Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum Review

Glass skin is defined as the Korean beauty technique of prepping your skin in a way that makes it appear healthy, hydrated and looks practically translucent. It sounds good but honestly it's not a goal of mine because it seems to be more of a trend which can be faked with makeup and I've seen people with not so great skin complimenting themselves for having glass skin. I do think the principle of healthy, hydrated skin with a luminous glow is aspirational but my skin goals go beyond that. My ideal is cloudless skin which is a completely clear, flawless complexion with no discoloration. Unlike glass skin, cloudless skin comes from within, focusing on skin health and vitality while holding a connection to overall wellbeing. It involves healthy lifestyle habits that go beyond skincare like sleep, a well rounded diet and avoiding inflammation triggers. With that said I wanted to try the Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum more so because of it's skincare benefits than it's promise of glass skin.

My Experience
I've been using Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum for about a month in the mornings. It is fragrance-free, clear in appearance with a lightweight, bouncy texture. I like to mix this with my Oskia CityLife Concentrate and apply after washing and toning my face. It absorbs quickly and easily with a refreshing and hydrating sensation. This serum wears well under moisturizer, sun protection and makeup. It does a nice job of moisturizing as well as balancing and does impart a subtle glow. I gave up foundation last summer and my skin is currently in a good place in terms of brightness, clarity and smoothness. While I can't say that this product is responsible, I'm pretty sure that it has contributed to all of this since my routine is fairly streamlined these days.  Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum is a solid skincare serum. I really like it's clean formulation and powerful, clinically proven ingredients that work. And it's $39 price tag won't break the bank. I like it enough that I just purchased another bottle for $19 when it was on sale during Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty.
