A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

My current favorite cleanser !!! In spite of many (potentially) irritating ingredients, this product really healed my acne prone skin <333. My first impression on this was the herbal and gentle smell of rosemary which was divine, I am actually obsessed with the scent of this cleanser 😭. Secondly, it cleanses your face so well, leaving it soft and hydrated without feeling like your face has been Show more

Tried this randomly because of a sample freebie, it exceeded my expectations.

I had a very angry pimple on my chin when I tried this, and the very next day it dried out. I believe this cleanser helped.

My skin fluctuates, but I lean more on the dry side. And this doesn't dry me even more. I love the smell, and I think this product is underrated!
