Research on lycopene has demonstrated it has powerful antioxidant activity, which can help defend the skin against UV-induced damage. A study conducted by the Department of Dermatology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that lycopene protects the skin through its ability to decrease inflammation, promote cell renewal, and inhibit DNA damage following UVB injury.

Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. As if that wasn’t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis.

When Glow Recipe founders Christine Chang and Sarah Lee were living in New York and working in the beauty industry, they noticed global brands looking to Korea for the latest advancements in skincare and ingredients. As a result, ‘’the whole industry was intrigued, but the K-beauty brands didn’t tell the whole story behind the approach,’’ Lee tells Byrdie. Over on the hydration side, the Glow Recipe Toner uses a trio of nourishing plant-based ingredients (watermelon extract to deliver moisture, cactus water to retain it and good old hyaluronic acid) to plump, nourish and create dew.

Glow Recipe emphasizes the use of fruit extracts in their products — such as watermelon, guava, avocado, and pineapple — but the brand also includes tried-and-true ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, and ceramides. Below we’ll discuss a few of these key ingredients in more detail so you’ll know exactly what they’re doing for your skin.

Both Chang and Lee grew up in Korea, where beauty was interwoven into their everyday lives. Their mothers and grandmothers took pride in their beauty routines, utilizing natural ingredients as much as possible. Witnessing this over the years is what inspired Chang and Lee to introduce Glow Recipe to the world. According to Chang and Lee, their mission was to ‘’introduce the latest skincare innovations from South Korea to the world and offer accessible, best-in-class skincare.’’ They also wanted to educate consumers on K-beauty trends and how to use advanced ingredients to get the best out of their skincare routines.
