Learn more about WaterGlycerin 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.

i love it so so much, my fav mask of all time. super calming and helps with my acne a lot. i use this at least once a week /once every 2 weeks and this is just chefs kiss i swear its just sososoosos good and even the material of the mask is amazing. theres a lot of serum inside so i usually pour some of the remaining on the sheet mask to keep it wet for longer and use the rest on my body. the only thing is it can become tacky or sticky when it dries and if u put a lot of serum it can pill, but that isn't an issue for me since i only use it at night. i really recommend that you get this if you have acne-prone skin like me <3
