Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

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

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

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.

So Good
Many products out there are too strong for my sensitive skin. This one has lower concentrations of useful ingredients like mandelic acid, azelaic acid, and bakuchiol in an aloe formulation that just works for me. My acne is hormonal (chin, neck, upper body - not severe but a little painful at times) and this really seems to reduce breakouts. I use it after showering and after washing my face, on its own with no other Almondclear products. I'm very grateful to have found it. Would not mind the ability to purchase a larger bottle since my back and shoulders also benefit.
