30% glycerin serum hydrates dry, dehydrated skin without heaviness; sticky texture.

What the community says

A hydrating serum with a massive glycerin punch best used on damp skin for dry and dehydrated types. It layers well under makeup and moisturizers but feels sticky or tacky until sealed. Not ideal for those who dislike sticky textures.

What people love

  • 30% glycerin level delivers intense hydration without weighing skin down
  • Compatible with makeup and sunscreen; enhances layering in routines
  • Improves moisture barrier function and supports dry, tretinoin-using skin

Watch out for

  • Sticky/tacky feel makes it a no-go for users sensitive to texture
  • May accentuate fine lines in some users due to heavy humectant content
  • Users with dehydration should layer carefully to avoid feeling heavy

My holy grail hydrating serum is Experiment beauty’s super saturated, which has 30% glycerine.

Positive

I’ve been through 7 bottles of the stuff!

Tried swapping it out for Experiment's Super Saturated Serum, but it just wasn't the same at all!

Cautionary

Had to add the snail mucin essence back in because the other serum was more nourishing than hydrating!

Cautionary

Together they work really well though!
