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.

Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):
Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.
This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.

Surprisingly it actually worked, my skin was less irritated, more velvety, hydrated and there was a little bit of an improvement in pore size. However it does occasionally cause me very small whiteheads, this side effect is not severe, but I still wish it was fungal acne safe and non comedlgenic.
I tried this to minimize my pores, unfortunately I broke out real bad using this one. I have oily skin. I regret trying it.
