Product Information

A 2018 study by Women’s Voices for the Earth discovered that in over 3,000 chemicals reportedly used for fragrances, 1,242 were chemicals of concern – and that included at least 7 possible carcinogenic (cancer-causing) agents. Fragrance ingredients also have the potential to cause skin irritation and sensitivity. Where to Buy GlamGlow Products? Lastly, keep in mind that nearly all GlamGlow products contain synthetic fragrance ingredients. While these fragrance ingredients do make the products smell nice, they can be a problem because the brand can use a proprietary blend of chemicals to create the fragrance, and they do not have to disclose which chemicals they use on the label. They are allowed to list this blend as “Fragrance (Parfum)” on the ingredient list. Key ingredients include kaolin clay, activated charcoal, eucalyptus leaves, and a six acid blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids (mandelic acid, tartaric acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid)

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. Plus, you’ll find kaolin clay and activated charcoal in several GlamGlow mask products, such as the popular GlamGlow Supermud Mask and GlamGlow Youthmud mask. Kaolin has excellent absorption properties, which means this clay can absorb excess oil from the pores and help to reduce shine.A charcoal face mask that is said to lift dirt, toxins, and excess oil from pores and loosen dead skin cells to exfoliate and sweep them away, leaving fresh, smooth skin behind

According to Dr. Stacy Chimento, a board certified Miami dermatologist of Riverchase Dermatology, lavandin oil (which is made up of true lavender and spike lavender extracts) and camellia leaf extract contain antioxidant properties. Similar to lavandin oil, Kaolin clay also draws oil from the skin. As a result, it's a particularly beneficial ingredient for anyone who has naturally oily skin or is prone to breakouts. Plus it has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin.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 The highest concentration ingredient (after water) is denatured alcohol, which helps to reduce excess oil on the skin — but not in a healthy way! Keep reading below to learn why alcohol-based products are likely doing more harm to your skin than good For optimal results, it’s recommended to use this GlamGlow mask three days in a row, and then use 2 to 3 times per week

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. A dual-action exfoliating mask treatment that is said to chemically and physically buff away unwanted dead skin cells with lactic acid (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA), and microfine pumice to reveal bright, even glow instantly For example, one review for the GlamGlow Supermud Mask says, “I have been using this mask for about a year now and it has done wonders to my skin. I have very sensitive skin and have struggled with acne for years. I use this mask twice a week and have had no troubles with it drying out my skin or any irritation. It works great as a spot treatment as well if I feel a breakout coming.” An exfoliating clay mask treatment that is said to instantly smooth and polish to revive skin’s youthful glow and reveal soft smooth skin in as little as 10 minutes Similarly, the activated charcoal that’s used in the GlamGlow mask formulations works by trapping toxins and impurities in its millions of tiny pores. Rather than absorbing the toxins, however, activated charcoal works through adsorption (the chemical reaction where elements bind to a surface). Thus, activated charcoal helps to purify and detox the skin.Key ingredients include shea butter, sodium hyaluronate, caffeine, vitamins C and E, and acetyl hexapeptide-8 GlamGlow products contain beneficial key ingredients (AHAs, salicylic acid, shea butter, jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, etc) Key ingredients include dimethicone, synthetic emollients, jojoba oil, shea butter, vitamin E, and sodium hyaluronate Formula also includes mica and titanium dioxide to add a shimmering effect and reflect light from the face, creating the illusion of a smoother, softer, and more radiant skin tone

Key ingredients include jojoba oil, shea butter, probiotics, and a “superberry blend” (blueberry, cranberry and goji) SUPERMUD 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. 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.GlamGlow Super Serum is a silky skin-plumping and exfoliating serum that is said to dissolve dull surface cells and minimize the appearance of fine lines for instantly smooth, radiant skin. This serum features the Super Six Acid Blend, which is a high-potency complex of AHAs, BHA, and PHA. The AHAs include glycolic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, and tartaric acid. AHAs exfoliate the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the stratum corneum) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more radiant skin. Key ingredients include caprylic/capric triglyceride, apple fruit extract, coconut fruit extract, honey, vitamins C and E, and sodium hyaluronate A creamy, ultra-hydrating mask treatment that is said to instantly quench and soothe extremely dry, parched or dehydrated skin
