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.

So far its been great, I have had no damaged or irritated skin (except for some slight tingling on application), it's reduced the redness of my inflammatory acne and seems to reduce the oiliness of my skin.

I used this to correct the skin color of my sunburnt shoulders and back. It felt drying when using it but this product combined with physical exfoliation using a brush loofah removed my tan lines and reverted my skin color to how it was from childhood. Some of my scar marks from a long time ago also disappeared after using this.
A very hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen are required after Show more
Effective dark spots corrector soap but remember it can be drying and causes sun sensitivity, so always use moisturizer(night) and sunscreen(morning) after using this soap because if not you will get the opposite result that you want from this product .
