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.

My husband and I, we both use this product. We have notice good results, very different because we have different skin types. I see a more calm and uniform skin tone, he has his rosacea under control. The other big difference is that he feels comfortable using it and I hate it, but I notice the effects when I don't use it. Conclusion: if you have sensitive skin you are not going to enjoy using it Show more
