Common sugar used as a humectant or, in scrubs, as a dissolving physical exfoliant grain.

What it does

Sucrose is ordinary sugar. In skincare it holds water at the skin surface as a humectant and, in sugar scrubs, serves as a physical scrub grain that dissolves as it is massaged in. It is a hydration-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.

Also known as

table sugar
