I just want to make a gentle comment and reminder that not everyone has her highly sensitive skin and super dry skin so simply because the products didnt work for her doesnt mean that they wont work for you. I personally love the glow recipe line and it has done wonders for my skin. Granted i have super oily skin with lots of acne scars and hyper pigmentation.
Totally agree! I have the same skin concerns as you and I personally really like their products! Different things work for different people
@Mellzies what products did you use?
I agree I watches a lot of videos and everyone has a opinion
Absolutely babe ✌🏻🤩🙏
i agree, i have the same skin type as you and glow recipe has been my holy grail brand for a long time
I'm loving that neon orange eyeliner!!
Thank you! It’s from SUVA! 🧡
It’s such a look!!
Along with the orange blush 😍 loving it!!
@@thebeautybreakdown how many other colours do they have?
I didn’t love it for my skin, but it has done wonders for my daughter’s skin. I think as a reviewer it’s important to remember products need to be tailored to each person’s skin. I didn’t like the smell at first but then found it refreshing.
The watermelon sleeping mask is my favorite product I’ve ever used. I don’t mind the scent and I like the gel mask feel I don’t think it feels like silicone. When I use it it’s the only product I put on my face. I let it alone for 10 minutes and then put a second layer to keep moisture in. Then sleep with it on. It’s a literal facial in a mask. I wake up lightly peeled and my complexion is so much better. I have normal skin and acne scars.
So happy to hear it works for you! Skincare is definitely personal 💓
I personally love the scent
It didn’t work for me. It dried out my skin, and I got blackheads because the silicone glue didn’t sink in.
I don’t understand the negative reviews. I’m 45 and have dry, flaky skin. I love their moisturizer & dew drops, & it makes my skin look plump, healthy & glowing. I didn’t have any issues with layering at all. I mix a small amount of dew drops with my foundation, & it looks beautiful. To each their own I guess. The smell is nice, & I found that once it’s applied to your skin, the smell dissipates almost completely. For every negative beauty review for these products, the majority of reviews I watched before buying were very positive. This product has been a lifesaver with my flaky skin this winter. Definitely recommend!!!!
Everyone's skin is different...what works for some people may not work for you. Their cleanser is AMAZING for my skin and I adore it, but my friends can't use it because it either breaks them out or strips their skin. Likewise, a few of my friends love the Vitamin C serum but I can't use it because it literally does nothing for my face and I'd be wasting money by getting it.
I agree I'm 42 , and love them so much and I'm a skincare FREAK
My husband has been using these CBD Products from Weedborn and is extremely delighted.
Hey Morgan! Love your brand reviews because they're just so honest and straight to the point! Could you do one on farmacy beauty?
Thanks for the honest review! I love my Glow Recipe watermelon products. I also have highly reactive skin. As a matter of fact, I am on Dupixent becuz my skin is so allergic to the surgical masks I wear at work. I was so pleased that my skin did not react to Glow Recipe watermelon and I enjoy the scent (I can’t eat watermelon btw) lol.
I thought I was going crazy when I got the watermelon line and didn't really enjoy the smell. Your description is so accurate: it's like an artificial watermelon jolly rancher. But I love the product anyways bc it's feels so nice! Personally I don't mind fragrance (in fact I kind of like fragrance) but this just doesn't smell like the "fresh watermelon" they advertised about at all.
My skin seems to like the watermelon sleeping mask - really goes to show how different people are when it comes to skincare. The avocado melt eye mask was too rich for my eyes though, and I ended up getting millia! I liked the banana souffle because it reminded me of banana milk!
This makeup look is EVERYTHING!
What do you guys think of these full collection reviews? Let me know what other brands you'd be interested in!
LIVE FOR THEM
A review on either make p:rem / moonshot / isntree for example would be great 😄
Also, I’d love to hear about chemical exfoliation or how to layer active ingredients for dry / sensitive skin (like are BHA okay to use for blackheads or too irritating?) 🙂 most info out there is centered on oily skin 😅
Thanks for your amazing content!
Summer Friday’s and Saturday skin!
Love them! Especially when it's kbeauty available at Sephora!
Love videos like this!!! I can’t remember if you did tatcha but if not tatcha!!! Also drunk elephant pleasee!
