A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

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.

I have very sensitive acne prone combination skin with multiple deep acne scars, and it's an absolute staple of my skincare routine.
I'm on my 4th ampoule right now, and absolutely recommend it if you want to get rid of acne scars without ruining your skin barrier with more aggressive ingredients, but you have to commit to it!
