Jade K., 24 | Verified Purchase
Was using tretinoin for acne and my skin barrier was compromised. Glow Essence made such a difference. Two weeks in and no more flaking. Love how it works under my Rare Beauty tinted moisturizer. One bottle lasts about 5 weeks with morning and evening use - completely worth it.
Ethan R., 28 | Verified Purchase
I tried COSRX previously but this feels more refined. Using the Complete Ritual for 6 weeks now. The light fragrance is pleasant and subtle. Yes, it's an investment, but the results are noticeable. Note that you'll need to restock every 5 weeks with daily use.
Ashley T., 38 | Verified Purchase
Switched from Tatcha to the Shine Serum and noticed better results. Pairs perfectly with my Glow Recipe and Summer Fridays products. My skin looks consistently healthy and hydrated. The only downside is needing to restock every 5-6 weeks.
Madison C., 27 | Makeup Artist | Verified Purchase
As a makeup artist, I need prep products that work under various foundations. The Glow Essence creates the perfect canvas for everything from Nars to Charlotte Tilbury. Clients consistently ask about their improved skin texture.
Chris M., 29 | Verified Purchase
Finally found an approachable skincare routine. Glow Essence is perfect after workouts, layers well with Paula's Choice BHA. The subtle scent is refreshing. A bottle typically lasts 5 weeks of regular use.
Zoe P., 42 | Verified Purchase
Dealing with hormonal changes and stress-related breakouts until I found the Shine Serum. Works beautifully with my Drunk Elephant products. The light fragrance feels luxurious and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.
Alex W., 25 | Verified Purchase
Using this between tretinoin nights (0.025%) and it's made a significant difference. Better for barrier repair than my previous La Roche Posay products. Despite the 5-week supply, the results justify the repurchase.
Dr. Jamie H., 32 | Dermatology Resident | Verified Purchase
I recommend this to patients using retinoids or active treatments. The formulation is elegant and complementary to most skincare routines. A great alternative to premium-priced essences. Appreciate the scientific approach to hydration.
Lily S., 28 | Verified Purchase
Previous SK-II user here - the Glow Essence offers comparable results at a better value. Using it alongside Sunday Riley products with great results. Would appreciate an unscented option in the future.
Jenna L., 26 | Verified Purchase
Coming from years of Korean skincare experience, this feels more refined. The Shine Serum layers perfectly under sunscreen and makeup. Helpful tip: expect to reorder every 4 weeks with twice-daily use. Looking forward to an unscented version.
