MERIT BEAUTYGreat Skin Instant Glow Serum
A lightweight, bi-phase serum that quickly hydrates and visibly plumps skin while helping to leave it calmer, visibly brighter, and more even-looking over time.
The weightless formula absorbs quickly into skin with zero residue, leaving it visibly plumped, hydrated, and prepped for makeup. It's designed to complement The Minimalist (sold separately) but can be used with any complexion product or alone to give skin a healthy-looking glow.
- Shake well.
- After cleansing and before moisturiser, warm serum in hands and press into skin.
- Can be applied after your other active serums to help lock in hydration and help improve texture over time.
Applies like an essence with strength of a serum.
Wears well with makeup or on its own.
For Dry Skin: Use 3 pumps.
For Normal Skin: Use 2 pumps.
For Combination/ Oily skin: Use 1-2 pumps.
- Niacinamide: Helps to visibly brighten skin and refines texture for a smooth, visibly glowing complexion.
- Cacao Seed Extract: Caffeine-rich antioxidant helps to stimulate blood flow for a plump effect.

Not what I expected
Gave it a shake. Hadn’t expected an oily liquid but will give it a go and see how I get on. Smells lovely

Stick with it!
I’ll be honest, I did not like this serum when I first used it. It felt too rich and I broke out for a couple of days. I am soooo glad that I stuck with it because my skin has never looked better. It really keeps your skin soft and hydrated and now I can’t live without it.

Skip
I was expecting a lot from this skincare/makeup priming hybrid. Unfortunately I didn't notice any improvements with my makeup sitting better or lasting longer. Very disappointed wouldn't buy it again. Might try it with different foundations to see if it just doesn't work with certain ones but I dont want to change the makeup I use to get this product to work

Ruined my skin
This has caused the worst breakouts I have had since I was about 13… I got this because of the reviews on here and I can’t believe how bad this was for me- if you are debating definitely get the smaller size first and see how your skin reacts because £34 is a loss when you can’t use the product anymore !

10/10 serum
Very hydrating and looks a smooth silky finish on the skin, no greasy or oily skin just perfection. The best part of this is I can wear it without makeup and it gives my skin a glowy look.

My favourite serum
This is my 3rd bottle of Instant Glow Serum. I have mature, sensitive skin, and this makes my skin feel really comfortable. The serum looks as if it might be oily but it isn't and sinks in really quickly, ready for moisturiser or SPF. It needs no more than 2 pumps.

Gleaming
This is so soothing and comfortable. Initially I thought uh oh too greasy but trust me - it settles into the most gorgeous glow. If my skin is feeling upset this works like a dream to heal and calm. The glow it gives is 5 star. Sits beautifully under SPF and makeup.
