Watermelon

Packed with protective vitamins A and C, skin-plumping amino acids, and the phytonutrient lycopene. It helps moisturize, plump, soothe, and treat fine lines and wrinkles.

Niacinamide

A powerful vitamin and antioxidant that evens out skin tone, helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation/dark spots, soothes skin, brightens dullness, minimizes the appearance of pores, and supports the skin barrier.

Hyaluronic Acid

This holy-grail, high molecular weight hydrator contains moisture-binding properties and can hold 1000x its weight in water to reveal supple, bouncy, and visibly plump skin.

Moringa Seed Oil

A non-comedogenic, lightweight breathable oil that contains Vitamin E to help hydrate and soothe skin.

For a natural glow and brightening serum:

Apply one to two pumps as the last step in your skincare routine before makeup.

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% natural fragrance included in the entire formula, and we extensively test each ingredient to assure they’re safe for all skin types to use, including those with sensitive skin! Our Watermelon Dew Drops Niacinamide Serum has the same classic watermelon scent as our Watermelon Pink Juice and Night Treatment.

I have been using the Niacinamide Glow Drops for close to a year, and there is nothing I don't love about them! They leave my fair skin looking illuminescent in a "glow from within" way that exudes health, and they create an almost blurring effect on my post-acne dark spots. I've never gotten compliments on my skin before, until I started using this product! …Do yourselves a huge self-care favour, and give these Dew Drops a go!

    I have finally found a silky hydration face cream that's worth writing about. I'll never use anything else on my face....I'm loving the dew hydration drops and also the watermelon dew mist that's both just wonderful.

    Now I'm having to try the Glow Recipe line because this is like putting silk on my face...I'm really loving this brand. Thank You Glow Recipe.

    Rush

    I’ve been using this serum for a long time and have always loved it — I’ve gone through several bottles without any issues. But the most recent one I purchased seemed different. After using it, I developed irritation and red bumps on my cheeks, which I’ve never experienced with this product before. I’m not sure if the formula changed or if I got a bad batch, but my skin definitely didn’t react well this time. Super disappointing since it used to be one of my favorites.
