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.

Naturie Hatomugi Skin Lotion 11 ingredients
Cons: Worst part of using this is having to transfer it to a smaller bottle. Half a liter isn’t hard to pour from, but not convenient.
Pros: Works amazingly. My skin is so dry I’d scratch myself by accident and my arms would be covered with white scratch marks. Currently using a mist spray and even that’s effective. 500mL would last weeks, I’m sure. An absolute fave! So much that I keep a handy Show more
5/5 great toner overall
I get it when they say this is the most viral hatomugi/milk toner in Japan. (Context: "hatomugi" refers to Job's Tears in Japanese, and basically every Japanese milk toner includes hatomugi extract.)
This is actually an excellent Japanese skincare product to begin with, given that the majority of J-Beauty products contain ethanol, common allergens, and Show more

This product does work, but it should be noted that it takes a good while to see results. I would say compared to the Anua working for me within 2 weeks I really didn't notice any results until the 4 week mark and that was from using it morning at night. I did purchase this product while it was on sale, but I don't think I liked it enough to repurchase this at regular price.
Cleared two unsightly scars I had on my face, granted they were from picking at my skin rather than acne scars, but definitely cleared them quick enough for me to feel happier about my appearance!
However I believe this was one of the products contributing to my fungal acne flare up :(
