Glow Recipe is known for its food-forward approach to skin care. By harnessing the goodness in watermelon, pineapple, blueberries, and avocado with science-backed ingredients, its products have taken on a cult-favorite status.
Here at Revelist, we especially love the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask, but its new product will majorly upgrade our beauty rest. Say hello to the new Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol line.
Who needs a house when you can put retinol-infused avocado on your face?
If millennials are ruining their chances at home ownership by eating too much avocado toast, wait till the Olds find out about the benefits of avocado as a skin-care product. Glow Recipe harnesses avocado's naturally luscious texture that deeply moisturizes skin, while oleic and linoleic acids reduce inflammation. We'll keep the apartment while our skin glows brightly, thank you very much.
Glow Recipe is expanding its already-beloved avocado lineup.
Glow Recipe's OG avocado product is the Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask. It's my personal favorite sleeping mask to combat dull winter skin; the rich avocado cream deeply hydrates while the thick texture keeps the rest of my skin-care products from dissolving into the ether while I slumber.
But don't take my word for it! Check out these glowing (ha) Sephora reviews, with words like "OBSESSED" and "WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE."
The new avocado sleeping mask adds retinol to the mix!
I didn't think it was possible to improve on the original Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask, but Glow Recipe has changed the game with its new Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask. The brand also released an eye-safe version of the new avocado retinol mask.
Why do I want to put retinol on my face?
Retinol is one of the best things you can slather onto your skin. It belongs to a family of FDA-approved ingredients known as retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A. Retinoids can reverse UV and acne damage, fade signs of aging, and fight breakouts like no one's business. But it can cause dryness, redness, and peeling, too.
Prescription-strength retinoids, such as tretinoin, can exacerbate these side effects; many folks choose retinol, which is a gentler, consumer-strength version of the same ingredient. It's very good stuff.
Avocados and retinol are a match made in heaven.
Glow Recipe has combatted retinol's propensity for dryness by pairing with luxe, creamy avocado melt. The blissful texture ensures that skin stays hydrated as the retinol goes to work, minimizing redness. It also contains a PHA for additional gentle exfoliation while chamomile and matcha extract soothe your beautiful face.
There's an eye-friendly formula, too.
Retinol is the slayer of fine lines, but it can irritate the eye area. Anyone who's applied too much retinol around eyes knows the hassle of waiting for your eyes to stop stinging before falling asleep. That won't be a problem with the Avocado Melt Sleeping Eye Mask — it's ophthalmologist-tested as safe for the eye area, and it also includes brightening powerhouse ingredient niacinamide.
