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.

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

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.

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 look more even.

No frills type of moisturizer. No bad reactions, no complaints on the texture and how it absorbs into my skin. I guess I wasn't a fan of the smell?...

No frills type of moisturizer. No bad reactions, no complaints on the texture and how it absorbs into my skin. I guess I wasn't a fan of the smell? Not that strong though. Overall, it is a great choice for newbies in skincare, especially those with sensitive skin. Might bump it up to 5 stars if this becomes the product I will always go back to.
