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.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Unfortunately Ahc Black tube didn't work for my dry mature skin 40+near eyes. Make my fine lines look more prominent. Other variations like Pink and Green tubes were MUCH better. Probably would work for Oily skin.

Makes my eyes blurry
Sadly I can’t tell good things about this product. I just know that every time I used, after a few hours my eyes start to get blurry and irritated. So I stopped using it.
