Dew with a Hue

BENEFITS

SKINCARE-POWERED TINTED SERUM

Formulated with the same clinically effective base as Dew Drops, Hue Drops adds a sheer, warm tint for skincare benefits with a buildable hint of color.

BRIGHTENS INSTANTLY AND OVER TIME

Niacinamide helps visibly reduce hyperpigmentation, minimize pores, and even skin tone with consistent use, so the glow improves both instantly and long-term.

CENTELLA ASIATICA SOOTHES REDNESS

Centella asiatica extract calms and softens skin, helping to decrease the appearance of redness, making this formula suitable for sensitive and redness-prone skin types.

NATURAL, NEVER STREAKY COLOR

Available in Sun Glow (warm, sun-kissed) and Rosy Glow (illuminating soft pink), each shade is sheer and buildable, flattering a wide range of skin tones without patchiness.

MULTI-USE APPLICATION

Wear as a glow-boosting last step in your skincare routine, mix with foundation for luminosity, apply as a spot highlighter on cheekbones, or dab on eyelids for a wash of color.

WEIGHTLESS HYDRATION

Hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract deliver essential hydration and vitamins, ensuring the tinted formula feels like skincare, not makeup, on the skin.

This serum features the brightening and hydrating power of our best-selling Dew Drops, now in two sheer tints for a lasting, radiant glow. Sun Glow delivers a warm, sun-kissed glow, while Rosy Glow gives an illuminating, soft pink finish—leaving skin brighter, glowing and never streaky or patchy.

Customers Talked About
Reviews Summary
Customers say these hue drops provide a natural, sun-kissed glow with subtle color that blends seamlessly into skin. Users appreciate the lightweight, hydrating formula that works well alone or mixed with moisturizer, foundation, or sunscreen. Many mention the product gives a dewy, radiant finish without feeling heavy or greasy. The bronze shade offers warmth while the rosy shade provides a soft pink tint. Common feedback includes that a little goes a long way and the color appears darker in the bottle than on skin. Users frequently praise its versatility for no-makeup days or as a primer base. Some note the product works well for contouring and creates a "lit-from-within" effect. Most reviews highlight improved skin hydration and texture.

    Amazing

    I love this product! It is so amazing, it makes my skin look so sun-kissed and gorgeous. It looks like I just spent a week tanning when in reality I spent 20 seconds putting this serum on. I 100% recommend this product. There really is no down side it is a little sticky but I holds my makeup really well like a primer absolutely love this

    Super glowy and sparkly

    I had always wanted to try this and just a few days ago I got it and the next day I knew I would absolutely love it. This hue drop doesn't just give you a nice sun kissed tint but it also gives you a nice sparkle and shine!! And the best part is that it doesn't use glitter! Would definitely recommend you to give it a try 🙂
