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.

dried out under my eyes and actually made the fine lines worse, had to apply extra moisturizer to undereye area to negate the drying effects. Didn't do much for dark circles and only reduced appearance of fine lines a minimal amount (after extra moisturizer), effects not noticeable enough to be worth paying full price for imo.
