Learn more about Butylene GlycolGlycerin 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.

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 haven't used this product for a long time, so I'll update my review if I notice any changes. But so far, I LOVE this moisturizer! I have a combo dehydrated acne/FA prone skin, and this leaves my skin feeling so so smooth, For me personally this doesn't feel sticky at all. On the contrary, absorbs really fast unlike other gel moisturizers that just sit on top. On my skin it leave a matte finish. Show more
it doesn’t clog my pores and i’m VERY clogged prone (if that’s even a thing) anyway i have oily skin and this is good for every season BUT the winter!! it’s not hydrating enough i have to pair with with a toner and to be honest it also makes my skin look dull and dry in the winter!! so by itself in the winter i rate it 2.5/5 but paired with a toner i rate it 5/5! very lightweight and i love how it Show more

this one was okayish to me. it hydrates my skin but again with my fungal acne triggered. i think i have nothing to say more. closed comedones. nothing much. it kinda stings on my skin too (yes bcs my skin barrier wasn't repaired before)
I love how gentle this product on my skin. My skin never felt this smooth before. It's funny when I get overly excited with how smooth my skin feel whenever I touched it.
