I was initially a little hesitant to try this after seeing fragrance on the ingredient list, but Glow Recipe has stated that fragrance is always less than 0.5% of their formulations, and all fragrances are vegan and free of PCM compounds, acetone, and much more. so unless your skin is super sensitive, I wouldn’t worry too much about it!

The texture is super bouncy and the smell is beyond amazing!! Some key ingredients include:

𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁: watermelon has such high water content that it helps keep the skin hydrated and moisturized. it also delivers vitamins and amino acids that will keep the skin nice and clear

𝗰𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿: cactus water contains a high concentration of electrolytes to hydrate the skin and rich antioxidants that help prevent UV damage. it also protects the skin from aging and collagen loss

𝗣𝗛𝗔: polyhydroxy acids help to resurface and smooth skin, while also removing buildup of dead skin cells. their larger molecular size allows them to sink into the skin more gradually, giving you effective retexturing and smoothing results with minimal irritation

𝗕𝗛𝗔: this ingredient penetrates the pore&#39;s outer surface and decongests clogged pores, making it one of the most effective ingredients in reducing the appearance of pores and blackheads

𝗵𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗱: did you know hyaluronic acid retains 1000x its weight in water! it helps replenish lost moisture and provide enhanced skin barrier support, creating that smooth, plump, healthy-looking skin effect

My only complaint is that i would’ve preferred if this came in a dropper bottle so that it would be easier to control how much product came out. But other than that, I’m a fan &amp; will definitely be checking out more of their products soon!!

This is by far the most hydrating serum i have ever tried and a little goes a long way! I apply just a small pea-sized amount to my skin and it’s perfect!

I was initially a little thrown off because the tube didn’t have a those plastic seals at the opening, but apparently it’s very safe to use!!

Dr. Althea’s brand mission is to combine stunning aesthetics with dermatologically safe &amp; natural ingredients to create the highest quality products! I instantly fell in love with their minimalistic packaging and really appreciate how they print the entire ingredient list right on the product itself!!

This cream formulated with 𝘢𝘻𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘦, an antioxidant derived from 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘪𝘭, and 𝘩𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘥, this cream is super effective in calming down irritated &amp; sensitive skin. I thought this would be too thick for my combo&#47;oily skin, but it’s surprisingly pretty lightweight and leaves my skin feeling plump &amp; nicely hydrated! It also has a very subtle flowery scent which I love!!

It’s packed with amazing soothing &amp; healing ingredients to help inflammation, damaged skin barrier, and everything in between! I’ve been using this every night for the past week and have already noticed small improvements in the texture and redness of my skin on days when it’s dry or irritated. It’s so rich &amp; nourishing and just perfect for the colder weather right now too hehe

As someone with combo&#47;oily skin, I don’t think this set was exactly right for me, however I’d highly recommend it for those with dry, sensitive, or irritated skin! All their products are alcohol, fragrance, and essential oil free, making it also perfect for beginners😊

Made with 85% 𝘣𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳, this acidic toner claims to hydrate, brighten, and smooth the skin while rebalancing it’s pH levels. It’s very liquidy and basically feels like i’m just splashing water on my face LOL I’ll admit that it’s really refreshing, but my skin doesn’t feel as hydrated as it could be compared to some of the other toners I have in my stash

Some people may not like the feeling of the little ceramide beads against the skin, but I don’t mind!

PACKAGING: Thid is a ginormous tube!! Like I’m not even joking, it’s probably as big as my face, and it’s super affordable and is such a great deal for the amount of product you get!! I even picked up two baby 30ml minis which are super convenient to keep in my purse whenever I’m out &amp; about!!

APPLICATION: I would’ve imaged that a thick cream would suffocate my skin but it’s the opposite! Thr initial texture is very rich and creamy, and it melts right into my skin like butter! It doesn’t feel oily or greasy whatsoever. I’ve been using this in my night time routine and it never fails to leave my skin feeling so plump &amp; hydrated the next morning!

FINAL THOUGHTS: I’m always on the hunt for a perfect winter moisturizer, and this is definitely a winner in my books! It’s also super fun to feel the ceramide capsule beads break down &amp; dissolve into my skin hehe
