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.

For a maximum glow:

On a no-makeup day, apply one to two pumps as the last step of your entire routine.

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).

Reviews Summary
Customers say this serum leaves their skin glowing, hydrated, and luminous without feeling greasy or sticky. Many appreciate its lightweight texture and versatility—using it as a serum, primer, or mixed with makeup for a dewy finish. Common feedback highlights how it makes foundation apply smoothly and keeps skin balanced throughout the day. Users with mature and sensitive skin report noticeable improvements in skin texture and brightness over time.

    My obsession

    This serum is the product that started my obsession with Glow Recipe a few years ago. I love how gentle it is on my skin and how it gives me that glowy glass skin look immediately after applying. I have combination skin. I use it every single day in my daytime routine and I have noticed how much brighter my skin looks. This especially helps calm my skin when it feels irritated from using products that didn’t agree with my skin. I sometimes use this with other serums with no problem and it works well under makeup. It makes my makeup go on smoother and dewy. I don’t even use a primer and my makeup stays put for several hours. I live in the desert and have used this in humid places while on vacation and it worked well in both climates.

    The Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops have quickly become one of my favorite skincare products\. They leave my skin looking fresh, smooth, and beautifully radiant without feeling sticky or greasy. I love how lightweight the formula feels, and it layers perfectly under makeup or gives me a gorgeous natural glow on no makeup days.

    After using it consistently, my skin looks brighter, more hydrated, and more even-toned.The watermelon scent is light and refreshing, and a little product goes a long way This is definitely a must have for anyone who loves healthy, dewy looking skin. Five stars

    I love everything from glow recipe!

    The Glow Recipe Dew Drops give my skin a really pretty glow and work well under makeup. I live in humid Florida and get greasy easily, so I just use a small amount in my dry areas, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised that it doesn’t clog my pores or cause breakouts. My skin is usually sensitive to richer products, so that’s a huge plus for me. It leaves my complexion looking smoother, brighter, and more hydrated. It helps to keep my makeup from cracking in my smile lines, so I especially like to apply it there. It’s a great product, especially for anyone who likes a dewy finish. I got it in a kit of items that I purchased. The small size is perfect since a little goes a long way for me.
