BENEFITS

MULTI-TASKING NIACINAMIDE

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a multi-tasking active that visibly reduces hyperpigmentation, minimizes the appearance of pores, controls oil, supports the skin barrier, and evens out skin tone over time.

GLITTER-FREE GLOW

The highlighting effect comes from the formula's unique emulsion technology and moringa oil, not mica, glitter, or pearls, creating a natural, lit-from-within glow with zero gray cast.

HYDRATING

Hyaluronic acid delivers immediate and sustained hydration that leaves skin visibly plump, supple, and reflective.

SKINCARE-MAKEUP HYBRID

Functions as a brightening serum step before moisturizer, a dewy primer under makeup, a liquid highlighter on cheekbones, or mixed into foundation for a customizable glow.

LIGHTWEIGHT, BREATHABLE FORMULA

The breathable emulsion absorbs quickly and is formulated with moringa oil, suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone.

OPHTHALMOLOGIST TESTED

Safe for use around the eye area. Prep undereyes before concealer for a smooth, hydrated finish.

Reveal a dewy glow instantly and over time with this niacinamide-infused highlighting serum, formulated without mica, glitter, or pearls. This first of its kind highlighting skincare + makeup hybrid helps visibly brighten skin and deliver an effortless glow instantly and over time, while helping to reduce hyperpigmentation and without leaving a gray cast.

This emulsion creates a lightweight, buildable texture that quickly absorbs, making it suitable for all skin types including oily or acne prone. Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops can be used as a hydrating highlighting serum before moisturizer or as the last step of your routine to add an instant glossy finish.

Extra Dew Drops hacks:

  • Over makeup: Pick up the formula, using the ring finger, and dab off excess on the back of your hand. Then gently pat "a drop of dew" on the high points of the face in a tapping motion.
  • As a primer: Apply one to two pumps as the last step in your skincare routine before makeup for a smooth finish and glow.
  • Mix with foundation: Mix "a drop of dew" into foundation for a boost of hydration and glow.
  • For your eyes: Dab a pea-size amount to the center of the eyelid and blend out.
  • For a double highlight: Pat a drop below complexion makeup and layer with a powder highlighter on top.

What in the formula helps deliver the amazing glow?

This emulsion formula contains the perfect combination of watermelon, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and lightweight, non-comedogenic moringa oil to create a reflective complexion without the use of glitter, mica, or pearls (and doesn’t leave a gray cast). The lightweight texture quickly absorbs, and is suitable for all skin types.

Is this suitable for acne prone, oily skin?

Yes! Niacinamide works to help keep pores clear and fresh, making it a star ingredient for those with acne-prone skin. Mica can be especially irritating for those with acne-prone skin, so this mica-free emulsion creates a lightweight, buildable texture that quickly absorbs, making glass skin achievable for all skin types.

What skin type is this product suitable for?

Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops are suitable for all skin types. Niacinamide is a powerhouse ingredient that works to support the skin barrier to lock in moisture & visibly improve skin tone.

Will this layer well with makeup?

Yes. The formula is lightweight and sinks into skin, creating a hydrated, glowing complexion for skincare and makeup. It can be used under or over makeup for a customized dewy finish.

Can this formula be used around the eyes?

Yes! It has been clinically ophthalmologist tested to be safe for the eye area. For a glossy eye look, dab a pea-sized amount to the center of the eyelid and blend out. The formula can also be used under the eye area before concealer.

Is there fragrance in the formula?

There is less than 0.5% of fragrance included in the entire formula. The fragrance is free of harmful ingredients like PTFE/PFOA, Styrene, Polyacrylamide / acrylamide, Acetaldehyde, Acetonitrile, Methylene chloride, Animal fats, oils, and musks, Benzalkonium chloride, Toluene, Resorcinol, Acetone, Butoxyethanol, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Methyl cellosolve, Methylisothiazolinone / methylchloroisothiazolinone, Mercury and mercury compounds (thimerosal), and Bisphenol A (BPA).

    The BEST for that natural glow look!

    If you're looking for a product that will make you look like you have glass skin, this is the ONE! Ever since I added it to my skincare routine, right after my toner, I get so many compliments on my skin. It is also the perfect serum to add to your cheekbones and any other area you want to naturally highlight and give some extra glow. I've bought so many of these, and recently purchased the jumbo because it's just that great.

    Life changing for your skin!

    It’s rare I don’t love products and they just keep coming in hot! This serum instantly after application on my skin it was more radiant and glowy and my skin just soaked in all that yummy product! My make up looks fresher and the glowiness from it makes my make 10 times hotter! Been using this product for months and it’s changed my skin along with other amazing products from glow recipe even healing my irritated red dry skin which I always had a problem finding something that actually works. A serious must try if you wanna literally glow up with your skin routine and make up looks.

    Healthy Glow Every Single Time

    I've been using the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops for several months, and it's become a permanent part of my skincare routine. I apply it in the morning after my serums, and it instantly gives my skin a fresh, hydrated glow that looks healthy rather than glittery or overly shiny. One thing that really stands out is how well it works with makeup. Whether I wear it underneath foundation or on its own, my skin looks more radiant and my makeup applies beautifully. It never feels sticky, absorbs quickly, and layers perfectly with the rest of my products. Over time, I've noticed my complexion looks brighter and has a more even appearance. The lightweight texture and reliable results keep me reaching for it every day. I genuinely have no complaintsβ€”it does exactly what it claims, and it's one of my favorite Glow Recipe products. I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants glowing, healthy-looking skin.

    Skincare Staple

    After using this product for a while, I notice how clear and hydrated my skin looks and feels. I always use this product after the Watermelon Toner and before the Watermelon Milk Moisturizer. This product has done great things for my skin and will always be a skincare staple for me!
