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.

This is so watery, light and refreshing. It's like thick water, and you only need a few drops on your palms to pat into your skin, but you can totally use it as a mask! Just douse a lint-free cotton pad with it (the bottle is HUGE for the price, don't worry) and slap it on any dry or dull spots you have to hydrate and plump up your skin. A small tip: leave some dampness on your skin after cleansing before putting this on- the hyaluronic acid should have plenty of water so it can work its magic!

Glad I bought it!
This has been a great addition to my hydration and restoration focused skincare routines. It feels almost weightless and leaves my skin very hydrated and soft. I use it as an 'in-between-step' right after toning and follow up with essences, serums, etc. Love its soothing and calming effects. It also goes very well with my other products and doesn't pill.
