If You Close Your Eyes For Too Long, You Might Eat Glow Recipe's Latest Launch

The Glow Recipe Pineapple-C Bright Serum ($49) is 22 percent pineapple juice and smells like a tropical island, but the really impressive part is the list of ingredients.

If you've never used a vitamin C serum before, now's your chance to finally start getting the benefits of this powerful ingredient. In addition to its brightening properties (say bye-bye, hyperpigmentation), it's also a potent antioxidant that can protect your skin from everyday wear and tear. "Vitamin C is a super antioxidant which protects the skin from environmental damage and prevents premature skin aging associated with UV rays and pollution," aesthetic doctor Saira Vasdev previously explained to POPSUGAR.

Glow Recipe utilized the natural AHA in pineapple to make your skin look even better. An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) is a chemical exfoliant that dissolves dead skin cells, giving you a smoother, softer complexion. "Alpha hydroxy acids are a group of exfoliating acids," cosmetic chemist Stephen Ko explained. "They work by speeding up the sloughing off of dead skin cells and can also increase moisture in the skin over time."

Another perk? When you don't have dead skin cells clogging your pores, you're less likely to break out.

Another fancy-sounding ingredient included in this formula are "bromelain" enzymes. These are simply a mixture of enzymes that are derived from pineapple and are sometimes used in supplement form to treat inflammation.

Hyaluronic Acid is a common ingredient in many skincare products used to hydrate the skin. "In cosmetics and skin care, it helps bind water, increasing moisture in the skin over time," Ko explained.

Lastly, the Pineapple-C Bright Serum contains two calming ingredients: aloe and chamomile. This will combat irritation and sooth your complexion.

We know what you're thinking — any product that's almost a quarter pineapple juice must feel as sticky as the fruit, right? Wrong. Somehow, the team at Glow Recipe created a product that smells like a can of Dole, without feeling like you poured the can on your face.

I would recommend the Glow Recipe Pineapple-C Bright Serum to any of my friends, regardless of skin type, but there are a few kinds of complexions I'd be super enthusiastic about. If you suffer from dark spots, hyperpigmentation, or a lack of glow, this product will help you out. So act like SpongeBob, and get your face in a pineapple under the sea.
