So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

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.

Xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer and thickener within cosmetic products. It helps give products a sticky, thick feeling - preventing them from being too runny.

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.

Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

It's great, but can be drying
I really noticed a difference when I first started using this at clearing some of my clogged pores. Perhaps my skin is reacting to it differently now, but I find it can be drying and it is no longer as effective at unclogging my pores. Giving it a higher review overall as I think the change is a result of repeated use. I recommend diversifying your masks and not using this too regularly, if you'd like to avoid it losing effect or drying your skin out.
