additional info

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer is also known as Lubrajel and is used in various skincare products such as serums, masks, and creams. Lubrajel™ Oil is a water-soluble clear gel that is an emollient matrix that imparts excellent lubricity and provides skin care products with superb spreadability. It is used for moisturization and emulsion stabilization. It is also used in DD’ell Extra Vitalizing Serum, which is marketed as an intensive brightening and anti-aging product for all ages and skin types. The serum is a milky, slippy liquid with a clean, pleasant, and fairly neutral soap-and-flowers fragrance. It spreads easily over skin and absorbs relatively quickly, even with a bunch of products already layered on underneath. However, some users have reported that the dropper design of the bottle makes it difficult to dispense the product. Gillette Skin Shave Gel contains Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer as one of its ingredients. The product is marketed as an Ultra Sensitive gel, but it has a strong peppermint scent that some users find unpleasant. It also leaves the skin feeling tight after shaving. Torriden Dive-In Serum contains Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer as one of its ingredients. The serum is marketed as an instant and intense moisture treatment for dry skin. It is a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly and leaves a dewy finish. The serum also contains 5D multi-hyaluronic acid complex, which helps to replenish and lock moisture within deep skin layers.
