Since I hate the hassle of applying multiple products, I've spent what feels like forever searching for that one miracle cream. I wanted something with balanced hydration and oil content, something that would tackle deep dehydration while keeping moisture locked in for hours. But no matter what I tried, nothing truly satisfied me, and I still hadn't found a cream that could really solve my internal dryness. Then recently, I discovered something game-changing: using just a few hydrating essences made such a difference that my skin stayed comfortable without needing a heavy moisturizer or cream at all. I realized firsthand how crucial proper hydration layering is as a foundation. Now instead of obsessing over finding the perfect cream, I'm focusing more on hydrating and trouble-fighting essences. It was honestly hard to break free from the belief that only thick, rich creams could provide real moisture. But once I started essence layering, it felt like entering a completely new world! I still can't believe that without doing the full 7-skin method, without any cream at all, I can achieve this level of hydration and maintain it using just essences! The real MVP in my essence layering routine is glycerin—that ingredient you see in almost every hydrating product. To get additional benefits from different essences, I layer in panthenol, hyaluronic acid, and ceramide essences depending on what my skin needs that day, giving it extra hydration and nourishment when needed. My Skin Profile: Severely dry skin plus ongoing trouble-prone skin that cycles through random breakouts here and there—it's an endless loop. Ingredients That Don't Work for Me: Polysaccharides, Vitamin E (tocopherol, soy extract), coconut extract, coconut oil and other oils, comedogenic ingredients Comedogenic Ingredients (can clog pores when used in high amounts): caprylic acid, stearic acid, glyceryl stearate, shea butter, coconut oil, propylene glycol, triglycerides, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl linoleate, myristyl myristate, lanolin, lauryl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, petrolatum, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, almond oil, peach kernel oil Polysaccharides: beta-glucan, glucose, fructose, trehalose, sucrose, xylitol, xylityl glucoside, fructooligosaccharide, glycolic acid, sugar cane extract, and more If I develop breakouts while using a product, I need to identify which ingredient isn't compatible with my skin. (Note: The following is based on my personal experience and research. These are my individual opinions and findings, not scientifically proven facts, so please take this as reference only.) (I don't use all these products at once every day—I adjust based on what my skin needs.) Essences are applied after toner, either alone or mixed into a hydrating cream. When treating breakouts, I avoid oils as much as possible. Acne treatments go on last. Cleansing: • Calendula Cleansing Oil (soothing, gentle) • Weakly Acidic Cleansing Foam (maintains skin's natural pH, gentle, prevents folliculitis) Toner: • Calendula (soothing) • Centella (anti-inflammatory, calming) • Salicylic Acid Toner Spray (BHA, exfoliates dead skin) - Be careful not to overuse as it can enlarge pores Hydrating Essences: • Glycerin (surface and deep hydration, creates moisture barrier, quite sticky) • D-Panthenol (deep hydration, moderately sticky) • Hyaluronic Acid (deep hydration, moisture-binding, reduces inflammation) Hydrating Cream: • Aloe Vera Leaf Juice Hydrating Gel or Dr. Jart+ Red Blemish Soothing Cream When I use just the hydrating gel, it evaporates immediately and my skin feels tight. But when I layer hydrating essences properly before applying the cream, there's no tightness. Especially when I mix in two drops of glycerin, I don't even need the cream! Acne Treatment: • Centella Extract (skin calming) • Centella Asiatica (centella extract—madecassoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid, asiaticoside) • Zinc Oxide (improves acne discoloration, can cause dryness, provides sun protection) • Tea Tree Oil (pure oil is very irritating, direct application can burn skin, use with extreme caution in tiny amounts) • Sulfur (penetrates and kills acne bacteria, can irritate, be careful with silver jewelry as it may tarnish) • Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% / 10% (eliminates acne bacteria, very irritating, apply only to affected areas, causes intense stinging followed by severe flaking after 2 days and prevents makeup application, but skin regenerates beautifully after flaking stops—the journey is rough though) • Tamanu Oil (effective for discoloration, treats acne, kills acne bacteria, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, rich fatty acids support skin regeneration, heals wounds, strengthens barrier, provides sun protection—buy 100% unrefined with no green tint, may not work for everyone) Oil Use Caution: If you have oily or combination skin, using oils can trigger excess sebum production leading to milia and breakouts, so be very careful