Description
Glow Recipe Strawberry Smooth is a serum that combines salicylic acid (a BHA that works inside pores) and succinic acid (an AHA) in a lightweight formula. The brand says it smooths the complexion, addresses blemishes and refines pores while hydrating skin. Hyaluronic acid and allantoin round out the formula to attract and bind moisture; the brand claims hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. Strawberry extract is included to help manage excess oil.
The brand positions this serum for oily, blemish-prone, and sensitized skin types, and says it's gentle enough for twice-daily use. Per the brand, a clinical study of 34 people showed 100% experienced significant improvement in fine lines and wrinkles after 4 weeks. The serum comes free of phthalates, drying alcohols, mineral oil, parabens, and silicones. The product is vegan and cruelty-free. As a dual-acid product, this is an active treatment that requires daytime SPF to protect against increased sun sensitivity.
