Glycerin 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.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

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.

I've gone through a great deal of eye creams in the past and I have to say I was the most impressed with this one! This was suggested to me by my sister's friend. It wasn't until the second week that I started to notice prominent changes to the appearance in my dark circles and fine lines. Though mine are mostly due to genetics, I felt that this made them less noticeable to the point where I no longer needed to apply color corrector. I don't experience any irritation or stinging with this cream. This is significantly cheaper than most eye creams out there given that I had bought this for $10 back in February and I only ran out a few days ago. I also found the packaging to be more convenient especially when it came to travel and dispensing. And I'm now on my second purchase! Provided (Feb)Before/(June)After pics for comparison.

I use this product now for a year and I love how it keeps my fine lines around the eye area in chape and moisturized. Although I like to level up the effect of moisturizing by applying the Kahi Balm after a few minutes.
I think there are better products out there but I still did not find a better one fo rme.
