WHAT: Maelove The Glow Maker
WHY: In a category filled with confusing terms like “encapsulated” and “stabilized” and “L-ascorbic acid,” Maelove has made an affordable, straightforward Vitamin C product that just, well, works.
If you haven’t noticed, we’re lightly infatuated with Maelove. They make some of our favorite cleansers and oils and generally affordable but results-driven skincare products on the market.
But it all started with this: the Glow Maker. Their cult-status Vitamin C serum.
Along with 15% Vitamin C, the Glow Maker has a concoction of Vitamin E, ferulic acid, and hyaluronic acid, meaning it brightens while providing plenty of antioxidants for warding off free radicals.
And look, they don’t call it the “Glow Maker” for nothing. It truly, honestly, makes the skin actually glow from within. It hydrates and nourishes and is gorgeous under moisturizer and, if you haven’t forgotten what it is, makeup.
It doesn’t hurt that the brand is cruelty-free, vegan, paraben/SLS/dyes/fragrance-free, obsessively researched, and made in the US.
