My skin had looked dull and tired for so long that I had stopped expecting it to look any different. I had tried brightening serums, vitamin C in different formulations, sheet masks, nothing made a lasting difference. A dermatologist suggested I try a cream with multiple brightening ingredients together rather than single hero serums because my skin might respond better to a combination approach. She mentioned niacinamide and resveratrol as the ones to specifically look for. I found this on glowandme.in and the formulation had both of those plus several soothing ingredients I knew my reactive skin would appreciate. I started using it morning and night from the beginning because my skin did not react to the patch test at all. By week three my skin looked less grey somehow, more like its actual color rather than a tired version of it. By week six I got a comment from a family member asking if I had changed something because my skin looked different. I had not changed anything else in my routine. That was the moment I knew this was working. My skin is not perfect but it looks awake again and that is enough.
