I am always looking for a good highlighter. Like everyone, I want that subtle glow that mimics healthy skin. Some impart more shine than I would like, some I have tried and loved. But still I search for the next best thing. That's is how Glow Recipe's Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops caught my attention.
Sephora says it is “A breakthrough, multiuse highlighting serum that hydrates and visibly reduces the look of hyperpigmentation for a dewy, reflective glow—without mica, glitter, or gray cast.”
Packaging
The product packaging is very cute. For instance, the glass bottle is iridescent, glowing and light pink in color with a pink plastic cap. I love the pump mechanism for dispensing the product.
Formula
Glow Recipe's Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops has Niacinamide, as the name suggests. Niacinamide is a type of Vitamin B3. It helps to reduce hyperpigmentation and minimizes the appearance of pores. Next they also have Watermelon and Hyaluronic Acid which help with brightening the skin and retaining moisture. Moreover all the products together decrease redness, fine lines and improve the overall health of your skin.
This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging.

My Experience
I love the ingredients in Glow Recipe's Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops. It is glowy without being greasy looking. It wears well under makeup or over makeup and absorbs well into the skin.
I tried it for a week, hoping and praying that it would not break out my sensitive skin. I was so glad when it did not. Now I am addicted, I use it over makeup, under makeup as a primer. Over makeup it gives a more luminous natural looking highlight. One of my favorite ways to wear it is on my no makeup days.
Sephora suggests to “Use it as a hydrating, visibly brightening, and highlighting serum for all skin types before moisturizer or as the last step of your routine for a glossy finish.”
