GLAMGLOW

Helped with pores, as that can get quite unsightly around my nose. You don't have to leave it on for too long, it dries quick. I didn't experience too much irritation unlike some other masks.

TLDR: This is a good, lightweight mask for a boost of hydration morning or night. Doesn’t break me out or irritate, but beware if you don’t like masks with a tingling or warming effect. I like it and will likely repurchase.

A few friends have talked up the Glamglow brand masks in general, which made me curious. After reading quickly through the different ones and what they are supposed to do, I chose this one for my thirsty normal-to-dry skin. I bought the small size that was in a bin in the checkout line at Sephora.

The mask looks like butterscotch pudding and smells just as delicious. Gingery? vanilla-y? Hint of cocoa butter? I don’t know but it makes me want to eat it. I don’t usually use a ton of it, just a thin layer - usually while I’m showering so that I’m steaming my face simultaneously. It tingles and warms the face without burning or irritating. When I feel like it’s been long enough, I take a clean damp cloth and wipe it away. Any residue that is left behind, I just massage into my face and go about my business. Follow up with moisturizer etc.

My skin always feels fresh and looks plump and soft after using this mask. It also doesn’t irritate or break me out as some hydrating masks can. It’s not a particularly rich or buttery hydrating mask, if that’s what you’re looking for. However, it’s lightweight enough I can do it before bed or in the morning getting ready for work.

I’d recommend this one for anyone who wants a little boost of hydration that isn’t greasy. I like it enough that I will likely repurchase once it’s gone.

My skin was perfectly fine before I used this, and I haven't had dry skin in over a year, but as soon as I used this, my face started hurting and now it's super dry. I had a mini size of this and squeezed out the tiniest amount - not even as much toothpaste I put on my toothbrush and tried to massage into my cheeks. Straight away, they started to BURN, not tingle. I immediately washed it off, and then for the rest of the day my face was just super itchy, and now it's the day after and my cheeks are so dry and sensitive.

I think this product is just too harsh and strips your skin. Wish I'd read the reviews first. Would not recommend!

They need to bring down the price. It's a lightweight moisturizer with sheen to it at the end of the day. My skin loves this stuff as it doesn't break me out but in the winter time I need to double up with a heavy duty moisturizer. For what it is, although overall good, is just too expensive.

I am always intrigued by new GlamGlow products, always hoping for a winner given how many people like the brand. The new SuperSerum is very close to being a winner but, like most GlamGlow products, has a few issues to be aware of. This smooths over skin easily and absorbs in about a minute. This has a light fragrance that does dissipate quickly, however, if you aren't familiar using exfoliating serums this is not the one I recommend starting with. The other issue I had with this serum is that I found it to be much more drying (probably from the witch hazel) than my other exfoliating serums. This also has an issue with the Sodium Hydroxide content since it appears so close to the top of the ingredient list. Sodium Hydroxide can cause skin irritation so be careful on this. I recommend (as always) doing a patch test before using this on your face. If you are interested my more detailed video review can be seen here:
