For the best results, use one to two times a week.

Customer Review: “I have to force myself not to use this every night I have extremely sensitive skin (most things labelled safe for sensitive skin are still too harsh for me), and this is a great product. The scent is nice and clean. Extremely moisturizing, I use this 2-3x a week as a leave-on sleeping mask. Once I run out, I'm buying more!”

Ultimately, it smooths and energizes the skin, giving you a healthy-looking, glowing complexion.

Customer Review: “I used this product for the first time last night. I was really hesitant because most masks result in me waking up with at least one new pimple. But, I just got a really bad sunburn on my nose and I was looking for any product in my cabinet that looked hydrating. I woke up and felt my face and 1) my redness went down by 80% and 2). I have had these stubborn remnants of pimples on my cheeks for years and to my surprise, they were completely gone! Which I definitely wasn’t expecting. So I will definitely be using this again. This is the third Glamglow product that I’ve used and so far I’ve achieved amazing results with all of them!”

At first, I was skeptic about the ad so I only bought one facial just to give it a try, and oh my, did this work! This treatment is like anything else I have ever tried!
