So excited to show off these products in my video reviews to you all soon! I especially loved the serum! (Taken from my reviews) I really like that this Glow Baby serum combines Vitamin C with glycolic acid, because exfoliating also helps with dark spots and a more even skintone while helping with skin cell turnover. Normally I don’t mix Vitamin C with other acids like this serum does, but when the ingredients are formulated to compliment one another (like with this product), my sensitive skin can handle it. As for the texture and smell of the product, the texture is water-like/incredibly lightweight, and it does feature parfum as an ingredient. The texture absorbs super easily without making your skin feel tacky. So if you’re looking for fragrance free options, this won’t be the one for you. I did find that the scent wasn’t overpowering, and I’m sensitive to fragranced skincare. It is a light citrus scent with a hint of vanilla (it smells sweet and citrusy at the same time).
On to the glow drops: Key ingredients that I noticed were vitamin c, glycolic acid, and kakadu plum. If you are like me and hadn’t heard of that last ingredient, it is meant to have anti inflammatory properties, so this should be safe to use in acne prone skin. Speaking of, vitamin c helps with uneven skin tone (if you’re like me it can help either redness left behind by acne) and glycolic acid is a gentle exfoliator that can help with dead skin buildup (which can lead to acne). So I think this is a good option for multiple skin types. I am someone who gets acne, and has super sensitive and often dry leaning skin, and this product worked well for me.
Lastly, I did notice a light scent to it. Reading on the brand website, it does say the scent comes from essential oils. To me, it smelled like creamsicle ice cream, a mixture of sweet vanilla and orange citrus. I definitely would recommend these to others as it is a nice and affordable option.
