In this episode, we sat down with Glow Recipe founders Christine Chang and Sarah Lee to talk skin care, injectables, sustainability, and the seven skin method.

The natural AHAs and bromelain enzymes from pineapple also gently exfoliate while the built-in skin soothers (chamomile and aloe) ensure that skin stays happy and refreshed. I think part of this has to do with the rubbing in of the serum since you want to get rid of that white, soapy-looking appearance it has when you first begin to massage it into your skin.

However, this does contain a blend of more-stable, less-irritating derivatives that can still give some antioxidant benefits (protecting the skin from free radicals in your environment) and help with uneven skin tone.

Lee promised me that I would attain "glass skin" using only one or two drops at a time, citing a term that I've been whispering in my sleep ever since trying the 11-step regimen that turned my face into a translucent, poreless masterpiece.Either way, I really enjoyed how quickly it absorbed and allowed me to move on to the other steps in my skincare routine. Pineapple-C Bright Serum, which goes on presale tomorrow (April 1), is the brand's take on vitamin C, an ingredient that's known for being difficult to stabilize.

This is why we decided to combine all of these superpower brighteners together to make the ultimate brightening serum that is more stable, effective, and long-lasting. However, for a Vitamin C derivative to work it's not enough just to be stable, they also have to be absorbed into the skin and be converted there to pure Vitamin C.

The packaging here actually filters out UV light so this should be pretty stable with the stopper in the opening of the bottle there too.

According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more stable and has a longer shelf life, it’s also more poorly absorbed by the skin and may not have the same awesome photoprotective effects as pure Vit E. Depending on your hair type, it can be a bit difficult to wash out and might cause some build-up (btw, this is not true to all silicones, only the non-volatile types). When I woke up the next morning, I could already sense that this face serum was going to be drying for my skin.

O-Ethyl Ascorbic acid, for example, is formulated with a combination of ascorbic acid and ethyl group which helps to stabilize the formula while providing those same skin brightening effects.
