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.

I use this every morning before Curel intensive moisturiser, and I feel it gives my skin just that little extra hydration. In terms of texture, it's very much like water; I pump it three times in my hand and tap it all over my face. I have repurchased several times as it works for my sensitive, dry skin.
