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.

good eye cream, but WAY too expensive.
Restorative and soothing eye balm
After the great experience with DE's C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream, I got the ceramid rich eye balm for my evening routine. Once again, I am very happy with the results! 💜 Skin is plumper, fine lines are reduced, I wake up with firm, bouncy skin, and it hasn't caused any skin irritation, on the contrary - it is very soothing and hydrating.