I love the Watermelon Sleeping Mask and the Dew Drops, but the Watermelon Toner actually caused a burning sensation, i have combo skin and it dried my face out so bad i can’t use it
Love your makeup for this video. Your review kind of reinforced my impression of Glow Recipe as a brand - middling products that are WAY overpriced. I always thought their products were priced $10 to $20 more than they should be. Doesn't look like I'll be buying their products anytime soon.
I found the only way for me to really use the watermelon sleep mask is to use minimal products in my normal routine (double cleanse, toner, moisturizer - usually the watermelon moisturizer from this line) and then waiting like at least an hour and then putting the mask on. I definitely like the avocado one better, but I like this one for the summer since it’s that thinner texture.
I love your makeup! I tried pulling off something similar... but my undertones dont work out xD you look georgous!
I would really like a little tutorial on your makeup :>. It looks really nice and cute
i tried the watermelon sleeping mask, watermelon sheet mask, and avocado melt mask. they all burned and irritated my skin :(
i have dry, sensitive, and acne prone skin. the watermelon products wasn’t moisturizing enough n it itched. the avocado melt made my whole face feel like i shoved it in an ant hill lol. i was bummed bc it was expensive n i actually like the smell lol
i just use pyunkang yul, cosrx, and missha
I'm sensitive and normal to dry ..what retinol do U use? Whats ur routine would love to see what U use
I have the Plum Plump and same skin type (dry-sensitive). I agree that it is pricey, but mine IS sticky and I can’t rub it without having white streaks on my face (the streaks do go away). I was surprised that it rubbed off clear on your hand 🤔
I love this comprehensive brand reviews! so helpful! I have always been curious about glow recipe but the higher price tag put me off. Not that I wouldn't spend more money on a product but the only reason I would spend more is if it was genuinely AMAZING. I'm ok with Innisfree its affordable, and I don't mind the scents usually. Also my skin hasn't reacted in a very negative way to their products. Thank for this video! Have you heard of the Korean brand Yadah? I've been curious of a bunch of smaller indie Korean brands lately! just an idea! thanks again love your work
Your makeup looks amazing ❤️
So true, I only use products with fragrance because I just love scents in general and my skin can take fragrance.
The only products that worked for me are the Avocado Eye Mask & face Mask and the Watermelon mask/moisturiser. I had a reaction to the Toner 🥺
Good review 👍🏻
I wish glow recipe would come out with products that don't have aha. I was also very worried about layering products but I enjoyed the products I tired.
The toner: I also found very harsh on my skin, so I switched to using it once a week and I've noticed that my skin is much smoother.
Vitamin c: I really loved it! And I actually like the smell hahaha 😅 reminds me of pineapple filled breads.
Banana cream: I enjoyed it. I don't think it's life changing but it is nice. As someone who's not a fan of Banana smells I can hardly smell it. Whenever I use the watermelon products I can smell it for a while after application, but the moisturizer I can't smell unless I purposely sniff it. Your description of it smelling like Laffy taffy was spot on
I never used Glow recipe due to the price, but was always curious about the retinol and vitamin c products, and the banana cream. But retinol is soooo low down on the ingredients of the sleeping mask
I think I will stick to my Innisfree,Coserx and Beauty of Joseon. 😏
Nice suggestions! :)
I love your opinions whether you like something or not, but the most important thing for me is I VALUE and respect your opinion Morgan. You’re honest and I subscribed to you because of your K-Beauty Skincare content in the first place. I actually don’t mind fragrance but like you said I think it’s a very personal choice and depending on your skin type. Thank you for doing this, I’ve always wanted to pick up something from Glow Recipe but was never sure what, I do like the sound of their Sweet Chef line and I’ve heard great things about those products so maybe I’ll lean more towards that line instead. Thank you again and have a great weekend Morgan! Xx
that banana moisturizer did NOT work for me. i have oily combo skin and it just never really sunk into my skin. i would not recommend for my oily/combo friends :(
For all the same reasons that is why I steer clear of glow recipe products haha glad i’m not the only one who feels the same way!
I use that watermelon mask in the morning for 15 minutes instead of at night I don't like it as an overnight mask but like it as a morning mask a few times a week x
What do you think of Seoul cleansing balm , by the beauty spy?...
What cleansing balms do you like? I remember you liking cleansing oils, but would love to know more about balms!
