Updated September 16, 2026
30% glycerin serum hydrates intensely, supports the skin barrier; sticky texture noted.
What the community says
This serum packs 30% glycerin to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier, a favorite for dry and dehydrated skin types. Redditors consistently layer it on damp skin before moisturizer, praising its intensity but warning about a sticky, tacky feel. It’s not light enough for those who hate gooey textures.
