Since there’s already pineapple, watermelon, blueberry and avocado, maybe peach/yuzu/cucumber? (*¯︶¯*)

[ChristineGlows]

@Himecharacter Yum! All the flavors we love 🙂

[fashin]

Are your products all natural, can be used for sensitive skin? 

[SarahGlows]

@fashin Glow Recipe Skincare is natural and clean, and we combine natural extracts and active ingredients for gentle yet effective results. We test each and every product on sensitive skin types before launching, but if you have allergies or extra sensitive skin, we recommend patch testing on the nape of your neck and seeing how your skin reacts.  

[fashin]

Great, thanks! Your products smell amazing. I hope they can be used for combination/oily/sensitive skin.

[SarahGlows]

@fashin they can be! I have oily/combo skin, and my skin loves our products 🙂 

[fashin]

Fantastic, I will try them out. Also, do they contain any glycols?

I am a man, should I use men skincare products or can I use any skincare. BTW you guys are great!!

[ChristineGlows]

@Anonymous Hi! Really great question - we don't believe in gender-specific skincare and we formulate our products with everyone in mind. We'd recommend choosing your skincare based on skin concerns and skin type. Email us love@glowrecipe.com and we're happy to help you put together a skincare routine! 

[ChristineGlows]

Taking a few seconds to take off our sheet masks! Reminder that you always want to remove your sheet masks after 15-20 minutes while they're still damp to get the maximum benefits 💛

What is the pH of the blueberry bounce cleanser? Is it balanced enough? Please let me know.

[SarahGlows]

@Vixpo Great question! The Glow Recipe Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser 5.41 oz/ 160 mL consistently yields a pH between 5.5 - 6 (Results can vary depending on testing conditions.)

how is the best way to apply the moisturizer. I own all the glow recipies line but have issues applying the moisturizer. which I loveeeee btw. all the watermelon stuff. ah♡

[ChristineGlows]

@manda8901 Hi! We recommend to pat in each step of your skincare to help with absorption and minimize friction and tugging. Another option is to spritz our Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mL on the skin to help hydrate the skin after cleansing. If you compare a dry, hard sponge vs. a wet sponge, the wet sponge is more easily able to pick up water. Similarly for skin, making sure it's sufficiently plumped and hydrated throughout your routine can help subsequent skincare steps sink in. Hope this helps!

I totally own the spray already I love it. So just pat it in. Thanks so much.

Can you guys make a serum for acne and a foam cleanser instead of a gel cleanser?

[ChristineGlows]

@ShadesofTiffany That’s a great idea, we’ll consider it! In the meantime, our Pineapple-C Bright Serum is great to brighten, exfoliate, and soothe your skin and is perfect for blemish-prone skin. Our Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser (which is also great for blemish-prone skin) is a gel to foam texture—just lather it between damp hands to activate the microsuds.

What was the inspiration behind Glow Recipe? Did you find there was a lack of certain skincare products you were looking for or wanting for your skin?? 💕💕💕

[SarahGlows]

@CFultzy Skincare has always been a big part of our life. We were talking about it one night at my apartment (while sheet masking and drinking some wine, of course:)) and we realized that there's a huge opportunity to introduce the best of Korean skincare into the US. We're really passionate about sharing what we know, whether it's skincare secrets or the latest innovations from Korea!

I have used the watermelon moisturizer and sleep mask. But it balls up and causes pilling on my skin after a few minutes of it on my skin. Any idea what causes it and how to prevent it?

[Anonymous]

The sleep mask does this to me not the moisturizer. I put very little and pat it in.
