Both glycerine and hyaluronic acid rank high on our list of the ultimate hydration heroes 💦 but both these humectants have some key differences. If you’re still unsure about which one to pick, let us help you out. Hyaluronic acid is gentle, non-irritating, and non-sticky, making it a great choice for all skin types – especially if you have sensitive skin. Glycerine, however, can be potentially irritating to your skin along with being slightly sticky – not an issue if you have dry skin, but if your skin is oily, you may want to give it a miss. Both help you achieve soft and hydrated skin though, so it’s a win-win situation no matter which one you pick.
