Concentrated potions to help achieve your skin care goals. From AM to PM; I've been lucky to try a variety of serums. Everyone is different, we are all unique, and what works for me may not work for you. But I think being able to see all of your opti...

Vitamin C

Brighten, Anti-Aging, Boost Sunscreen Effectiveness

I prefer this Vitamin C derivative over their Ethylated Ascorbic Acid because this one is far less oily in texture & plays better with other serums.
Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% - The Ordinary

Not going to lie...I bought this when it was on sale at Costco 🤣 And I was actually pleasantly surprised. If you're looking to create a minimalist skincare routine I highly recommend this serum. Not only does it contain Vitamin C, but it also has pe...

Lactic Acid

Brighten, Gently Exfoliate, Anti-Aging

This is by far one of my favorite serums! There's a light touch of lactic acid for those who have sense skin...but the GLOW 🤩 I typically add a drop into my moisturizer or foundation in the morning.
Nude Glow Facial Serum

I strive for honesty here! And to be honest for the price of this serum....I expected more. It was nice, but I've used cheaper one's that worked just as well. But all of our skin is different & unique! So try whatever you want!
Good Genes All-In-One AHA Lactic Acid Treatment

Not my favorite, but it is effective & affordable. With this serum I would recommend using an oil either after or mixed in with your moisturizer.
Lactic Acid 10% + HA

Hyaluronic Acid

Glow Recipe's bottles are so cute 😍 BUUUUT you can find cheaper HA than this, I don't feel like this is anything spectacular.
Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum

This one is a bit too sticky for me. And let's be honest, most of our other serums & moisturizers already have HA in them. But to each their own ❤️
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

This HA is one of my favorites, I save it for super dry seasons as my rescue serum. This one I prefer over the regular HA serum The Ordinary has because it's much more viscous and less sticky.
Marine Hyaluronics

Niacinamide

I expected more from this...the internet made me think this was going to be life changing. It's nice, but I've used much cheaper niacinamide serums that work just as well as this one.
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops

Affordable niacinamide formula that gives just as much glow as the pricey niacinamide 🥰
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

I was curious to see if the powder performed differently than the serum. Same results, a bit cheaper, and it's lasted a lot longer! My favorite trick is to mix this niacinamide powder with my snail mucin essence 😍

If you're not awake of the benefits of mushrooms...in literally every aspect of your life; this serum will convince you! This mushroom emulsion serum helps to repair & protect your skin barrier.

Again...the internet made me think Glow Recipe was going to be the best thing to grace my face. It's nice...but you can find cheaper Serums that work just as well.
Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum

My FAVORITE for anti-aging! It's effective but gentle on the skin and a non-sticky formula.

A good basic beginner face oil. She's not my go to, but she's nice 🙂
