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.

Had a love-hate relationship in the beginning, until I just flat out dislike it in the end. My skin took awhile to react, and when it did I got redness on my cheeks and chin. Also got small breakouts. I think it's mostly the extracts? I hope it isn't the cica because it is a popular ingredient. With that said, it did control my oiliness. The texture is alright too. After applying it might feel tacky, but it will become smooth after a few minutes.
