So for the last little while i've been stealing my grandmothers prescription skin cream because it said it was 'extra strength' (ie collaganmaxx)
But then after another while, i was wondering, is this even the right thing to do??
I was checking ingredients and they are as follows:
Active ingredients: Isopropyl Myristate 15% w/w, Liquid Paraffin 15% w/w
So essentially, alcohol and wax??
So then i checked my regular cheap skin cream and the first three ingredients were:
Petroleum, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate
So also, oil, filler and alcohol.

Petroleum and Paraffin wax are known as "occlusive" agents—meaning they seal off the skin from air, water or anything else getting in (or out). You may be thinking that your skin is feeling 'wetter' or more 'moist', but in fact this is an illusion, there is only a barrier creating on top of the already dry skin, nothing is being penetrated, kinda like the experience of .co
