What are the benefits of using dual-encapsulated vitamin C?

Dual-encapsulated vitamin C in Guava Serum creates a slower release of the ingredient, meaning less potential irritation! Once the dual-encapsulated vitamin C is absorbed, natural enzymes found in our skin slowly release them one layer at a time. The slow release minimizes skin irritation and protects the water-soluble vitamin C longer, thus making it more effective. This way your skin isn’t overwhelmed with vitamin C and can use it more effectively. Including multiple different oil and water-soluble layers in this formula means better skin absorption as well!

Are there any other ingredients to avoid when using this serum?

Guava Serum is totally safe and gentle to use in a routine with other Glow Recipe products! When it comes to mixing with high percentage retinoids or chemical exfoliants, we recommend patch testing first before using them together. You can always use Guava Serum in your morning skincare routine, and use other actives at night too.

Can I use it day and night?

Yes, Guava Serum is safe to use twice a day! If you’re new to vitamin C serums or have sensitive skin, we recommend using it 3-4 times a week and gradually increase the usage. During the day, always remember to wear SPF!

What skin type is this suitable for?

Guava Serum is suitable for all skin types looking to target dark spots and hyperpigmentation, even out the skin tone, and get an antioxidant boost! It has been clinically-tested and proven non-comedogenic, and tested to be safe for sensitive skin. Always be sure to do a patch test before using new products all over the face!

Does it contain fragrance?

Guava Serum does not contain added fragrance, however there is a natural fresh scent due to the skin-beneficial plant extracts in the formula. It is also 100% free of essential oils!

At Glow Recipe, we’re committed to glowing responsibly, creating products that are good for your skin and the planet. In partnership with Pact Collective, we aim to give your glow empties a second life! To learn more about our sustainability initiatives click here

What the!?!

Can u just say satin that this works like magic on my skin? I have dark spots on my face and after a week of using it, it’s cleared up a lot! Mind I tell you, it’s not an eraser obviously, but it sure helps lightening up my skin! Another keeper!

✨Glow up your skin ✨

I have hyperpigmentation on my skin and I definitely needed a product like this. I have used it for weeks and my skin no longer looks as dull as before, and it also leaves my skin hydrated and soft. 💅💕

Its texture is that of a gel that is also milky, it is absorbed well into the skin, and it also has a subtle and fresh scent.

Does not fade dark spots

Smells good, feels good but it did not fade the dark spots on my face. I bought four bottles and have just finished the final one and there is no difference. Needless to say, I'm moving on and trying something else.
