Glow Elixir Facial Serum

$58.00

Barrier repair. Radiance. Perfect gua sha glide.

A deeply nourishing botanical facial serum with calendula-infused jojoba, rosehip, and a grounding blend of hinoki, bergamot, and sandalwood. Use it as your AM serum, your gua sha serum, or your PM hydration layer over Renew. Multi-purpose, barrier-repairing, and genuinely radiance-giving.

Three ways to use it:

  • As your AM serum — applied after Dew, before SPF for deep hydration and radiance all day

  • As your gua sha serum — the perfect slip for your stone, presses botanicals deeper with every stroke

  • As a PM hydration layer — applied over Renew at night for extra nourishment when skin needs it most

Why barrier health matters

Your skin barrier is
everything.

The skin barrier is the outermost layer of skin that keeps moisture in and irritants out. When it is healthy your skin looks plump, even, and naturally radiant. When it is compromised — from over-cleansing, harsh actives, environmental stress, or just daily life — skin becomes dry, reactive, dull, and slow to heal.

Glow was built around barrier repair. Calendula-infused jojoba most closely mimics the skin's own wax esters — it absorbs without clogging and supports the lipid layer that keeps everything balanced. Rosehip brings vitamin A precursors and essential fatty acids that actively support cell renewal. Together they feed the barrier what it needs to function at its best.

"Healthy barrier means everything else works better. Your moisturizer absorbs. Your actives penetrate. Your skin heals faster. Glow is where I start with every client."

Amber, Licensed Aesthetician

Locks moisture in

Jojoba's wax ester structure creates a breathable seal on the skin surface that holds hydration in without clogging pores or feeling heavy.

Reduces reactivity

Calendula's anti-inflammatory compounds calm the barrier response — less redness, less sensitivity, less of the reactivity that makes other products difficult to use.

Supports cell renewal

Rosehip's vitamin A precursors and linoleic acid gently increase cell turnover — the same mechanism that brightens tone and smooths texture over time.

Builds radiance over time

A repaired, well-hydrated barrier reflects light differently. The glow Glow delivers is not from shimmer — it is from skin that is genuinely healthy from the inside out.

The ritual

How to use Glow

Use it morning, evening, or both. With gua sha or without. However it fits your routine it does its job beautifully every time.

"Two drops. Warm between your palms. The scent blooms. Press in. That is the whole ritual."

  • 1

    Cleanse and mist first

    Melt to cleanse, Dew on damp skin. Glow absorbs best into clean pH-balanced skin and works best applied while skin is still slightly damp from Dew.

  • 2

    Two to three drops warmed in your palms

    Rub palms together to warm the serum. The hinoki, bergamot, and sandalwood will bloom. Press into face and neck — do not rub, press and hold for 10 seconds.

    Skin still damp from Dew for best absorption
  • 3

    Gua sha while it absorbs — optional

    If you are using your gua sha stone pick it up now while Glow is still slightly wet on the surface. The oil gives the stone perfect glide and the stone presses the botanicals deeper into the skin with every stroke.

    Pairs with the Glow and Lift Kit
  • 4

    Follow with SPF in the morning

    Give Glow 60 seconds to absorb then apply SPF as your last morning step. At night layer Renew first then Glow on top if your skin needs extra nourishment.

Glow was made
for gua sha.

Glow as a standalone serum is beautiful. Glow with a professional grade gua sha stone is a completely different experience. The stone uses the serum's slip to glide across the face, stimulating lymphatic drainage, boosting circulation, and pressing the botanicals deeper into the skin with every stroke.

The Glow and Lift Kit pairs this serum with a handcrafted moss agate gua sha stone, a technique guide card, and access to the free 5-Day Gua Sha Foundations video series — everything you need to get real results from a consistent daily practice.

Questions

Common Questions

Yes. The bergamot in Glow is the FCF version — furanocoumarin-free — which means the compounds that cause sun sensitivity have been removed. Glow is completely safe for morning use. Always follow with SPF as your last step regardless of what serum you use.
Not if you use 2 to 3 drops and warm them in your palms first. Jojoba is technically a liquid wax not an oil which is why it absorbs so cleanly. On damp skin with the warmth from your hands it sinks in within a minute. If you are finding it heavy you are likely using too much — start with two drops.
Absolutely. Glow is a complete facial serum on its own and works beautifully as your daily AM serum or PM hydration layer without any stone. The gua sha practice takes the results further but Glow stands completely alone.
Yes — this is one of the best ways to use it. Apply Renew first and let it absorb for 60 seconds then apply Glow on top as a nourishing finishing layer. It absorbs beautifully over Renew and adds extra hydration without feeling heavy or interrupting what Renew is doing overnight.
Both are jojoba-based but formulated for different purposes. Calm is a two-ingredient serum — calendula-infused jojoba and vitamin E only — designed for the most sensitive and reactive skin that needs minimal input. Glow has rosehip, the essential oil blend, and is designed for a more active result — radiance, gua sha pairing, and a full sensory ritual experience.
Yes — hinoki, bergamot, and sandalwood give Glow a warm, grounding, botanical scent that is genuinely one of its most loved qualities. Subtle enough for every day. Beautiful.
