-tested humectant that draws water into the outer skin layer.

How Glycerin helps for fine lines

Fine lines are often linked to dehydration and an early drop in collagen. Glycerin approaches the problem from a different angle: glycerin is a time-tested humectant that draws water into the outer skin layer. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for fine lines.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply glycerin to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.
