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 can't stand the scent. It's overwhelming and lingers for a long time.
Melano CC Brightening Lotion - Moist 15 ingredients
I’ve been using this for years and it’s one of the only products I own that is fungal acne safe and helps with dark spots. I put it on in the morning after washing my face and my skin feels hydrated right after
I love Melano CC, but the essence/spot treatment is better. I like to use toner instead of cleansing in the morning, but this one leaves a filmy feeling on my skin. I'll keep using it as it's synergistic with the essence, but I won't repurchase.
