Glow Lab

Not good, looks "natural" but leaves oily residue, clogs pores and causes irritation. Sticking to Nivea/Dove, better tested products.

Soothing glow – Glow Lab are a cruelty free brand that manufacture their vegan beauty products in New Zealand. The Age Renew Soothing Day Cream comes in a glass jar… Read more

with rose gold lid and accents on the label. The jar is packaged in a cardboard box that seems like an unnecessary addition for a natural skincare company that may want to make more sustainable choices to better appeal to their client base.

The cream claims to soothe, strengthen and protect skin, reduce redness and smooth fine lines. I love that the Glow Lab philosophy is to combine science with nature, this is a philosophy I share as a science student. The cream is free of nasties and contains ingredients like liquorice root, ginkgo, rosehip, coconut, shea, ginger orotund vitamin E.

I have dry, reactive skin. I'm prone to redness and flaking if I react to any ingredients. I look for a hydrating moisturiser that leaves a protective barrier on my skin without looking or feeling greasy. The Glow Lab Age Renew Day cream ticks my boxes. The fragrance is soft, natural and slightly earthy, it's very pleasant. I don't react to any of the ingredients and my skin feels soft and nourished upon application. It doesn't cause me to breakout like some of the richer creams do. I really like this product and it's good value for money.

Settles the fly-aways down – Love this product. Contains nourishing Shea Butter to improves hair's overall look once dry. It detangles and controls hair, thus reducing breakage.… Read more

Hair is moisturised and protected. Ingredients consist of Pro-Vitamin B5, Macadamia, Avocado and Jojoba Oils which smoothes and shines to fight frizz, without weighing hair down.

Not what I'd consider buying again – Smells really nice but it leaves my hair oily after 2 days. It is known for this and apparently that oilyness is meant to settle but 4 weeks later -… Read more

still oily. Glow Lab Shampoo Bar Repair has a restoring formula that gives heat damaged or coloured hair a little extra TLC. Keratin protects and strengthens weak strands. Pro-vitamin B5 and avocado oil restore moisture for soft, smooth hair. So back to normal shampoo for me

Really nice product – I tried this as a sample because there seems to be very few things I can use on my face lately that don’t burn or dry it out, even gentle cleansers,… Read more

and I was really pleased with it. It’s a nice, light milky consistency with a lovely smell, it washes off without residue and makes my face really soft, looks purified and still clears up blemishes, my partner even commented on how soft my face was, so as far as creme cleansers go it’s pretty much perfect.

The night cream and the serum are also really nice, I usually don’t like serums because they’re often oily but this was like a balm. I found the face cream a bit too light and the face scrub is good but leaves my skin a bit dry. The body lotion smelt strongly of coconut which I don’t like so much.
