Reviews mention

  • Hydrating formulas with dewy finish
  • Lightweight textures that layer beautifully

  • Refreshing, ultra-fine facial mist
  • Heavy fragrance in many products
  • Inconsistent long-term skin results
  • Occasional pilling overnight mask
  • Inconvenient jar-style packaging

Glow Recipe earns polarized reviews: many report plumper, hydrated, visibly glowy skin—especially from Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore‑Tight Toner and Niacinamide Dew Drops—while others find the products fragranced, underwhelming in efficacy, or irritating to sensitive skin. Reviews praise silky textures, refreshing mists, and makeup‑friendly glow, but cite heavy fragrance, occasional breakouts, pilling from the AHA night treatment, and fussy jar packaging as drawbacks.

  • The glow recipe products there without compare one the best ones I ever tried they are very gentle in the skin without any harsh chemical I see so much improvement in my face since I have been using it.

  • This toner smells amazing and gives my skin an instant glow! It gently exfoliates and tightens pores without drying out my skin. Perfect for keeping my texture smooth and my skin hydrated at the same time.🩷🩷🩷💕💕💕

  • I use the Glow Recipe Plump Plump Hyaluronic cream for my night time face moisturizer. It's light, absorbs nicely and doesn't have much of a scent- which is much appreciated. I am on the drier side skin wise, so I do tend to, in the winter/fall, need to add extra moisture before applying (face oils/serums). For warm and humid nights, this is perfect alone. You get a good amount of product for the cost too along with options to refill your container. *uodate: I'd steer clear of the lip Glass Balm tubes. Had the worst flaky lips ever and when I stopped using them, realized the balm tubes were causing the issue.

  • As a diehard fan a few years ago, I embraced the vibrant and attractive products. However, as time went on, my evolving skincare needs highlighted some drawbacks. The heavily fragranced products and an abundance of harsh ingredients became apparent, and my skin did not react positively. While the brand excels in visual appeal, my experience suggests that a focus on gentler formulations might better cater to diverse skin types and sensitivities.

  • This is lirerally a recipe for glow to me! Used their watermelon pore-thight toner and niacinamide dew drops. Pleasant fresh scent and consistency. Leaves the skin brighten and moisturize. Highly recommended, I'd love to try more of their products.

  • I honestly have nothing bad to say about Glow Recipe, I have happily used their brand for every single step of my skincare regime, and my skin has never been happier! Their products are not only in the CUTEST packaging but the products are the best quality as well! I would highly recommend their products to everyone as they have products to cater to every single skin type.

  • Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow pore tight toner isn't something that I utilize daily only because I don't love watermelon smell, but I love the product! It's effective and leaves my skin feeling amazing. If you love watermelon scent - buy now!

  • I tried the Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream and I was amazed. I didn't know it would make me glow that much or well I didn't expect it which is weird the name literally says glow Recipe. It smells amazing, feels amazing and the packaging is so cuteeee. My only issue is its a bit small but definitely worth it

  • love love love the lord tight toner! as a oily skin girlie this makes my skin feel so hydrated and tight , without adding any extra oil onto my skin <4 Along with the new niacinamide dew drops ! they leave my clean skin with a dewy look, not a greasy look, and with a nice bronzy glow 😍 definitely worth the amount i paid :)

  • Lovely smelling products with added benefits for my skin.

  • Glow Recipe is absolutely amazing! Their products are so effective and leave my skin glowing and radiant. I love how their ingredients are clean and carefully chosen, and the formulations are gentle yet powerful. The texture of their serums and moisturizers is luxurious, and they absorb beautifully into my skin. I’ve noticed a real improvement in my complexion since using their products. Glow Recipe has quickly become one of my favorite skincare brands—highly recommend!

  • I tried the watermelon toner. It was nice and effective. Smelled great too. But for the price, I don’t see myself getting it

  • The Glow Recipe Watermelon range was a game-changer for me. The niacinamide-infused serum leaves skin feeling (and looking) very plump and rejuvenated - not overwhelming or sticky. Also, the ultra-fine mist is such a great spray for the handbag or travel - instantly revitalising and refreshing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Will be trying more of the products because I'm so impressed with the few I've had thus far. 🍉💘

  • Unfortunately, multiple products made me break out. I am obsessed with their aesthetic packaging and branding and I wanted to so badly love them.
