Avocado Butter + Avocado Extract

Antioxidant-rich ingredients packed with Oleic and linoleic acids to effectively smooth and moisturize dry, chapped skin.

Ceramide-5

Five skin-identical ceramides that help reduce redness by supporting skin barrier health. These ceramides were chosen because they are identical to the ceramides already present in the skin’s lipid barrier, enabling them to absorb efficiently. Each ceramide works to maintain moisture and support barrier function--relieving skin of discomfort and preventing redness from dehydration.

Allantoin

A multifunctional and effective skin protectant that moisturizes and smooths skin.

Rice Milk

Inspired by a K-beauty practice to splash the skin with rice water after washing rice due to its naturally soothing and hydrating properties.

Free Of:

Vegan. Cruelty-free. Free of Parabens, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Silicones, Phthalates, Synthetic Dyes, Fragrances, Drying Alcohols.

Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum is 100% fragrance-free but contains a fresh scent from plant extracts. The scent in the formula comes from natural extracts that also have moisturizing and antioxidant benefits.

What is Ceramide-5 and why do I need it in my skincare routine?

5 ceramides specifically chosen because they are identical to the ceramides already present in skin. Combined, Ceramide-5 acts as the most effective combination of ceramides for the skin barrier. With age, environmental factors, and diet, our skin’s ceramide levels can become compromised resulting in: dry, irritated, itchy, red skin. Applying a topical source of ceramides helps prevent and repair the look of irritation on the skin barrier, while alleviating skin discomfort.

Is this suitable for acne prone, oily skin?

The formula is great for acne prone or oily skin due to its lightweight fast absorbing texture. Research has shown that a weakened skin barrier may contribute to acne formation. Because ceramides are instrumental in skin barrier function, this formula works well on all skin types.

Is this suitable for eczema or rosacea prone skin?

While it’s not clinically tested for eczema or rosacea, the formula is dermatologist tested and clinically proven to significantly reduce redness overtime. Nourishing ingredients like Ceramide-5, Avocado, and Allantoin help keep skin soothed and healthy-looking.

What are the symptoms of a compromised skin barrier?

Compromised skin lacks the ability to protect and maintain itself, which results in redness, flakiness, itchiness, and breakouts. It’s important to use moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides to help seal in moisture and repair the skin barrier.

Is the Cholesterol in the formula vegan?

Yes, this formula is entirely vegan. The cholesterol in this formula is from a blend of plant-derived and safe synthetic ingredients.

I have started to care a lot about the environment recently and I know using avocado is not good for the environment, because it needs a lot of water

Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum

This product works very well and is silky on the skin, the only downside of it is it was unscented. I hope Glowrecipe doesn’t make the rest of their products unscented because of a few people on YouTube complaining about the smell.

Great Addition to Routine

I love using this serum during the summer when I really need to protect my skin barrier. It gets really dry due to high elevation and this helps combat that really well! I may have to bring this over into my winter skincare routine as well....