with amounts. (I don't tolerate oily products well either, except for tamanu oil.) Personal Note: I tend to be impatient, so when breakouts appear, I aggressively treat them with harsh products like benzoyl peroxide or sulfur to eliminate bacteria quickly and speed up flaking and skin regeneration. But please don't copy this approach without caution—you could seriously damage your skin and end up needing a dermatologist visit. (In my case, this method cleared a severe cystic pimple in one week plus eliminated scarring in another week—normally it takes 2-4 weeks or longer, so this is exceptionally fast.) Overusing active ingredients can also trigger problems, so I recommend using everything appropriately. Wishing you all beautiful, healthy skin! Amount Control: When I first opened the glycerin, I didn't know the consistency, so I just poured it into my palm—and out came about the size of a five-cent coin (way too much!). I decided to use it anyway, and let me tell you, the stickiness was absolutely unbearable. It was like ten times stickier than your neck feels on the hottest summer day when you're sweating the most. But here's the thing—even though I used way too much by accident, after about an hour my skin absorbed it so well that the stickiness decreased and it just felt pleasantly tacky. By the next morning through afternoon, my skin felt nicely hydrated. If you transfer it to a dropper bottle, you'll have much better control over the amount. I usually mix just one or two drops into a lightweight hydrating cream! Both essence layering and glycerin do have that sticky feeling. It's lighter than a heavy cream, but if you don't have severely dry skin, or if you hate that tacky sensation from essence layering, or if you really can't handle stickiness, then this method isn't for you. And if you don't have severely dry skin, you don't need to apply it thickly enough to feel sticky. Since even one drop of glycerin creates that sticky feeling, try adjusting the amount to find what works best for your skin. But because my internal dryness is so severe, I do essence layering even with the stickiness—it fades after an hour or two anyway! On days when I mess up the amount and end up with a sticky finish, I have to be careful not to bury my face in the pillow when I sleep. All the dust from your pillowcase and bedding can stick to your skin, which can trigger breakouts. Since stickiness also attracts fine particles more easily, you really need to cleanse thoroughly both morning and night! If you nail the amount, it won't feel sticky at all. But since glycerin itself has that thick, gluey texture, you need to be careful with how much you use so you don't end up dealing with that uncomfortable sticky feeling. Layering it with other hydrating essences like panthenol works amazingly for tackling deep dehydration. That said, some people do have sensitivities to certain ingredients, so just make sure you're using what works for your individual skin.

Since it's made with plant-based organic glycerin, I don't have to worry about the ingredients at all. The bottle opening is a bit awkward to pour from, and there's a risk of it dripping down the sides. I could transfer it to another container to avoid the mess, but honestly, I can't be bothered, so I just use it as is. I mix two spoonfuls of grain mask with two spoonfuls of glycerin, squeeze in a generous amount of camellia oil, and blend it all together. Then I adjust the consistency slightly with a little water and apply it as a mask, and the results are fantastic.
jf*******Da hỗn hợpDa nhạy cảmLỗ chân lông toĐược đề xuất24/10/2018 (UTC+0)When my skin was so sensitive that I couldn't use any skincare products, the combination of rose water, glycerin, and jojoba oil was truly a lifesaver. Since I use glycerin across my scalp, body, and face, I really wanted to find a higher-quality glycerin. Organic glycerin? There was no reason not to buy it. That said, I later realized that the "organic" label doesn't really mean much since glycerin itself is a chemical ingredient and not a natural one. It's better to think of it as plant-derived glycerin extracted from coconut oil rather than truly organic. Still, knowing the source is plant-based does feel better. - Glycerin is like a fat-soluble alcohol extracted from oils. Unlike alcohol, it doesn't evaporate into the air on its own. When it meets water, it becomes thinner and loses its sticky texture, transforming into something more like water. - Plant-derived glycerin extracted from vegetable oils should be better for your skin than glycerin from petroleum oils. So when shopping, it's worth checking for plant-based glycerin. - Glycerin isn't meant to be used alone. It captures moisture, kind of like a humectant inside seaweed, so you really need to use it with hydrating products like toners. - While it's sometimes classified as a moisturizer, it doesn't have inherent moisturizing properties. Rather, it absorbs and holds water, which is why it's grouped with moisturizing ingredients. Used alone, it doesn't spread well and