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.

1st use after oil cleanser and it dried my skin and burned the area around my nose and cheeks it was red and irritated
İ have sensitive/dry skin
——- update:
Since i spent money on it now i use pea size enough to remove the oil cleanser but not enough to strip my skin as i had damaged my barrier with over exfoliating since my skin gets flaky…
Maybe it will work better later when i fix this Show more
Great cleanser, but is true that it’s more drying than what I expected.
Its scent reminds me of Vicks VapoRub. I don’t know why other reviews are saying that it has no scent or a light scent. I like it though.

HydroBoost Exfoliating Cleanser is a gem of a drugstore cleanser, with a subtle, light scent that makes it pleasant to use. Despite containing exfoliating ingredients, it’s surprisingly gentle and suitable for everyday use. After each wash, my skin feels thoroughly cleansed but never dry or stripped of moisture.
One of the standout features for me is its ability to effectively remove both Show more
good and hydrating exfoliator
i just recently picked up this product and have been using it for about a week. right off the bat it feels very hydrating and cleansing on my skin, even right after washing my face my skin feels very hydrated. it exfoliates very well while not being too harsh on the skin. i highly recommend this product, it's both super hydrating and affordable
