Before we get into this Glow Recipe review, let’s go over some initial pros and cons of the brand Pros While Glow Recipe headquarters are based in California, their factories are located in South Korea. How long does Glow Recipe take to ship? Potent, plant-based powerhouse ingredients that help support a healthy-looking skin barrier by guarding against free radicals and hydrating skin. Vitamin B5

To begin, let us wax poetic about the juicy plum. Not only is this summer stone fruit super hydrating, but plums can actually help to synthesize your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid production – how cool is that?! In this formula, we combined three different types of plums. First we have Kakadu plums, which are native to Australia and are some of the most potent natural sources of vitamin C, even more so than oranges. Next up we have the Illawarra plum, which have tons of anthocyanins, a potent antioxidant. Anthocyanins give fruit like blueberries and plums their deep bluish color. They’re also incredible antioxidants that protect your skin from free radical damage and help to prevent signs of aging. To round us out, we have the Burdekin plum. In addition to vitamin C in antioxidants, this fruit also is rich in skin-balancing minerals like magnesium, calcium, zinc and potassium. We formulate using the minimum amount of fragrance, when needed, to create a sensorial, enjoyable skincare experience. Fragrance is always less than 0.5% of our formulations, and all fragrances are vegan and free of PCM compounds, acetone, and much more.

Since Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant, there’s no risk of it clogging pores or contributing in any other way to breakouts. Furthermore, research has found that this ingredient can actually reduce sebum overproduction, which takes out a major contributor to breakouts and oiliness.

We formulate using the minimum amount of fragrance, when needed, to create a sensorial, enjoyable skincare experience. Fragrance is always less than 0.5% of our formulations, and all fragrances are vegan and free of PCM compounds, acetone, and much more. Plum Plump Hyaluronic Gloss Balm Glow Recipe donates a portion of its sales to organizations related to diversity and inclusion, environmental preservation and female empowerment, and education We recommend applying the serum to slightly damp skin (to create a moist environment!) and adding a moisturizer after serum to seal in all of the nutrients. All hyaluronic acids used in this formula are proven to attract moisture and significantly increase skin’s hydration immediately and overtime. That said, it will evaporate faster on the skin in drier climates. To prevent that dissipation, apply an occlusive ingredient that will trap the moisture in the skin so it can do its job plumping, healing, and hydrating your complexion. Moisturizers with emollient and nourishing ingredients (like Pink Juice and Banana Soufflé) will help to seal in the benefits of this treatment. Can I mix this with Pink Juice/Plum/Banana Moisturizers? Known as one of the best selling skincare products at Sephora, the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask is not your typical face mask.
