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.

🤍 time used: a month
I had very high hopes about this serum since it had minimalistic ingredients that looked promising as an acne prone skin, but upon using it day and night for a month i didn’t see any difference at all.
It barely hydrates the skin even when used on damp skin, and when i use it on dry skin it becomes sticky.
Also it’s expensive for the small ml they give.
Love avene but this Show more
I'm now sure that Niacinamide doesn't work for me.

As much as the ingredients are probably great this clogged my pores and caused me texture that was difficult to get rid of.
