Overall Opinion:
Overall I feel as if Glow by Dr. Brandt is a pretty good retinol product.
It’s without a doubt above average. However, I still feel there’s room for improvement!
I love how this product clears my skin up and relieves acne.
However, when it came to reducing lines and wrinkles (which is what it’s marketed to do) it seemed to fall slightly short.
It did make my skin smoother and my makeup went on better, however my lines are still noticeable.
Even though this product contains 2% retinol, it never irritated my skin which I love.
I even used this serum every night and never experienced any adverse effects.
I feel, especially for the price, it could have been more potent. However, I was still pleased with my skin.
I really love using a retinol product that’s strong and targets my lines and this product wasn’t quite there, however for sensitive skin or someone newer to using retinol products I recommend trying it!
Detailed Opinion:
Texture/Feel
Glow by Dr. Brandt Overnight Resurfacing Face Serum is a lotion type serum.
It’s very creamy and has a white pigment to it, however it’s still very lightweight.
Application
Applying Glow is really simple.
After you cleanse your skin at night, you apply a thin layer all over your face.
Now, the bottle recommends that you only use this serum 3 times per week. However, I used it every night!
The entire application process takes no more than 15 seconds.
Drying Time
This serum dries really quickly.
As soon as it hits your skin it begins to absorb, and then within 20 seconds it’s dry!
Although it has the appearance of a lotion, it’s never sticky and you can never feel it on your face.
Smell
The smell of this one is neither here nor there.
It’s not my favorite scent, but it’s also not offensive.
It has a bitter, lemon, almost medical odor to it.
However, the smell dissipates really quickly.
Short Term Results
Waking up the next morning after using Glow, I really loved what I saw.
I was fighting a really bad breakout on my forehead when I started using this serum.
Nothing I used seemed to help clear my skin up, and after one use, my acne calmed down and I could tell that it was going to agree with my skin.
Longer Term Results
Longer term I noticed some changes to my skin after using Glow by Dr. Brandt Overnight Resurfacing Face Serum.
The biggest change that I noticed was how much it improved my acne.
Once I started using this serum, it immediately calmed my breakout and within 3 days my skin was back to normal.
That was the biggest positive change that I experienced.
My skin looked very healthy while using this product.
However, I didn’t notice that much of a change to my lines and wrinkles.
My skin did look really smooth and had a glow about it.
I was happy with the changes I noticed. However, I was hoping to see a more dramatic effect to my lines.
Ingredients Analysis
Glow by Dr. Brandt contains pure retinol, which is a good thing.
It contains 2% as well, which makes it slightly stronger than some other over the counter products out there.
It also contains maslinic acid.
Maslinic acid is known for calming skin inflammation and reducing redness.
I think that this ingredient is why this serum helped so much with my acne :)
Shea butter is another key ingredient.
Shea butter has been used for years in order to help protect, renew and hydrate skin.
This serum never dried my skin out and gave it a healthy glow so I feel as if the shea butter was the reason behind that :)
Price
A 1.7 ounce tube of Glow by Dr. Brandt Overnight Resurfacing Face Serum costs $85.00.
Now that may appear to be slightly more expensive than other products out there, however you are getting more, since most serums come in a one ounce container.
This price works out to be $50.00 per ounce. That’s still expensive, but it could be worse!
Guarantee
Dr. Brandt offers a 30 day money back guarantee, which is nice!
You also have to call in and get an authorization form for the return which is a bit of a pain :(
