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.

SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel 25 ingredients
Really soothing
It's really calming and soothing, good to apply when your skin is too sensitive or if you've got your skin barrier damaged
When my skin is inflamed or sensitive, I use a drop of this and it calms my skin the next day. It doesn't clog pores, so this is safe for acne prone skin. My only con about this product is that it has fragrance.
