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.

The catechins in witch hazel have anti-inflammatory properties while the gallic acid is antibacterial.

May not be suitable for combination skin
I bought this for my acne-prone combination skin. However, within two days (used only in the evening), it overexfoliated the non-oily parts of my face, which are mostly around my mouth. If your skin is not super oily and/or you're already using acids or other drying actives, it's a bit of a harsh cleanser. I wouldn't recommend it for daily use. Otherwise, I like it. I use it only when I notice that my skin is starting to get oily, though I don't think I will purchase this again.
