Hi Glow Gang 💖
Last Monday, we hosted our Korean Skincare Masterclass with Glow Recipe Co-Founder Sarah Lee and Dermatology PA-C Danna Yang, focused on one thing: our newest innovation, Toner Pads!
Our Customer Care team had the masterclass on one screen and the live chat on the other, and let’s just say… we were taking notes.
One of the most powerful parts of our Masterclass was hearing Sarah and Danna bring two perspectives together: Korean skincare heritage and clinical expertise. Rather than just introducing products, they shared the deeper “why” behind each formula, shape, and ingredient choice.
Here is everything we learned…
Delicately Thin. Flooded with Serum.
All 3 Glow Recipe Toner Pads at ¼ millimeter thick making them some of the thinnest Toner pads Derm Danna has ever tried. The ultra thin design lets them appear almost translucent on the skin, improving absorption and efficacy. Plus, they stay put and pass the no slip test unlike other bulky toner pads.
The best part? They’re drenched in clinically effective formulas. Each jar is saturated with 100 ml of serum—that’s the equivalent of three typical 30 ml bottles! Use the supplied tweezers to remove each juicy pad, and keep the jar stored upright. Our favorite travel hack shared: pop a few pads in a zip-lock bag to bring them on the go.
Gentle Enough for All, Powerful Enough to Transform
Our LHA + AHA Pads blend five exfoliating acids carefully formulated to be gentle enough for daily use. Don’t be intimidated—five acids work in harmony. Derm Danna explains it’s all about balance, combining exfoliation with hydration to prevent irritation. They treat your skin while bringing back that healthy glow.
The pads feature both water-soluble and oil-soluble acids, working on the surface to polish and deep inside the pores to cleanse and unclog. If you’re new to acids, start slow. Use them a couple of times a week before moving to daily use.
Sarah emphasized that gentle does not mean less effective. We tested countless formulas to create exfoliating pads that are both hydrating and results-driven. Skincare should feel good, and a product does not need to sting to work. Too much sting could actually compromise your skin barrier.
Why Our Vegan PDRN Formula Wins
Experiencing redness, sensitivity, irritation, dryness, or other uncomfortable skin issues? Derm Danna recommends PDRN as your new holy grail, including for rosacea, inflammatory skin, and perioral dermatitis. PDRN can also boost collagen and smooth the fine lines that appear when applying makeup.
Sarah highlighted how Glow Recipe’s Vegan PDRN+ Pads deliver incredible results in just 5 minutes. The vegan formula, derived from rice and prickly pear technology, was extensively tested in our lab and showed superior barrier-strengthening and skin-regeneration benefits. In just five minutes, it visibly soothes and repairs the skin.
Both experts agreed that when used consistently, these daily Toner Pads can surpass the effects of in-office procedures that many people travel for. Daily care and maintenance are key. The more you use them, the more you repair your skin from the inside out. Repair, after all, is the word that matters most.
Biggest takeaway from the night?
Gentle and effective can absolutely coexist, five minutes can visibly shift your skin and consistency will always be the glow secret.
If you joined us live, thank you for bringing the energy to the chat. We definitely saw those “adding to cart” moments in real time 😉
With love,