Hi ... I loved your video and found a lot of what you were saying to be in alignment with my experience a bit. I am an OG user of this line, since 2017. My first product purchased was the Sleep Mask you spoke about. I actually didn't mind the smell, but the pilling you spoke of I noticed that immediately. I also feel the same as you about the silicone type feeling of it. It's strange! Again, started to use it in 2017 and went through several jars, finally to notice it didn't do anything at all and I also applied several layers. I personally now find a much better experience by using a lightweight moisturizer and apply Vaseline (slugging they refer to now) to my skin. Now THAT is an experience when you wake up. I have never had my skin look so good with that cheap method. Whether you put any ingredients beneath it or not. I will say it feels refreshing, but then it goes away. I also decided to try to Dew Drops as well as the Moisturizer from the Watermelon line. I have to be honest, although it all feels nice on the face, it all absorbs very quickly and I have NEVER noticed any skincare benefits at all from this brand. I think I was just initially intrigued because it "felt nice" so since it felt nice it must work, was my stupid theory. I have tried these things and really just wasn't impressed. I have combination skin, leaning towards dry, and I do not like all the added BHA either due to moderately dry skin (nothing bad but it definitely made it worse). I feel like this line is so overhyped. Some of it is OK beneath makeup, like the Dew Drops, but that's about the extent to me. To note: I do not have sensitive skin at all and the smell is ok with me, but the products are over priced and don't really do a thing?
Thanks for posting this brand review! I find that glow recipe products get pretty hyped up because of their aesthetic and sort of gimmicky products. For me personally, their products aren't horrible. They work just fine and the fragrance doesn't bother me too much. I did really enjoy the face mist. It just doesn't feel like it's worth the higher price point.
I use the plum serum, blueberry cleanser, avocado eye cream and the watermelon mask. I think it is worth the price tbh, the products have lasted me a long time and they rlly make my skin feel better and the eye cream works very well.
I really liked the video.I would love to see more in this format, maybe CosRX?
Good thing I just bought the smaller bottle of the avocado sleeping mask. It makes my facial skin itch sooo much.
Glow Recipes fragrances are a hit or miss for most ppl. I like the concept. However, Fragrance products eventually break me out anyways with my sensitive skin and all. It’s okay if it’s trying to hide other smells but I really don’t want more dark marks or sensitivity.
tysm for helping us understanding what’s better for our skin ❤
I have tried a few products from this brand and non work on my skin... don’t like the smell too, esp the blueberry one
The only product I liked was the blueberry cleanser. Otherwise it’s just kinda average and easily replaceable
Most of their products don’t work for me!😞 tried hard to like them but couldn’t and the guava serum irritated my skin so bad though I’m a chronic vitamin C /retinol/acids user
Hey 👋 🥰 I can relate about sensitive eyes. The only eye retinol I can tolerate is the Murad retinol eye serum. You can use it 360° around the eye including the eyelids! Does anyone else love the Murad retinol eye serum?
Glow recipe products damaged my skin. It’s still in recovery mode months later. I can’t believe how bad it is :(
The orange eyeliner is so so good! 🍊🥕🍑
Where’s the orange eyeliner from????
Will you do a target skincare video? I'm interested in Sweet Chef and Versed and have not seen much about them!
Sweet Chef was founded by the same people who founded Glow Recipe!
Morgan, I’m new to makeup. Is your skin tone considered warm or cool? This peach orange suits you so well
she looks like a warm but there’s a chance she could be neutral
Warm neutral probably
New viewer so just asking - is she a skincare professional or just a beauty youtuber?
i feel like glow recipe is over-hyped, if u look at the ingredients there are more fillers than active ingredients. i dont mind the smell but everytime i use the watermelon range, i feel that it does nothing for my face
totally agree! it's so hyped up and aesthetically pleasing that i almost bought their watermelon products when they first launched. im so glad i never gave into the hype as someone who has sensitive skin. not impressed with their ingredients and my skin cant handle fragrance even it's "only a little bit"
What do u recommend
I’ve tried several Glow Recipe’s products myself, but I have combo/oily acne prone skin. Personally, I don’t mind subtle/light fruity fragrances and don’t have sensitive skin. I didn’t like the texture of the watermelon sleeping mask either.🙁 I have the avocado sleeping mask, which is a bit heavy on my skin. However, I got it because of the encapsulated retinol. The banana cream was ok, but again it was a bit heavy on my skin type.😐 I’m currently using the papaya cleansing balm, and I like it. The blueberry cleanser was nice as well. The pineapple serum was quite good.🙂 I guess it depends on skin type, expectations, and personal preference on whether or not a product is good or bad.🤷🏻♀️
Stratia Night Shift is an encapsulated retinol in a ceramide and cholesterol base. It's in an airless pump. You may like it if you are looking for a new encapsulated retinol.
artchick07, ooh that sounds really nice. i'm going to go check that out...
