Glow Recipe Hey You, You’re A Bright Light Gift Set

 

Give the gift of radiant, healthy skin this Christmas with Glow Recipe’s Hey You, You’re A Bright Light gift set.

Beautifully presented in a pastel pink gift box you’ll find three products to help create a brighter, more even toned complexion.

 

 

Together, the trio help to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and dark circles while offering superior hydration for skin that practically glows with radiance.

The first fruity little gem that’ll set you on the path to beautiful skin is the Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum.

This visibly brightening, silky serum targets dark spots and hyperpigmentation with five forms of vitamin C, guava, and tranexamic along with ferulic acids for visibly glowing, even-toned skin.

 

 

Delivering an effective result with minimal irritation, the encapsulated time-release vitamin C (formulated to remain stable with time) combines with vitamin C-rich guava and visibly brightening tranexamic acid to visibly lighten dark spots and help keep future ones from appearing.

Wonderfully lightweight and silky in texture, the serum is quickly absorbed without a trace, leaving your skin feeling toned and comfortable.

Take your glow to the next level by following the serum with the gorgeous Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream.

This beautiful, wonderfully light cream locks in hydration for plump, bouncy, dewy looking skin.

 

 

Featuring an addictive whipped gel- cream texture,  the formula contains brightening plum, hydrating multi-molecular-weighted hyaluronic acid, balancing willowherb and peptide polyglutamic acid to lock in moisture and boost the effects of the hyaluronic acid.

Perfect for all skin types though particularly combination/oily complexions, the cream offers serious hydration without flooding your skin or leaving it feeling heavy.

Finally, complete your three-step routine with the Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Bright-Eye Gel Cream.

This potent yet gentle eye cream visibly reduces the appearance of dark circles, depuffs the entire area and deeply hydrates for brighter, younger looking eyes.

 

 

This targeted cream features a 10% encapsulated vitamin C complex to lift and brighten the skin around the eye area while a 3% niacinamide blend brightens dark circles and evens out tone.

A duo of peptides and green caffeine help to reduce puffiness by aiding drainage and firming the delicate skin around the eye socket for a visibly more awake appearance.

Silky and light yet rich and comforting in texture, skin feels instantly soothed and smooth, making it the perfect primer for the eye area prior to makeup application.

 

 

Whether you are an established Glow Recipe fan or a newbie to the brand, this gift set gives you the opportunity to experience three of their iconic products without committing to purchasing three separate full size products; try before you buy, if you will!

Glow Recipe’s Hey You, You’re a Bright Light gift set is available now from Sephora and costs £44.30.