can actually feel tight and dry. - When mixing with toner or water, I eyeball the ratio to keep glycerin at no more than 15 percent. - Or right after showering or cleansing, while my skin is still wet, I apply toner (10) plus glycerin (1.5) plus jojoba oil (0.5) and pat it in. - I've been washing my hair with soap instead of shampoo for almost two years now, and just like I care for my skin, I massage my scalp and hair with toner, glycerin, and multi-oil. - After going silicone-free, my scalp feels better, but my hair was pretty rough and I was worried. The glycerin and multi-oil combination on wet hair is absolutely amazing. - The glycerin and petroleum jelly combination is incredible for areas like cracked heels. I just slather it on generously for amazing hydration. - I've been using NOW brand plant-based glycerin, and the usage time compared to the bottle size is incredibly long. Glycerin naturally inhibits bacterial growth, so it has a long shelf life. - Compared to NOW, Natural Tips is pricier for the amount you get, but Natural Tips has a thicker texture. - Higher purity glycerin is considered better quality, and Natural Tips seemed like it had a higher concentration of glycerin. It's not entirely clear though. - Both are great so they're not really comparable, but I use NOW on my body and scalp since the bottle size is huge, and I use Natural Tips on my face. Without glycerin, I don't think I could have managed the deep dehydration in my skin. However, I've noticed that when the glycerin ratio gets too high, my skin becomes even drier. You really need to assess your own skin's needs and adjust the glycerin ratio accordingly. I layer my routine with toner, then glycerin, then toner multiple times. I finish with jojoba oil to keep my skin in a hydrated state longer. Sometimes people have allergies to glycerin. Honestly, there's barely any skincare product without glycerin in it, so what am I supposed to use? My skin is acting up again with seasonal changes and fine dust pollution, but I'm grateful that I've found ingredients that work for me to soothe and hydrate. As winter approaches, I'm gradually increasing my oil ratio. Even oily skin needs hydration. 1 - Toner (10) plus glycerin (1.5) combination 2 - Pat toner in 3 - Toner (10) plus jojoba oil (0.5) and pat in This three-layer toner method is an amazing combination for hydration and moisture. For the face, you can substitute hyaluronic acid instead of glycerin. - ml****Da dầuDa nhạy cảmDa mụn20/01/2017 (UTC+0)
I mix this with Bulgarian rose water and the hydration is absolutely amazing! My skin stays completely clear and even though I have very sensitive skin, I absolutely love how this works for me. When you first start using it, you might find it tricky to control how much you're dispensing. If you mix too much of it in, your skin can feel sticky. I add about one-tenth glycerin to my toner bottle and then fill the rest with rose water. - ls*****Da khôDa nhạy cảm27/10/2016 (UTC+0)
I bought this for a natural mask treatment, but honestly, I can't really tell the difference between using it and not using it. Maybe I'm just not noticing the effects, but I'm not sure. The opening is quite narrow, so when I pour it out, product gets stuck around the bottle's mouth, which is pretty inconvenient. - mi********Da hỗn hợpDa nhạy cảmDa mụn09/07/2016 (UTC+0)
I love using this alongside my grain masks because it feels so hydrating and nourishing. Plus, the price is really affordable! It's perfect for when my face feels dry, and I even mix it with my emulsion sometimes for extra moisture. There's really nothing to complain about. The price is great, and honestly, I couldn't find any downsides to it. It's wonderful to apply when your skin is feeling parched and needs that extra boost of hydration. - wj*****Da trung tínhDa nhạy cảmDa mụn07/07/2016 (UTC+0)
This product feels so hydrating and gentle on my skin. It has no fragrance, and when I mix it into my homemade face masks, it gives me that lovely moisturized feeling I'm looking for. I wouldn't recommend this for oily or sensitive skin types. You really need to be careful about how much you use—if you're not precise, it can feel heavy and uncomfortable on your skin. Plus, since it comes in a bottle, it's tricky to control the amount you're dispensing. This works amazingly well on my hands and feet! I absolutely love using it during summer when my skin gets so dry, especially on my heels and the back of my feet. - du*******Da hỗn hợp23/04/2016 (UTC+0)
It has a slight tackiness that works wonderfully when applied under a hydrating moisturizer before cleansing, and during the dry autumn and winter months, I can apply it directly and do my makeup for that gorgeous dewy finish. The sticky feeling has really improved so much. There aren't really any downsides, but it does take a moment to blend in properly. At first, I struggled with getting the amount right, and it felt a bit odd being more moisturizing than expected. But once you get used to it, applying anything without this product feels incomplete.
