Thanks for the comment Lorinth. One ingredient that nearly all moisturisers contain is glycerol. I think that it doesn’t do very much for most people, but it doesn’t do any harm and for some people it is really handy. If you try Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Fragrance-Free, it is particularly high in glycerol. It is an odd one, because some people get no benefit from it whatever but others swear it is the best moisturiser around.

I think what is going on is that the skin normally contains a fair bit of glycerol and similar molecules that work to hold the moisture in the skin. If you have enough already adding more doesn’t really help. But if your skin is a bit short you can get a real improvement from adding more.

Let me know how you get on.

I would like to know which ingredient in a moisturizer is the best for a dry, sensitive skin type? I have read your interesting article about lanolin and coconut oil, and concocted a bit, but it feels as if my skin feels even drier with oil on top of it, plus it also seems as if oily things enlarges the pores around the nose area. What I would like is to add moisture first, then apply the oily substance on top to keep it in as you know oil and water don’t mix so the oil will prevent the moisture from escaping. But what exactly would that moisture element be? I’m desperate.
Thank you.
