Strawberry Smooth BHA + AHA Salicylic Serum
🍓 I have to be honest, it took me a while to understand and appreciate this product. But now I do, I'm literally obsessed with it and it is a staple in my skincare routine!
✅️ The strawberry smooth salicylic serum contains 10% AHA and BHA complex (which is a blend of 2% salicylic acid and mandelic acid, plus strawberry, azelaic acid and succinic acid) - for potent skin clarifying, pore refining and clearing breakouts
✅️ It also contains balanced hydrating and soothing ingredients including hyaluronic acid and allantoin - for skin protection, moisture and calming
✅️ The serum sinks into the skin. It has a non-sticky/greasy residue, and feels like nothing on the skin. Because of this it can even be worn under makeup. And it doesn't disrupt/interact with other products in my routine
✅️ The unique key feature with this serum (which I only fully appreciated after experimenting with other AHA/BHA serums) is that it perfectly balances EFFECTIVE with GENTLE exfoliation. The serum keeps my skin blemish free and decongested. AND it is gentle enough for daily use from day 1, whereas other AHA/BHA serums I've tried take building up (starting with 1-2 x per week, increasing in frequency over the course of a few weeks until you can tolerate daily use). From day 1 this serum didn't make my skin burn or itch and didn't cause me any redness
🚫 The serum is 'expensive' - obviously this is relative, but all Glow Recipe products tend to be on the pricer side
🚫 It has a mildly unpleasant chemical smell, but this does fade once dry
