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.

There are two forms of panthenol: D and L.
D-panthenol is also known as dexpanthenol. Most cosmetics use dexpanthenol or a mixture of D and L-panthenol.
Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):

This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.

Thank you for fixing my skin barrier haha.
The serum is very hydrating and absorbs quickly, the texture is thick but not sticky. I used it with my tretinoin because tretinoin broke my skin barrier and made me dry skin type. So far no outbreaks from it or any other problems yet. The bottle is good quality and the pump press is smooth, easy to get a small quantity out instead of accidentally pushing it all the way.

I agree with you! I've been using it daily for a month because my skin is really sensitive, and it works great for that. Doesn't do a whole lot more (besides some hydration and brightening), but what it does, it does very well! Will stock up when it's on sale again. So gentle
