Glow Recipe Pineapple-C Bright Serum - Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E for Brightening + Exfoliating - Vegan Hydrating Face Serum for Blemish-Prone + Sensitive Skin (30ml / 1oz)

Product Information

However, the serum simply didn’t work for my skin at all, and left my complexion worse off than it was before, so for that reason, I definitely don’t think it’s worth the money. A great moisturizer and anti-inflammatory ingredient that also helps wound healing and skin regeneration. Glow Recipe's new serum leans on 22 percent pineapple juice — which is naturally bursting with vitamin C — and ascorbic acid to effectively rid skin of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and acne scarring, so skin appears brighter, glossier, and more even. Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin (penetration enhancer), making the product spread nicely over the skin (slip agent), and attracting water (humectant) into the skin.

Pineapple-C Bright Serum, which goes on presale tomorrow (April 1), is the brand's take on vitamin C, an ingredient that's known for being difficult to stabilize. This is actually more of a quick fix for when you want a good skin day, whereas the Dark Spot formula is a long-term strategy for evening out the skin's overall tone. We have good news regarding the absorption: on top of manufacturer claims, there is some data (animal study) demonstrating in can get into the skin, and it seems to be better at it than Ascorbyl Glucoside, another vitamin C derivative. Inspired by the Korean glass skincare trend, this serum helps all skin types attain their clearest-ever complexion. It can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula.It is a polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule and has different molecular weight and thus different viscosity versions from water-light to thick liquid. I'm a makeup lover but this week it felt a shame to cover up my glowing skin with foundation; I just didn't need it. Glass Skin Status - This Vitamin C face serum is Inspired by the K-beauty trend of "Glass Skin," the Pineapple-C Bright Serum contains 22% pineapple juice, pure Ascorbic Acid, and stable 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic acid to reveal a poreless, translucent, and illuminated complexion so reflective skin appears like glass. While this is the purest form of vitamin C, the main issue is that it is extremely prone to oxidation which renders the formula ineffective. And, I think if you want good skincare but you're a busy person or don't have a ton of time or the inclination to layer on multiple serums, trying to figure out what might work together: that's the kind of formula you need too.

On April 5, cult-fave beauty line Glow Recipe dropped its latest product, and there's already no doubt it's going to make a splash.However, if you have super-sensitive skin, we suggest starting off by using it every other day and gradually increase usage.

You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. When combined, all of these benefits provide a true skin rejuvenating experience aiding in brightening, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin—all at the same time. We also checked Prospector for sodium hyaluronate versions actually used in cosmetic products and found that the most common molecular weight was 1.This little pineapple-shaped vial from Glow Recipe is meant to harness all the key components of a K-beauty routine: brightening, exfoliation, and hydration. This is a less-complex formula, but it does contain fragrance, whereas the other only has plant extracts so that's something to bear in mind if it's a concern for you. In this episode, we sat down with Glow Recipe founders Christine Chang and Sarah Lee to talk skin care, injectables, sustainability, and the seven skin method.

I've been using it for just over two weeks and my skin appears so much more radiant and even in tone and texture.The only thing I'd really add to this is niacinamide but I guess that's in a lot of products already. There’s no reason to bash this serum—in all honesty, this might work for someone out there and the brand is worth giving a shot. Our bouncy, lightweight serum will do just that with three potent forms of antioxidant-rich vitamin C. In Aldi's pineapple serum, ethyl ascorbic acid (a version of vitamin C) comes 12th in the list of ingredients whereas it's sixth in Glow Recipe's version, suggesting that the former is weaker in potency.
