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.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

FaceTheory Supergel Oil-Free Moisturiser M3 17 ingredients
Oily/Combination/CysticAcne/Malassezia
Pros: Hydrating and malassezia safe.
Cons: Goes on lightweight, but causes intense shine/oil for the rest of the day (even through makeup). Also, does not have any soothing benefits for redness, irritation, or flaking from acne.
Caused breakouts for my partner AND me!

Super soothing moisturiser
I needed to repair my damaged skin barrier when I began adapalene treatment for acne. This felt so soothing and I've kept it in ever since. It plays well on my dry and acne prone skin in my PM and AM routines, I feel it helps keep my skin calm and hydrated alongside adapalene and the other actives in my routine.
Gave me congested skin & was too greasy.
I really wanted this product to work but it really congested my skin. It also was greasy I was expecting it to really hydrate my skin but it didn't. it caused me more fungal acne as well.
