Discover the Secret to Glass Skin
Boots customers are raving about a product that’s become a hit thanks to an online trend of introducing the Western world to beauty tips from the East. Those seeking the coveted “glass skin” look have been singing the praises of a particular “thick and luxurious” face cream.
The Glass Skin Trend
The glass skin trend comes from Korean beauty (K-beauty). It refers to skin that appears incredibly smooth, clear, and radiant, much like a polished piece of glass. The look is marked by a vibrant, healthy glow that seems to emanate from within, with very few visible imperfections such as pores or blemishes.
What’s Behind the Cream
Boots describes this “all-in-one cream” as packed with “good-for-skin ingredients” like rice bran water, ginseng water, squalane, and niacinamide. The brand notes: “These ingredients help to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and balanced. The firm texture sinks into your skin, providing moisture and nourishment from deep within.”
Customer Reviews
- One customer said: “I have hyper-sensitive skin, and it helps soothe it. I put it after vitamin C serum before going to bed. It’s not perfumed, which is great.”
- Another added: “It makes my skin refreshed and looks glowy. Definitely will buy again!”
- A third chimed in: “Keeps my skin hydrated and sits beautifully under makeup – it’s my go-to daily moisturiser!”
But Not Everyone is Impressed
Some customers encountered problems, with one buyer claiming: “It has a weird consistency and isn’t hydrating at all; the product just sits on top of your skin and leaves it sticky.”
Another suggested: “It feels very hydrating but so sticky on my face after an hour or so, since I have oily skin. My skin has also broken out, and I do have acne-prone skin, but before using this cream, I had no spots at all!”
Most Customers Agree
- A different five-star reviewer shared: “Best moisturiser I’ve used in a long time, and I’ve tried a few! It feels thick and luxurious. It does take a few minutes to soak in, but it leaves the most beautiful glass skin behind, that feels hydrated all day!”
- And, one more added: “Very good cream! It’s not sticky, and your skin looks hydrated and nice. I totally recommend it.”
The Rise of Korean Skincare
Korean skincare’s appeal lies in its emphasis on cutting-edge, powerful, yet mild formulas. These products frequently feature distinctive ingredients and a comprehensive multi-stage regimen aimed at promoting lasting skin wellness and achieving a luminous “glass skin” appearance.
Women’s Health reports that Korean skincare has become a hit because some of its ingredients blend age-old natural extracts with cutting-edge compounds. The products aim to pamper the skin gently, reducing redness and swelling, yet still promise impressive outcomes.
What’s Behind the Popularity
- Women’s Health reports that the worldwide craze for K-pop and K-dramas has showcased the coveted “glass skin” look and the skincare secrets behind it to a massive audience, thanks to the power of the internet.
- Beauty influencers have been instrumental in the rise of K-beauty, sharing reviews and beauty regimes for their followers.
