Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.
If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

Bioderma Atoderm Shower Gel 25 ingredients
I like this product a lot compared to other body washes. I have very dry skin and in the winter my skin on my legs hurts pretty often. While this does not fully help it is less harsh. I bought the oil version recently and will update this review after some comparison between the two.
