# Propanediol

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/propanediol

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the Netherlands.

Topical propanediol draws lasting moisture into the skin while gently calming excess oil and blemishes. It suits both dry and oily skin types particularly well when applied in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum). Because this ingredient layers easily, it fits smoothly into any daily skincare routine.

## Questions and answers

### What does propanediol do for the skin?

Propanediol helps increase skin hydration and reduces moisture loss, while combinations with ingredients like glycerol, xylitol, and caprylic acid may also decrease skin oiliness and reduce acne lesions.

[International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/) [Molecules, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34771112/)

### How do you use propanediol?

Propanediol is applied topically to increase skin hydration and reduce [water](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/water) loss, and it may be used alone or combined with ingredients like glycerol for enhanced moisture.

[International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/)

### Should you use propanediol in the morning or at night?

Propanediol can be used both morning and night because it helps increase skin hydration and reduce water loss.

[International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/)

### Can you use propanediol every day?

Yes, you can use propanediol every day as it helps increase skin hydration and supports skin barrier function. Topical application is well-tolerated and provides continuous moisture benefits over time.

[International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/) [Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29465392/)

### Does propanediol cause purging or irritation?

Propanediol is unlikely to cause purging. It helps increase skin hydration and is generally well tolerated.

[International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/)

### Which skin types is propanediol best for?

Propanediol helps all skin types, with superior fits for dry skin in EPICUTIS lipid [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum) and The Ordinary [Mandelic Acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/mandelic-acid) 10% + HA, and for dry sensitive skin in EPICUTIS lipid serum.
