We Found Dupes Of Glow Recipe's Viral Skincare Products

Undeniably the most viral Glow Recipe product, the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops has loyalists that refuse to put it down. What's the magic you ask? It's a niacinamide-infused highlighting serum that's supposed to help with pigmentation reduction and bettering the skin texture while giving a pearlescent sheen to the skin, thanks to the mica it's formulated with. Everyone loves this under their makeup. 

A spot-on dupe of the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops in terms of texture and end result is the Milani Glow Drops Radiance Boosting Serum. It has a similar water-based formula that blends into the skin beautifully while leaving behind that subtle glow because of the mica. In place of niacinamide, you have hyaluronic acid and squalene for hydration for those skin-loving benefits. Coconut water ensure you don't miss out on that fruity fun.

The Essence Hello, Good Stuff! Glow Serum Primer is another great dupe of the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops with niacinamide and watermelon replicating the gel-like formula and making for a hydrated glowing base for your makeup with the pearls or mica.

This is a whipped gel moisturiser loaded with hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid along with the goodness of plum fruit for its antioxidant-rich content. The sole purpose of this moisturiser is to keep the skin hydrated and and help with plumpness while diminishing wrinkles.

The Foxtale Pure Bliss Nourishing Moisturizer can  be considered a dupe with its formula that feels like a cross between a gel and a cream. It's not as luscious feeling as the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream but does the job of nourishing the skin with everyone's favourite humectant, hyaluronic acid. But that's not it, it also has ceramides and niacinamide and kokum butter bringing in the fruit power.

A cream-to-foam cleanser that doubles down on cleansing the skin without stripping it parched, the Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser is loaded with ceramides and hyaluronic acid along with colloidal oatmeal and avocado oil. It is great for dry skin, and does a great job at taking off the grime; but is quite the price to pay for a cleanser.

Aqualogica's 5 Barrier+ Repair Gentle Cleanser too has avocado, ceramides and hyaluronic acid packing in that nourishment while cleansing. However, this one has a non-foaming texture and is more lotion-like (similar to the Cetaphil cleanser). Apart from the similar major ingredients, this one is also quite gentle on the skin and is sensitive skin friendly. 

This fluid sunscreen is a hot favourite on the internet for its lightweight, makeup-friendly formula which is packed with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, glycerin, and watermelon seed oil. It has SPF 30 protection which is decent in our opinion since we personally consider SPF 50 the boss. It is a chemical sunscreen which can be the reason for its thin consistency. In the end, it gives the skin a healthy glow which some people really enjoy.

Though a little far in terms of the finish, if you have oily skin and want to try a sunscreen powered by watermelon's cooling effect then give Dot & Key's Watermelon Face Sunscreen a go. It is a hybrid sunscreen with hyaluronic acid but has more of a semi matte finish in comparison to Glow Recipe's dewy finish. Also, it has SPF 50 PA+++ protection to safeguard you better from the sun's ruthless UV rays. While this might not be the perfect dupe, it does offer you the chance to try a sunscreen with a fruit leading the show.

Alternatively, the Aqualogica Radiance+ Dewy is a great dupe for the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Shield SPF 30 since it has a similar fluid formula that leaves the skin looking like a juicy dumpling. It has watermelon, niacinamide and hyaluronic mimicking the magic of the Glow Recipe susncreen and has a hybrid formula again so you get the best of chemical and physical sunscreens in one.

LBB Tip: Oily skin folks might want to skip this one because it does leave that glowing sheen on the skin.
