text: Glycerin is extremely hygroscopic, meaning that it attracts moisture.
text: Glycerin works as a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air into the stratum corneum (top layer of skin), and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis.
text: Glycerin is a humectant, meaning that it attracts moisture to the upper layer of the skin where it is applied.
text: The potential downside comes because glycerin attracts moisture to the epidermis (the surface layers of the skin) from wherever it can find it most abundantly - so in humid environments it may draw from the external atmosphere, but in many cases it will draw up moisture from the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis) to the epidermis, where moisture is more easily lost.
