What it is:

Glad2Glow Pomegranate 10% Niacinamide Power Bright Serum is a serum that can brighten the skin. Developed by combining Pomegranate Extract with 10% Niacinamide, it can maximize the process of fading black spots to even out facial skin color. This serum also contains ceramide so it can maintain a healthy skin barrier. The interesting part about this serum is it can be used for ages 13 years (and above). It also claims that it can brighten the face in 2 weeks, suitable for all skin types, dull & sensitive skin. Its hero ingredients are:

• Pomegranate Extract: helps brighten the skin

• Niacinamide: fades dark spots and evens out skin tone

• Alpha Arbutin: helps to maximize the function of Niacinamide

• Ceramide: helps maintain healthy skin barrier

How to use:

After cleansing, apply a sufficient amount of the serum on the face and neck area. It can be used every day, in the morning and evening.

Packaging:

Fancy, sturdy pink glass bottle comes with a safely sealed paper box.

Texture:

Lightweight, watery texture with a slight scent.

Review:

One thing that I really like about this serum since the first time is its lightweight and non-greasy texture, making it suitable for all skin types. The key ingredient, pomegranate extract, as the antioxidant properties, helps combat free radicals and promote a more youthful complexion. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any residue, thanks to the watery texture. It’s also quite economical because I only need 2-3 pumps to use all over my face and neck. Although I am not a fan of the scent, I like how it makes my skin feel plumpy the day after (as always, I like to test during the night time to see how it gives an impact the next morning).

Pros:

• Fancy packaging

• Non-greasy texture

• Absorbs quickly

• Skin feels plumped

• Super affordable

Cons:

• It has scent

• Comes in one size only (17mL)

• In my case, it can’t be used on all time condition (during my hormonal period)

Review:

I like to use this moisturizer both day and night before bed. I admire how it gives extra hydration to my skin and is supple without any greasy residue. Just like the serum, the formula of this moisturizer is quickly absorbed into my skin. Once my skin was in a full redness because of wearing too much makeup, then I applied this moisturizer, it gives extra moisture and my skin feels better the next morning!

Pros:

• Fancy packaging

• Absorbs quickly

• Skin feels hydrated and supple

As you can see from the picture above, my skin was in a bad condition - inflamed skin, acne on the chin. I was quite stressed about it, so I used this combo. I can see that my redness is reduced and I am pretty sure the moisturizer contributes a lot to this. My skin feels brighter and plumpy as well. However, as I mentioned before, I can’t use this brightening series during my hormonal period because the acne keeps on coming, therefore I need to combine it with Salicylic Acid skincare to calm my skin.

In conclusion, if you're seeking a skincare regimen that will help you achieve a brighter complexion, Glad2Glow brightening series is undoubtedly worth considering. Its carefully selected ingredients, gentle formulation, SLS free, Paraben free, Alcohol free, Mineral Oil free, Vegan friendly, Cruelty free, plus BPOM certified.
