Glycerin 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.

My holy grail together with the normal lab 5000 toner
I bought this in September of last year, I use it every day in the morning. It hasn’t broke me out or trigger my fungal acne.
I have dry, sensitive, fungal-acne prone skin and it has hydrated my skin very well and helped me through winter.
I am looking at other toners but I’ve yet to find one that piques my interest but I will update if I have found a better alternative.
