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.

game changer for me. have been using for years and i notice such a visible change in my skin after each use (product is exfoliating so don’t use every day), even healing my acne scabs because i pick at my face
Tried this product as a recommendation from an employee because they didn’t have Dark Angels at the time. It’s a good scrub definitely not extremely abrasive so it’s OK for more sensitive skin, but as someone with a very, very oily t-zone, I felt like this only made my skin oiler.

Not for my face but very good for my feet!
Use it once a week during tret break, really helps with fungal acne flare up
