Learn more about WaterGlycerin 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.

When applied, Gluconolactone has the same affect on skin as AHAs such as lactic acid. It helps dissolve the dead skin cells in the top layer of your skin. This improves texture and brightens the skin.
PHAs are more gentle than AHAs due to their larger structure. They do not penetrate as deeply as AHAs and take a longer time to dissolve dead cells. Studies show PHAs do not cause as much irritation.

Here's what our community thinks
Drunk Elephant Scrubbi Bamboes Body Cleanser 41 ingredients
The mere thought of it frustrates me. Never have I encountered a product with packaging so challenging to use. The tiny 1mm hole barely allows the thick, gel-like consistency of the cleanser, infused with biodegradable bamboo beads, to be dispensed, turning a simple task into a struggle. Squeezing the bottle needs so much effort, that it makes my hand hurt. Removing the cap isn't an ideal solution Show more
