Is Glow Recipe too pricey?

Hi friends, I wanted to get your opinion on the price of Glow Recipe products. Do you feel like they are overpriced? Being a k-beauty brand, their products are much more expensive than other Korean brands. Are their products worth paying more for?

Glow Recipe is for people who already have good skin and just want to play with skincare. Absolutely overpriced.

Thank you for you response. I feel like if I had extra money to spare, I would totally get their beautiful products. But I would rather stick with more affordable brands that work for me ๐Ÿ˜Š

They are kind of Korea-inspired American brand, maybe that's why the pricetag. I have only one item of this brand, Watermelon Pink Juice moisturizer, and for me it's not worth the price. It's not a bad product, but neither it is outstanding, - it's light and pleasant to use, but not hydrating enough even for my oily skin.

Thank you for sharing the product! I also only have one of their products (the new pomegranate serum). I really like it, but donโ€™t know if I would pay $45 for it. I got it free for review.

Glow Recipe products are extremely gimmicky in my opinion. You only pay for the cute packaging and fruit-themed formulations that are inefficient.

Thank you for your response. They are definitely pretty bottles and beautiful scents, but I agree, I feel like you are paying for an โ€œimageโ€.

One of the brands I don't buy because its overprice for the same ingredient and formulation. I feel like we are paying extra for their creative packaging alone.

Thank you for your reply! I like the concept of fruit based skincare, but absolutely agree with you that we pay for the brand and the looks, and not so much for the formula ๐Ÿ˜Š
