Details & care

What it is: A skin-care formula designed to make your complexion glow thanks to deep hydration, nourishment and pore refinement.

What it does: The potent compounds in Glow Drops promote improved skin quality and health, while your skin enjoys long-term glow thanks to ingredients like purslane, bisorta root, rosa canina and sweet almond oil.

How to use: Use as a finisher to your skin-care regimen and as a touchup throughout the day. Place a pipette length of formula in the palm of your hand and spread over your face, eye area and neck, gently patting in. Apply following your moisturizer for a lit-from-within glow, over your makeup or combine with your preferred skin-care regimen.

It really works!

I think people misunderstand this product. If you're expecting an instant result, you may be disappointed. This product takes about 20-30 minutes to show results but once you see them, they're incredible. My first day of using this I wasn't expecting much because of the mixed reviews, but I put it on and just went about my day. About an hour later, I happened to glance at myself in the mirror and couldn't believe my eyes. I had some lingering acne marks and redness and thanks to this product they were substantially lightened. I now use this every single day. Not only does it really even out your skin tone but the added hyaluronic acid helps to plump up the skin and get rid of fine lines. Added bonus, this formulation is SO light which I absolutely love because I hate feeling like I have a lot of product on me. Will definitely repurchase.

It would be more than nice/fair to frequent beauty buyers at this store and elsewhere to be able to get samples of the popular sturm products. I wouldn’t purchase prior to testing

Dry Glow

I bought the Glow Drops based off one of Jenna Dewan's Instagram stories since her skin is outstanding! However, while they did brighten my skin to some extent, they were very drying to my skin.

a little on the cheeks

I use a dab on my cheeks after applying makeup. Such a beautiful glow!

Great Addition

I’ve been using all Sturm products for about two months and initially received the Glow Drops as a Sturm GWP. I didn’t expect to like them as much as I do! Ca-ching. Figures! I don’t wear foundation and really go all out when it comes to skincare. This last step truly enhances how great my skin is looking and is totally worth it for others who don’t wear foundation. If you wear foundation, powder, or highlighter, I don’t see the purpose. If not, I highly recommend this addition as a final step to your routine!

A Game Changer!

These are such a game changer! My skin is now on the dryer side because winter is approaching, so I am so happy to have found the Glow Drops. I have been wearing the drops by themselves, as well as under my makeup. It helps my makeup go on so smooth and gives my skin such a dewy look. This product has become a staple in my daily routine.

Not Too Impressed

Sadly I am not that impressed with this product. I’ve loved every other Sturm product I’ve tried so was quite disappointed with this one. It really doesn’t offer much glow at all.

Better than a highlighter

This product is certainly one of my favorite multi-tasking products that can be used on a daily basis. Sometimes I mix it with my foundation, and on other days I simply apply it instead of using a highlighter. It revitalizes my skin's radiance and gives it a natural glow. Additionally, I‘ve noticed that my skin has been getting more hydrated. The purslane in the formulation also reduces redness. If you’re really looking for that perfectly glowing skin, this product is a must for your bathroom cabinet.

Permanent Part of my Morning Routine

Glow drops are dewy and feel amazing on my skin. I don't wear much makeup except for blush and this gives me a subtle glow and brightens my face. Love this product!

If you want to glow - this product is a must have!

I first purchased the glow drops a couple of years ago, and when it ran out I didn’t repurchase for a while. I started to realize that none of other skin care products give the same results as the Barbara Sturm glow drops. I’m 49 and sometimes my skin just looks dull, but not with this product! I re-purchased again and every time I use it, my skin looks radiant and glowy in the most natural way. Highly recommend!

Love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the packaging! The fact that it’s not a pump makes me feel like I’m getting the most out of the product. Also glass bottles are my preference since it’s more sustainable. I woke up feeling way more brighter and the product also worked well with my sensitive skin!
