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.

Mary & May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream supposed to be good for dark circles around eyes. The product itself has a strong fragrance, which may or may not be good when used over many weeks

#strong scent