@@LaciRae I believe there are several reviews on TH-cam for it. That's how I found out about the product. I really like it when I've been doing my 12-hour work days as a all-in-one product
I was sooo hesitant to try out the banana moisturizer because I reeeeeally want to!! but if its a miss, its an expensive miss :/ but I think I'll order it now (I have oily skin)
Can the Glow recipe Watermelon mist be opened? and another product decanted?
Nope, couldn’t open mine. The sealed part itself is not a screw top. The fact that it stands with the lid side down probably contributes to it so that there aren’t accidental leakages. Tradition spray mists don’t need to worry about that since they’re lid side up.
Hi there the avocado isn't discontinued its sold here in Canada a few variation for skin but we have the one you love
Very helpful video. Thank u, Morgan!
What blush is that?? So pretty
what eyeliner are you wearing!
Love the neon eyeliner! What did you use?
It’s from SUVA! 🧡
Idk why everyones bashing these products.... they’re literally amazing and they have improved my skin drastically.
I just ordered them she made me so scared….
@@camdenb5752 they are so worth it girl!!!! Only thing I use on my skin!
It goes to show you how people very different reactions and preferences to products. Glow Recipe has become my holy grail brand. It amazes me scent is such a big issue to people and that some people in reviews throw it out for the fragrance without even using it. I understand if it breaks you out, but smell is no issue to me so long as the product works as intended!
Everyone isn't bashing them, however it's overpriced, overhyped brand. I have used them since they released their OG Watermelon night mask and tried several other things. They feel good on your face but if you're looking for true skincare benefits, there really isn't much in them to me.
@@jenca1111 the brand fucking roped me into thinking I needed 6 steps from them ALONE to see results. I was new to skincare my skin barrier is ruined I returned everything switched to Tatcha Rice Wash and Dewy Cream
Is this by Innisfree? The products she's using?
It says on the label watermelon so why did you buy if you don’t like?
I've always maintained that the Glow Recipe Pineapple Vitamin C Serum smells like barbecue chicken marinade.
Smells like pineapple fried rice to me lol 😂
I personally did not like the Glow Recipe products. They were all overly scented and the masks/lotions caused a lot of pilling and did not work well with other products.
I really like their sister brand, Sweet Chef! It’s more affordable and they don’t have fragrance. I think their cleanser is the only product that has minimal fragrance.
unfortunately most of their products contain essential oils as fragrance :/
bummer, but at least their price point is much better!!
@@reemi1998 very true! I believe it’s lavender and it’s usually the very last ingredient. My skin doesn’t mind it but I can definitely see it being irritating for those who can’t use or prefer not to use any fragrances - synthetic, natural, or essential oils 😔
I love this review 😊 with that said can I buy off the watermelon stuff off you lol 😝
I would choose a fragranced product over an non-fragraned product if everything else was even. I enjoy the three Glow Recipe products that I've been using. Dry skin but it's not overly sensitive.
Ou my products are not the same colour ... have I been using expired moisturizer 😕
i got really sensitive skin but their products work great on me :D
I'm not a fragrance in skin care person. But glow recipe got it right for me. It's stunning and fresh and clean and I like that it's only 0.05 of the product
Used the papaya balm too didn't love was thick n dryish and it went bitty on the face
Could u make a all sunscreen video?
Thank you so much for making this incredibly detailed and honest review! 🙏 As someone with very dry skin, I just haven't been blown away by Glow Recipe's products, especially for their premium pricing. Everything you said about their Watermelon line spoke to my soul 😂 I only like their Mist (for the fine spray), Niacinamide Serum (for a makeup primer), and Lip Balm. ❤
Can review some honest company skincare or makeup
Fragrance isn’t a deal breaker for me, but effectiveness to price sure is haha
This toner breaks me out every time I use it :(
I get why you wouldn't like the scent in the products, but your first description of the mask you said that you did not like it as if you put something on top of it --it would pill. Ummm , it's a mask so I wasn't sure what you meant unless I misunderstood you. Having said that I loved the video and you explained things with such clarity!
