Humectant, Emollient and Occlusive: Decoding Your Moisturizer LabelWhat you need to know about the different types of moisturizers and how to use them |
Vitamin B5 is another humectant that's been growing in popularity lately. You'll notice it's the hero ingredient of this popular Drunk Elephant serum, which also uses emollient pineapple ceramides to help increase your skin's moisture retention. You've probably also noticed that it's often used in conjunction with hyaluronic acid, as in the Glossier Super Bounce Serum and the SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel.
