Glow Recipe Pineapple-C Bright Serum - Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E for Brightening + Exfoliating - Vegan Hydrating Face Serum for Blemish-Prone + Sensitive Skin (30ml / 1oz)

Product Information

Pineapple is rich in natural AHAs and bromelain enzymes that buff away dead skin cell buildup while natural vitamin C visibly fades dark spots. Alongside vitamin C, pineapple extract is said to gently exfoliate skin, while the addition of turmeric (another antioxidant) gives the vitamin C a boost. It does have some very nice properties indeed, though famous dermatologist Leslie Baumann warns us in her book that most of the evidence is anecdotal and the plant might be a bit overhyped.

It is known for its ability to brighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation as well as proactively protecting the skin from free radicals and photodamage that can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Arginine usually has a positive charge (cationic) that makes it substantive to skin and hair (those are more negatively charged surfaces) and an excellent film former.

Keeping those caveats in mind, I spirited my precious bottle back to Berlin, with thoughts of glowing results speeding me on my way. Glass Skin Status - This Vitamin C face serum is Inspired by the K-beauty trend of "Glass Skin," the Pineapple-C Bright Serum contains 22% pineapple juice, pure Ascorbic Acid, and stable 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic acid to reveal a poreless, translucent, and illuminated complexion so reflective skin appears like glass.

In here we have Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, which is an oil-soluble form of Vitamin C, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a doctored version of ascorbic acid that's more stable), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a salt-based derivative and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbyl Glucoside are water-soluble derivatives.

Aldi's popular beauty brand Lacura has just launched a K-beauty-inspired skincare range and yes, the products do look a tad familiar.