I returned everything, the company roped me into thinking I needed 6 steps from them ALONE and it seems like every. single. one. of their products has HA in them and my skin is mildly sensitive, mildly dry with mild redness/rosacea. I was NOT impressed after 4mo of use my skin barrier was destroyed. I switched to Tatcha Rice Wash and Dewy Cream, along with using the Supergoop! Every. Single. Face. watery lotion!
Plz make a video featuring retinol products ur skin does tolerate. Thank u ☺️
I’m obsessed with glow recipe they everything 💞😍🛍
Can you do Tatcha next? :)
Yes! I’ll look into it :)
that would be cool. but so expensive to acquire unless they sent it all to her.
I’m legitimately curious if this channel is focused on the negative during reviews not trying to knock you just was looking for more info on Glow Recipe came across this video and it was like all negative not who it’ll work for and or if there’s some good in there. And the fragrance was like every other sentence just some criticism. I did think you did a lot of research and you’re gorgeous and well spoken. Maybe it’s just a trash brand in your opinion I was just curious or is this channel more relative to makeup with skincare?
I love so many Glow Recipe products: avocado is for sure my fav, but the watermelon niacinamide just clogged up my pores and my skin didn’t like it at all the rest I love
Hey girly! My face broke out 2 days after using. I wasn’t sure if it was because of all of them or just certain ones that broke me out.
@@kiaranedd3852 I don’t like it either, just didn’t work out
Your makeup is bomb! What blush and lip product did you use?
I love the banana smell I was worried it was too banana scented but nope, Sportsgirl have a dupe for it I have it 😃
I have a few products from glow recipie … and I actually like them I have normal skin so I didn’t notice any issues . I hope you can find a better line for your skin type and more bang for your buck
This way you did eyeliner is 🤩 on you
The watermelon is so so faint in scent I cannot believe how much you made comment on it 😭
Huh, these are pricier than I expected. If they were a bit cheaper I would've tried something, but now I'm kinda meh about it.
I was pretty hesitant at first but I caved when I saw mikayala from TIKTOK try the dew drops and the toner. Honestly, I struggle from super dry facial skin and the trio she recommended helped me so much and pretty quickly!
The Glow Recipe Toner literally saved my skin!
I was very disappointed with these products too. Way way too scented for me. I luv fragrance in my face products. But these were way too much.
Didn't love the plum serum was like so thin n watery did eff all on my face
I have the watermelon niociminide and didn’t even realize it has a scent 😂
Lord, please free this brand from the shackles of putting BHA, and AHA in all their products........
You're telling me. I got roped into thinking I needed 6 steps in my skincare routine just from them ALONE. It all ruined my skin barrier because they claim it's all good for all skin types. I use the Tatcha Rice Wash and Dewy Cream now with my Supergoop! Every. Single. Face. watery lotion
It's really nothing more than nice packaging. The products are mediocre, at best.
Glow Recipe recently available in Malaysia Sephora, i was thinking about it. Now...
Umi Salmah, if You like the scent of watermelon/banana & the consistency didn't look off putting, then there is no reason not to try it. she didn't like that some of the products had active ingredients in it when she'd rather get her active ingredients from other products. but if You don't feel the same, then it doesn't matter. i have the entire line & love it.
@@LaciRae yes, i bought set from cult beauty, i love the banana thing in the pot. Very small. Will consider to buy the big one. I agree with her on the consistency weird especially the sleeping mask.
Umi Salmah, i do prefer the consistency of the avocado mask over the watermelon one. especially during winter when my skin gets drier. but i think the watermelon consistency is kind of nice for summer.
@@LaciRae maybe i should try Avacado for my next purchase, tq on ur recommendation 🥰
That toner stinks can't stand the smell! Lol I agree with you the bottle looks like lube (mist)
Yes I just needed this vid
Am I the only one that thinks the toner is just pure grease 😩
I burn a candle when I do my face to get the "sensorial experience" without irritating my skin.
