@Rikki - I went to their website and can't tell a thing about them.. so you need to tell me what active ingredients they are using for acne. Then I can give you an opinion.

Private label with Vitelle Labs.  The company I work for has private labeled their brand through them.  They have products for anti-aging, acne, dry, oily etc.  What are your thoughts on them?

Hi Rikki - glycerin is fine for acne - it is a humectant which attracts water to it (hence the sliminess).  It is used in water-based hydrators which is great to use under bpo when the skin starts to get dry. (oil-based moisturizers will stop the bpo from working).   As far as where it is in an ingredient deck, that doesn't matter as much as what the percentage (and pH) of the active ingredients are in the formulation.  What acne products are you speaking of?

Comment by Rikki Field on December 30, 2011 at 2:18pm

Is glycerin (vegetable based) good or bad for acneic skin?  Is it better in some products than others - say Cleanser vs. Serum?

I've seen it listed in many acne products within the first 5 ingredients on the label.  If it's in a serum I find it makes the serum feel slimy.  Wouldn't we rather have more active ingredients at the top of the list? Especially if the wholesale price is $45-50?

I've read both good and bad reports on Glycerin and acne and am looking forward to hearing from Laura and others on this board.

Thanks for sharing your expertise and Happy New Year!

@ Laura: The extractor you use from Cosmopro would that be the one by Cricket or Spilo? I was on the site but could not find one that reads 0-00.
