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.

Utilizei o produto por vários meses. Pela propaganda, esperava um resultado mais significativo. Ele tem um cheiro até agradável e, no início, causou um repuxamento na pele, além de um efeito gelado. A sensação é de uma limpeza bastante forte. Ele não controlou a oleosidade; com o tempo, minha pele se acostumou, mas, mesmo após esse período de adaptação, não houve melhora nesse aspecto.
