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.

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.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Might be fine for people not suffering with acne or sensitive skin
Used this cleanser for about 4 months before realising it made my skin worse than before. Although I never felt very stripped from it and the smell of the goats milk was not overpowering. Didn’t know at the time but from using it I experienced much more redness and it created more texture on my cheeks and breakouts on my nose. Glad to say I stopped using it although some people enjoy it I just don’t agree with how much worse it aggravated my oily acne prone skin.

Mid cleanser - did what was expected
Didn't make any difference in my skin overall but it helped in repairing my DEAD skin barrier which is why I got it in the first place, mostly recommend for people with no real skin concerns and just want to have a skincare routine for cleanliness
