Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin 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.

Disenfecting, a bit drying, but worth it.
The peroxide is going to break down the dead skin cells and any dried blood in your pores. It helps to kill the bacteria in them, which causes pimples and cysts. I've been dealing with fairly severe acne for a while, and I have problems with skin picking, but this helps. Make sure to moisturize well with it. It's steadily been eradicating the infections and cysts. Just avoid using medicated moisturizers directly afterward. Things like vitamin c or retinol will react with leftover peroxide, degrading and becoming less powerful. Either use a moisturizer without reactive acidic ingredients, or apply about 30 minutes after as not to waste the active ingredients in your moisturizer!

hit or miss
after developing cystic acne on my chin and along my cheeks, i saw this product on tiktok and decided to give it a try. Loved it for a few months, it definitely cleared my skin during the summer. helped a lot with cystic acne and texture. It got too drying when the seasons changed. also seemed to stop working for me after a while? I'm not sure what happened but suddenly it didn't work for me anymore. maybe better for really oily skin.
