Can this product be used as skin moisturizer? Thank you.

I think so. Food grade glycerin is 99.7% pure. My understanding is you can use food grade for cosmetic purposes but not the other way around.

Food grade glycerin could be used for the skin, but many pharmacies carry glycerin that is not food safe but safe to use on skin and may be more suited to your needs. If it is not stocked on the shelves ask at pharmacy counter because it may need to be special ordered.

This Glycerin is labeled as food grade for cakes and frostings, etc. You can get Glycerin labeled as a skin protectant. That's the kind you are looking for. I think Rite Aid has their own generic version.

I use this product everyday and love it. It works as a moisturizer for me, I put this product on in the morning and that's all I use under my makeup. I am sure everyone's skin responds differently but it is certainly worth a try.

I use it as a moisturizer as per my dermatologists instructions. You just wash your face with whatever you usually would bit absorbs well and isn't greasy.

Yes! I apply the moisturizer when my skin is damp and it drys perfectly smooth. I have oily skin so it works very well for me. Love it!!!

Yes, I think you can use it for your face and body. However, as a woman I prefer something more hydrating for both my face and body. This lotion feels more like a sun block than lotion with lower SPF.

I use it as you would lotion and facial moisturizer. My skin is dry, this work much better than lotion and expensive creams. You can also use it for cooking.

No! This would be terrible is you are asking to use as a night cream. It's not anything that nourishes your skin, it fils in and smooths fine lines and wrinkles. It goes under makeup. It's not a skin care regimen.

I use this product as a nightly moisturizer. I add a drop or two to my forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. Seems to clear up a lot of my textural issues and leaves the skin glowing!!!

I think it would be too oily. I use just a little bit in my bathwater, which helps my dry skin. I did try it once as a face cleanser, but it didn't work nearly as well as what I was using.

I would say it's totally ok to use as a daily moisturizer. A little goes a long way too!

You could but it would be a waste of money. The AM moisturizer is intended as a facial moisturizer. Get some cheaper moisturizer for your body (and some body sunscreen).

I only use as a body lotion after bath. Not sure you can use it on the face.

Yes, it can be used for face and body. It's especially a good lotion for the face as it doesn't leave you feeling greasy.

Yes you can use it. It will work best for you if your skin if it tends to be on the more oily side since this is a gel formula. If your skin tends to be more dry then you might want to consider a creamier moisturizer.

I would not recommend using it as a moisturizer. I use this as my my hair-gel because it dries up but is sticky enough to style my hair the way I want. Due to its dry/sticky nature, it will not be a good moisturizer at all but it makes for an AMAZING all natural (no chemicals) hair-gel :)

Yes, I use it for moisturizing my skin. Just like UBizz said the scent is very light and you need no more than a palm size.

Yes, but honestly I think the product is a waste of money... I didn't see any difference... Regular moisturizers by Olay would do just as well!
