Is BHA okay for daily use?

While BHA is a powerful ingredient, we balanced the formula with extremely hydrating, gentle ingredients such as Cactus Water, Watermelon Extract, and Hyaluronic Acid to make it a unique, pore-refining formula that’s also super hydrating, leaving the skin hydrated and plump.

Why do I need a toner? Aren’t they unnecessary?

Toners are essential for restoring your skin’s pH after cleansing and infusing your skin with its first leave-on hydration step, and can have other benefits that target skin concerns. Our Watermelon Pore-Tight Toner not only refines the appearance of pores, it also creates a hydrating, supple base for your skin to absorb the remaining steps of your skin-care routine.

Can I use this with Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment?

Just like the rest of our products, the Watermelon Pore-Tight Toner utilizes powerful active ingredients in a super-gentle way. Glow Recipe Skincare is formulated and perfectly balanced to work together in the same routine. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend patch testing them together on the back of your hand before applying to your face.

Can I use the Watermelon Pore-Tight Toner with an acne treatment in the same routine?

We recommend avoiding the use of Benzoyl Peroxide in the same routine as our Watermelon Pore-Tight Toner, as it contains BHA.

Will the BHA in the formula make me purge?

Using BHA in your routine can possibly cause skin purging, especially if you’re new to the ingredient. This period is totally normal, and can last anywhere from less than a week to 4-6 weeks.

Is this toner suitable for sensitive skin?

Our Watermelon Toner is super lightweight and hydrating, and we made sure to use the most gentle forms of BHA + PHA, making it totally safe for all skin types. Always do a patch test before using all over the face

Can I use it everyday?

While Watermelon Toner contains effective actives like BHA and PHA, it’s balanced by ultra-hydrating, nourishing ingredients for an overall gentle formula that is safe to use every day. It’s also balanced to work perfectly with our other Glow Recipe products

Can I Recycle It?

Yes! Our shelfie-worthy bottles are made with 20% recycled glass and are 100% recyclable. Just rinse them after use and place them in your recycling bin. You know the inner plastic lid that prevents your product from leaking? Make sure to recycle it too.

Our cardboard cartons are made with a blend of PEFC-certified recycled paper, free of acids and heavy metal, printed with soy ink, and are 100% recyclable.

Life Changing

I’ve struggled with bad skin since middle school, and I’ve never found anything that worked for me.

I started using this toner a year ago, and it’s changed my appearance dramatically. My pores definitely look smaller, my face is clearer, and my skin looks so hydrated.

Not to mention that it feels so refreshing when I apply it.

Wouldn’t repurchase

When I first started using this toner it was lovely I didn’t see any difference in my pores but it felt very cooling after about 2 weeks I had noticed many spots appearing on my forehead and before using this product I have never had any spots/breakouts on my forehead I knew it was the toner as I had recently added it into my skincare routine and the other products i have used for a few years and have never had any problems with .After a few weeks of red irritated spots it started to clear up I had bought this out my own money so I didn’t want it to go to waste so I decided to try it again and before I knew it I had spots all over my forehead they were so painful and very difficult to clear up it’s quite upsetting as a young girl to have your forehead covered in spots.My skin was perfectly fine before using this product I have never had any problems a few spots here and there but apart from that it was just normal I personally wouldn’t reccomend this product and maybe try the small one before buying the big one I’m not blaming glow recipe for how this effected my skin as it’s not there fault and it has worked really well for others.

I don’t know if it’s me but I got so many spots

I tried the glow regipe toner but safe to say I won’t again! It might just be my skin the fragrance could not irritated it I’m not sure but I gave me really bad spots! At first it was completely fine I got through a mini one and my skin was glowing it was the best it had been in a while so I ordered a big one and it was the same but after a few weeks I started to get spots on my forehead and they wouldn’t go away. My skin might be sensitive to the product but I know this happend to someone else I am no way bashing the product and I know it dose wonders for peoples skin and it did at first for me but this is my experience!! It’s ashame because of how well it worked the first time. But I would not repurchase the spots weren’t worth it. Please don’t take this as hate!
