I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

GLAMGLOW Good in Bed™ Passionfruit Softening Night Cream


I'm not going to lie, I hated it when I first used it on my face--it peeled so bad. And it smelts like fruit candy. The second time I used it, I had to rub it into my skin to let it fully absorb and then my skin is fine. But overall, it's too much work for a night cream. Another thing, if you use other AHA or BHA-skip this night cream that night.

GlamGlow GravityMud peel off mask

GlamGlow GravityMud peel off mask


I'm not a fan of "peel-off" mask but I tried it and it's ok. I didn't see any firming properties but I did feel my face getting the tighten feeling after 10 minutes of using this mask each time. I have to wash my face after using because some some reason, it's hard to peel off all the side pieces. There's always bits left over on the outlines of your face.

Glam Glow FlashMud Treatment

Glam Glow FlashMud

I have been masking more during quarantine and noticed my skin is more brightened. But I'm not sure if it's this treatment mask or if the stay-at-home order is making us not go outside. It has a bit citrus scent and the beads in this exfoliating scrub reminds me of  the harsh st.ives scrub. I will not be repurchasing this product.

Glam glow tropical cleanse Daily Exfoliating Cleanser

 

I was surprised to see this at superfruit cleanser at TJmaxx, so I purchased it. When this product launched, I wanted it but didn't want to pay retail price because I haven't loved their cleansers or wash off masks in the past. I was happily surprised at this wash off light daily exfoliator/cleanser for my dry sensitive skin at night. I will definitely repurchase this multitasker at retail price now.

Glamglow Galacticleanse Hydrating Jelly Balm Cleanser

Glamglow Galacticleanse Hydrating Jelly Balm Cleanser

Wow that's a mouthful of a title! I wanted to try this product when it launched but I didn't want to pay the hefty price tag so I waited until there was a promo code and I ordered it. I love the squeeze tube packaging. It's a thick jelly balm texture that smells candy-like. I don't think it removes makeup well dry or makes my face feel clean after washing it off. You have to use a lot of the product to make the milky effect with water. Very disappointed in this product. I will not repurchase.

GlamGlow PowerCleanse

GlamGlow PowerCleanse

I picked this over the others on the line because of it's dual usage and the green color of the package. One side is the mud mask and the other side is oil cleansing. It's a pump that it's very easy to press once you continue to use it over time. The oil cleansing portion is good for my dry sensitive skin, but this product doesn't have a "WOW" factor so I wouldn't repurchase it.

GlamGlow Waterburst Hydrated glow moisturizer

GlamGlow Waterburst Hydrated glow moisturizer

I love the sleek box packaging. I didn't have high hopes for this because I didn't have much luck with its peel of mask. But it was summertime and I wanted to use a light gel moisturizer for my dry skin. This is perfect for dry to normal skin, I love the calming scent especially when they claim that it uses water from Jeju Island. It sinks into my skin and my skin looks glowing under makeup. It's a creamy texture with blue nymph lily extract and it worked well with my sensitive skin. I wouldn't mind splurging for this product again.
