Glow Recipe Strawberry Smooth BHA+AHA Salicylic Serum Review
In today’s review, I’m diving into the Glow Recipe Strawberry Smooth BHA+AHA Salicylic Serum. This product has been in my routine for a while, so I feel ready to share my thoughts on its overall performance.
The formula contains 10% Clarity Acid Complex (a blend of 2% encapsulated salicylic acid, mandelic acid, azelaic acid, succinic acid, and strawberry extract) to improve skin texture, reduce pore congestion, clear blemishes, and even out skin tone. It also contains a blend of hyaluronic acid, lecithin, allantoin, niacinamide, glucosamine, lauroyl lysine, yeast, and prickly pear extract to hydrate and soften the skin.
Additionally, a blend of allantoin, bisabolol, niacinamide, and prickly pear extract soothes the skin, while ginger root extract, prickly pear extract, strawberry extract, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid provide antioxidant protection.
The Glow Recipe Strawberry Smooth BHA+AHA Salicylic Serum has a lightweight gel-like texture. It easily spreads on the skin and quickly absorbs without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. It doesn’t pill, so it’s perfect for layering with other skincare products and works well under makeup. Additionally, the serum has a lovely strawberry scent, which is noticeable but not overpowering.
After using the Glow Recipe Strawberry Smooth BHA+AHA Salicylic Serum, I’ve noticed a reduction in redness and bumps, as well as clearer pores and a more even skin tone. I wouldn’t say it has made a drastic difference to the overall appearance of my skin, but it’s still been pleasant to use.
It feels very gentle and hydrating on the skin, doesn’t cause any irritation, and doesn’t dry out my skin, making it suitable for daily use. I do enjoy using it. I mostly buy Glow Recipe products for the sensory experience, and I do enjoy them. However, honestly, I don’t find Glow Recipe products as effective as some others. For example, when it comes to results, I don’t think this serum can beat Paula’s Choice BHA.
Overall, the Glow Recipe Strawberry Smooth BHA+AHA Salicylic Serum hasn’t become a true game-changer for me, but it’s still a pleasant product that I genuinely enjoy using.
