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.

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.

This cleanser is amazing for brightening your face in the morning because it has vitamin C. I also use it in the nighttime cause it makes my skin feel refreshed. The only time I don't use this is when I am exfoliating with Bha, Aha.
It has a gel like feel and the bottle is big. If you are prone to Frangrance then you might want to be cautious.
Btw I have combo skin :)

Tried out this cleanser because I've seen good reviews on social media and love their sun screen. Unfortunately, I should've checked my compatibility with it before purchasing. Stuck with it for about a week and it made me breakout really bad, after each use my face still felt slightly oily like it didn’t help to cleanse away anything.
