## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.

- Plant-derived squalane protected human dermal fibroblasts against UVA-induced damage by counteracting ROS formation, suppressing apoptosis-related proteins p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and PARP, and restoring the pro-survival p-Akt/mTOR pathway. ([Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40722956/))

## What reviewers say

This mask is highly regarded for its ability to deeply hydrate and soothe dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin, with users frequently reporting instant relief from redness and restored suppleness.

## How to apply

- Use your creamy mask PM routine once a week to start, then increase frequency if your normal skin feels good. Always remember to wear SPF during the day to protect your skin.
- Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning, and before your usual moisturizer. This helps lock in all the good ingredients for your skin.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your face while avoiding the eye area. Do not rub it in harshly.
- Apply the creamy mask on dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and can handle active ingredients well. Let it sit for the recommended time before rinsing or patting in.
- Always do a patch test before your first use to check for any allergic reactions. Avoid mixing this mask with strong acids in the exact same routine.

### What does Glycerin do for skin with dark spots?

Grape seed oil helps make dark spots less noticeable by reducing excess pigment and balancing oil production. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may also improve skin moisture and elasticity.
