A Breakdown of Hello Glow’s Advanced Rejuvenating Set
Since the pandemic, the rising popularity of rejuvenating sets has set the tone for the local skincare scene. These feature potent ingredients that claim to provide results in as little as seven to fourteen days.
Let’s Breakdown Hello Glow’s Advanced Rejuvenating Set
Are Rejuvenating Sets worth trying? Or do they do more harm than good for your skin? The devil is in the details, so they say! Let’s take a deep dive into a few of Hello Glow’s active ingredients in their Advanced Rejuvenating Set.
Product Highlights & their Active Ingredients
Hyaluronic Acid
This ingredient is generally safe for all skin types. Being included in Hello Glow’s first product to use in the set – their Low pH Hydrating Cleanser (60g), is not new. However, it is something crucial should you look out for in rejuvenating sets.
This type of acid naturally occurs in our skin. It also helps with moisture retention and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
PHA
Or Polyhydroxy Acids, is a type of chemical exfoliant that helps with buffing away dead skin cells. Among the list of popular chemical exfoliants, PHA is dubbed as the gentler alternative (as compared to AHAs and BHAs).
In the second step of the set, Hello Glow’s Get Bright Pore Toner (60ml), they also added Kojic Acid to help with brightening the skin. This should target hyperpigmentation from acne marks.
Ceramide
This ingredient in particular is for keeping your skin’s outer barrier strong and protected from external pollutants or allergens. Ceramide comes in the third step of their set. This is probably the most important one, their Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen (SPF 30, 10g).
When working with chemical exfoliants, using SPF is crucial, or else your skin might burn!
As we do live in a hot climate, it’s good to note that their sunscreen is water-based, mattifying, and oil-free. This also guarantees to give you both protection and hydration without the greasiness.
Centella Asiatica
Another active ingredient in Hello Glow’s Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen, this one is worth hyping up simply for its calming effect on the skin. Apart from its job in restoring the skin’s moisture barrier, its power lies in reducing skin sensitivity. These also include redness, itching, and burning.
Hexylresorcinol
It’s a mouthful, I know, however, this is just a skin-brightening agent and antioxidant that reduces the appearance of skin blemishes. It’s also a hero ingredient in their sunscreen, as it aids in improving your skin’s complexion and lightening dark spots!
Bakuchiol
As featured in their last and final step, the Nourishing Night Cream (10g), this particular active ingredient is a nice alternative (and a good gateway) to using retinol.
It particularly helps with giving you smoother skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles with regular use. It makes sense now why they used PHA in their toner (instead of AHA or BHA), as it would lessen the irritation your skin would get from using rejuvenating sets.
Overall, Hello Glow’s Advanced Rejuvenating Set makes sense as it provides you with a healthier skin barrier, and a supple and smoother skin texture, all while assuring you of quality moisture and protection.
So if you’re looking to try out a rejuvenating set for the first time, this would be a good option for those with sensitive skin.
You may purchase Hello Glow’s Advanced Rejuvenating Set in Lazada and Shopee. You may also purchase the Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen separately as a 50g sachet should you ever run out!
