Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect 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.

Here's what our community thinks
iUNIK Propolis Vitamin Sleeping Mask 34 ingredients
The texture of this formula is gel like but feels so smooth and soft on the skin, it didn't break me out even though I have combination acne=prone skin and I love the hydrating effect- Although, if your skin is flaking out w/ dryness, this is not enough to hydrate it.
Not for oily skin
Not for combi skin. Breaks my out.

Hey, I've been thinking on reviewing this product and sharing my personal opinion and I will say this now, we don't need dedicated hyaluronic acid serums. I'll explain myself, in skincare and cosmetology there is a rule/unit of measurement of the 500 deltons what this rule means is that anything more than 500 deltons is hard to penetrate the skin,lock in moisture,hydrate or even function properly Show more
Amazing Product -
It absorbs nicely on skin, and leaves my skin hydrated while plump. This product doesn't leave a sticky residue which I've seen on some hyaluronic serums.
Also not a glass packaging which is great for clumsy people like me haha.
10/10!!
(remember - apply hyaluronic acid serum onto damp skin!) <3
