GLAMGLOW Waterburst Hydrated Glow Moisturizer 50g

Product Information

Starting out with no prior skincare experience, Glenn and Shannon began researching and experimenting to develop their own mud mask formula. They found their secret ingredient with green tea leaves, whose skin-brightening qualities were enhanced when steeped in mud.

Key ingredients include jojoba oil, shea butter, probiotics, and a “superberry blend” (blueberry, cranberry and goji) One FlashMud buyer noted that, while she liked the results of the mask, “ The exfoliant beads are quite rough. It hurt my face even though I rubbed super gently to get it off…this thing is [also] HEAVILY SCENTED…I end up with a migraine every time I use it…A mask should be an enjoyable experience, not ending with popping a Tylenol.” Some products (like GlamGlow Super Toner and GlamGlow Gravity Mask) contain very high concentrations of denatured alcohol A lightweight water gel moisturizer for acne-prone skin that is said to instantly hydrate, clarify, and control shine without instigating new breakouts for balanced, healthier and clearer-looking skin A creamy, soothing mask that is said to instantly boost skin’s health, restore radiance, and help promote skin’s microbiome for strengthened skin

GlamGlow uses a variety of both natural and synthetic ingredients in their products, but a few of the key ingredients they use throughout the collection include alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), salicylic acid (BHA), shea butter, jojoba oil, and hyaluronic acid. These are all very commonly used ingredients. GlamGlow SUPERTONER Exfoliating Acid Solution is a pore-clarifying exfoliating acid toner designed to unclog pores, remove dead surface cells in one sweep, and promote a clarified complexion. It is recommended for those with oily and combination skin types. Unfortunately, GlamGlow SUPERTONER Exfoliating Acid Solution has the potential to actually cause signs of aging and excessive oil production due to its very high concentration of denatured alcohol. In fact, denatured alcohol is the second highest concentration ingredient in this formula after water. Denatured alcohol is well known to cause skin dryness, irritation, and even disruption of the skin barrier, especially when used in high concentrations. For those with oily skin, denatured alcohol may seem to be beneficial because it immediately degreases skin. However, stripping your skin of its natural oils can actually lead to increased oil production to compensate for the dryness, which counteracts the immediate degreasing and makes your skin look more oily and shiny than before. The best GlamGlow moisturizer depends on your skin type. Since the GlamGlow Super Water Gel Moisturizer is oil-free, this moisturizer is best for those with oily, combination, and/or acne-prone skin. The GlamGlow WaterBurst moisturizer is great for those with normal to dry skin types due to the inclusion of emollients like meadowfoam seed oil, hazel seed oil, and squalane. And the GlamGlow GlowStarter Illuminating Moisturizer is best for those who want the benefits of a moisturizer, primer, and highlighter in one product. What Are The Key Ingredients in GlamGlow Products? Key ingredients include shea butter, sodium hyaluronate, caffeine, vitamins C and E, and acetyl hexapeptide-8

Another major problem with using high concentrations of denatured alcohol is that this ingredient is well known to cause skin dryness, irritation, and even disruption of the skin barrier. According to a publication in the journal BBA Biomembranes., alcohol disrupts the lipids that make up the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). While alcohol may provide short term benefits, it’s not doing your skin any good in the long run. While Glenn initially wanted to name the company Red Carpet Glow to punch up the Hollywood connection, Shannon wanted to downplay the entertainment industry as a selling point. Settling on combining the more neutral Glam and Glow from the previous name, Glamglow was born. The immediate de-greasing effects of alcohol-based products can actually stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, causing skin to look even more shiny and oily than it was before. This excessive oil production combined with the possible irritation that denatured alcohol can cause may lead to an increase in acne breakouts. Key ingredients include dimethicone, synthetic emollients, jojoba oil, shea butter, vitamin E, and sodium hyaluronateSUPERMUD is a GLAMGLOW mask that’s mainly used to clear blemishes and keep skin acne-free as well as minimize scars and redness. The mask removes dirt from pores and tightens them, keeping oil out of pores and reducing the chance of blemishes occurring. Anyone can use SUPERMUD, whether you have oily, normal, or combination skin. After one use, GLAMGLOW claims that users will notice a visible difference in how skin looks and feels, and lasting results with continued use of SUPERMUD. SUPERMUD can also be used as a blemish spot treatment as well as an allover mask.
