Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

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.

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

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

An absolute must-have for easily irritated dry winter skin! Helped me with irritation and tightness from wind burn and cold without clogging my pores. This product single-handedly turned my skin for the better. Newly found HG.

Used it and woke up the next morning with a pimple, thought nothing of it and used it again and my face was red the next day with so many break outs! Didn’t know what exactly caused it but I only used it twice and never again. I have sensitive combination skin.

I tried the Dr. Idriss method. I m sure it worked for many people but it didn’t work for me.
Firstly, I put on as much as she said but less than she did in the video. Her layer looked way thinner than mine, maybe that is why her skin absorbed it and mine didn’t. Anyway it was already on my face hence I didn’t want to remove it.
Secondary, I broke out a day later. And mind me, I also made sure Show more

I love this stuff and use it probably three times a week before bed or in the morning. It doesn't take much so a container can last you a long time.
