Is Glow Recipe worth the money?

I’m seeing everyone with Glow Recipe and wondering if it’s actually worth it?

Re: Is Glow Recipe worth the money?

I bought the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner 5.07 oz/ 150 mL # and  Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Brightening Treatment Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL  # yesterday and they do smell pretty good and the watermelon toner is a bit sticky at first but then after i patted it in and it dried it is really good and made my skin soft so overall yes its worth it as of now

Omg I was wondering that too!!

Hi!!! I actually went to Sephora today and just bought the glow recipe toner and I tried out tonight and it feels GREAT on your skin and I found out you don’t need a lot of product, so it will last a very long time. I even have friends who just made the half way mark and bought it around summertime

@MaDeLiNe4728  Your budget would really dictate whether something is ‘worth it’ or not.  
Glow Recipe has a few stand out products and also have many that seem to do very little.  Their signature fragrances are the real draw with most of their products. 

That being said there are three products which stand out for me personally-but everyone’s skin is different.  
Their Night Treatment is wonderful and leaves skin quite soft.  Just be sure to wear sunscreen religiously while suing this as it makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight and more prone to sun damage without that extra sun protection.  
The Glow Pop lip balm is soooo good.  Warning that it is a softer formula and you do power through these very quickly.  They are highly moisturizing and leave a beautiful pink tint on your lips.  
The pineapple vitamin C serum smells heavenly.  Is it better than any other vitamin c serum?  Maybe not but the fragrance is divine .
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment 2.02 oz / 60 mL  Glow Recipe Glow Lip Pop Lip Balm Watermelon  Glow Recipe Pineapple Vitamin C Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL

Thank you so much for letting me know! 🙂

@MaDeLiNe4728 I only liked a couple of their products. If you can test it out in store or ask for a sample and see if you like it.

@hcbaking12  your skin is lovely.  Careful with using BHAs (in that toner) on already clear skin.  They are an oil soluable exfoliator and are generally more ideal for oily acne prone skin.  They can severely dry normal and clear skin out over time by breaking down oils in your skin thus breaking down your skin barrier which can cause acne and inflammation.  
If you’re looking for an exfoliating toner that’s more suitable for clear skin an AHA toner would be a wiser choice;) 

And a friendly reminder to ALWAYS use sunscreen when using exfoliating products or you can do more damage to your skin in the long run.  exfoliating causes sun sensitivity so it’s crucial to protect your skin when exfoliating.

Thank you for the extra tips 😊

@hcbaking12  Anytime.  You know what’s actually really good as a toner?  The glow recipe face mist!!  The mist is fine and very pleasant.  It’s got the signature watermelon fragrance Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mL
