In addition to your daily recommended serving of fruit, you might want to consider adding a little seasonal produce to your skin-care routine. K-beauty brand Glow Recipe’s Pomegranate Peptide Firming Serum utilizes the tart antioxidant-rich fruit to brighten and moisturize skin. But that’s not all. It also features hyaluronic acid, polypeptides, and squalene said to firm, lift, and smooth — basically giving your face the slick spring of a grape.
If you aren’t familiar with the brand, Glow Recipe first gained traction after it was featured on Shark Tank (the founding duo passed on their potential deal), and has now honed in on a veritable salad of fruit-centric products like Tik-Tok favorite Watermelon Dew Drops.
As for the power of pomegranate, senior shopping editor Bianca Nieves swears by this serum (which first launched in August) as “it’s very gentle with sensitive, eczema-prone skin.” And while it won’t erase deep wrinkles, the product’s power to hydrate and lift will leave your skin firm and help to fill in fine lines and wrinkles. The petite pink bottle will tuck snugly into a carry-on when you head home for the holidays, whether you’re intending to use it yourself or serve it up as a gift.
