Do you have an anti-aging routine? Many of us are focused on using skin care products that are going to assist in preventing signs of aging from showing up on the surface of our skin. It’s the reason the anti-aging realm of the skin care world continues to grow at an accelerated rate. There are countless different types of anti-aging products available, with even more variety of ingredients used in those different products. Humectants have been getting quite a lot of attention lately, so we thought we would discuss synthetic humectants for your anti-aging routine to give you a little more information about them.
If you’re not familiar with the term humectants, let’s start by first talking about what they are before we dive into the other details. Humectants are commonly used in skin care products because of their ability to draw moisture to the surface of the skin. They’re often used because they draw moisture to the surface from the lower levels of your skin. Moisture is a huge asset in skin care, especially when your focus is on anti-aging. When our skin lacks enough moisture in the surface, it tends to show signs of aging much more prominently.
Synthetic humectants have been growing in usage among the skin care world because they’re often much less expensive to use than natural forms of humectants. Much like any other synthetic version of an ingredient, synthetic humectants are formulated in a way that’s said to help them function just like the natural forms. In the case of humectants, they’re formulated to help add more moisture to the surface of the skin to assist with fighting signs of aging.
There are a few commonly used synthetic humectants that we’ve noticed among the industry. Propylene glycol, silicone, urea are among some of those synthetic forms of humectants used in these types of products. They’re all formulated to help with that moisture and hydration in the skin, as well as claiming to assist in creating a much softer look at feel to your skin’s surface. All of these sound great, especially when your main focus in your skin care routine is to fight aging.
All in all, there’s a reason that humectants are so commonly used in anti-aging products-they yield great results. One of the things to consider with synthetic forms of any type of ingredient used in skin care is the quality of them. This really rings true to any skin care products, but we urge you to do your research even more when it comes to synthetic ingredients. Some experts argue that synthetic versions of humectants aren’t effective in the long term effect, but it’s really up to you to decide the best option for yourself. The great part about synthetic humectants is that they’re able to provide similar results to the natural version at a fraction of the price.
Do you think you would try synthetic humectants in your anti-aging routine?

Thank you for this awesome & generous giveaway ! I really hope I’ll be a lucky One because I’ve never had the chance to use one of your products but from what I’ve read, they’re just too amazing and sooo good for the skin ! And mine definitely need for my neck & face, after all, a little lift never hurt anyone 😉
I would love to try and see how I can look younger with your products. Being 55 I sure could use a little extra help with maintaing my youthfulness.
I would try synthetic humectants, though I would do a little research because I’ve been trying to pay more attention to the chemicals I use in my skin care and make up. I was alarmed to learn all the ingredients that are banned in Europe that we still use freely here in the US. Luckily though we do have the internet at our disposal and can always do a little research and make an informed decision that pleases our skin and our pocket books.
My friend would enjoy this, she’s always been good to my family
I would be thrilled to death to win this. I need it.
I would love to win your products! They sound amazing and just what I need!
I try to follow a anti aging routine, I buy products and have a drawer full to show for it but I fall into that category of being lazy putting them on – I think this gift being a set would make it easy for me!
I am all about moisturizing my skin and this sounds like a fantastic way to help keep my skin looking younger by using synthetic humectants as a way to retain moisture. I would love to win this! Thank you for the chance Lionesse.

I’ve never heard of synthetic humectants before! Thank you very much for telling us about them. These products sound AMAZING!!
Anti-aging routine hitting even me( Thanks!
This would be a treat to try. Reading about synthetic humectants leaves me thinking my skin would need all the hydration possible in skin care. With that being said, cost is cheaper for this so with the cost of this. I would surely be purchasing a product made to work. Love to see that on my face 😉
I would love to win and try this!!
This looks fabulous!!!!!
Great review. I would love to try this product, my aging skin need help.
nice
Great review,i would love to try your product.
This is a excellent product. I would love to try it.
I think, as with any synthetic ingredient, I would research each humectant before I would decide whether or not it was appropriate for my skincare routine. Thanks for explaining why synthetics are used and naming some of the most common synthetic humectants.
My skin sure could use some TLC with amazing Lionesse products! Thanks so much for the chance!
I need a item to add to my skin care regime! Let me win!

tweet button dows not work corrwxtly
I would put cow poo on my face if it helped me not age so quickly, so absolutely YES, I would be open to try synthetic humectants in my anti-aging routine. If Lionesse makes them, I have no doubt they are top notch! Just like the diamond face and neck lift cream. People’s necks always reveal their true age, so before I have to go out and buy a bunch of scarves, I would so love to win the giveaway for the Diamond and Sapphire Lift Cream. Until then, I will continue to read your articles on how to keep my skin as radiant as possible for as long as possible! Thanks Lionesse for always keeping me posted on the latest and greatest in skin care needs.
Great blog post! Really enjoyed reading about the product and effects!

My skin needs this.
products look amazing!
I’ve heard good things about this brand. Too bad I can afford to buy outight- just have to hope I can win. Need more input on humectants.
Sounds Great! Just what I need!
Yes, I would try synthetic humectants in my skin care. I’ve always had oily, thick skin, so I never thought much about needing moisturizers. I also somewhat avoided most moisturizing products because I was trying to keep my pores small–and I accomplished that mostly by using clay masks almost daily. I also avoided a lot of aging by staying out of the sun. Anyway, I am constantly trying to learn all I can to look the best I can now that I’m 53. This article was very informative and I will remember the points made as I go forward from here. Thank you.
I’d use them; as long as something is safe for myself, others and the environment then it’s results that count.
I need this desperately. I am 58 and religiously maintain a facial d to purchase routine.I have tried many products over the years. Not very effective. I hope to win so I may try Lionesse’s line. I cannot afford them otherwise.
I love the White Pearl products! The filler is amazing!
Yes, I would love to try this product.
Great products but never tried

Humectants? Very interesting! Sure would like a chance to try it.
I have recently lost 50kg and my face and neck really need your help. I now look older than my 58 years and feel worse about myself than I did when I was fat.

I am a firm believer that by taking good care of your skin and using anti-aging products you can keep age from taking a toll on your face. I am always looking for a new product to try.
Yes, I would try synthetic humectants if it truly helped my skin, why not.

Not sure I totally understand but the products sound so good great review
Thank you for the very helpful information on synthetics- the actual ingredient names. As mentioned, the market is flooded with products and in trying to find the best for me I’ve been reading the listed ingredients on the packaging. Not knowing if half of them are actually good & needed makes good choices difficult. Love to learn as much as I can!
Yes, I would try synthetics as long as they work and especially being more affordable.
