Dry Skin & Hydration,Dull Skin & Radiance
Turn up your complexion’s radiance with this skin-smoothing facial wash. This glow-boosting exfoliator shares the same blend of nourishing oils and waxes as Elemis's bestselling Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, as well as its much-loved, spa-like aromatic, featuring notes of lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus. Spherical exfoliating cellulose beads sourced from spruce trees – a non-plastic alternative to microbeads – sweep away dead or dull skin cells, whilst starflower, elderberry and optimega oils leave skin feeling soft, smooth and deeply cleansed. This gentle exfoliator is the perfect prep for the rest of your routine, or for flawless makeup application.
Gently massage in circular motions onto slightly damp skin. Rinse off with warm water.

Clinics in Dermatology, 2012 · systematic-review
Review of how moisturizers affect the epidermal barrier: humectants such as glycerin increase stratum corneum hydration and can strengthen barrier function and resistance to irritation, although effects depend on formulation and some moisturizers may weaken the barrier; supports well-formulated glycerin-containing emollients for dry, barrier-impaired skin.
British Journal of Dermatology, 2008 · systematic-review
Review establishing glycerin as the gold standard humectant: attracts water to stratum corneum via hydrogen bonding, improves skin mechanical properties (elasticity, pliability), enhances desmosome degradation for smooth desquamation, and modulates aquaporin-3 channels; effective at 2-20% in topical formulations
Dermatologic Therapy, 2004 · systematic-review
Comprehensive review of moisturization mechanisms: glycerin contributes to corneocyte hydration by replacing lost natural moisturizing factor (NMF) components; maintains stratum corneum fluidity at low humidity; superior humectant performance vs propylene glycol, sorbitol, and urea in controlled comparisons
