A Wren Says

Youth to the People and I have a strained relationship. The first product I tried from them was the Superfood Cleanser, which left my face so unbearably dry. I was leery of brand since then. But here I am now, with a bottle of their Skin Drip, giving them a second chance.

Superfood Skin Drip Smooth + Glow Barrier Serum

$39 for 30 mL

Niacinimide, probiotics, and superfoods to give you radiance and glow

The Superfood Skin Drip Smooth + Glow Barrier Serum is billed a skin multivitamin to help boost your radiance while it improves your barrier function. Niacinamide should help with evening skin tone. Here is the good part: I personally found that it didn’t irritate my skin at all and seemed to mix well into my routine. However, I didn’t find it gave me the benefits I was looking for when it comes to a niacinamide product. And that radiance? It would appear that comes from the silver sparkles that you’ll notice if you look at your skin and the bottle more closely. When I think of radiant skin, I don’t think of a glitter face.  That is not my idea of healthy skin.

Youth to the People recommend this product to be used night and day by all skin types. Maybe that’s fine. You likely won’t have an issue doing that. But I would imagine, given its so sparkly, you might like it as a boost under makeup even more. Or perhaps you like a little fun before you go to bed.

As to whether you should buy this product, think about what you’re looking for. What does glow mean to you? What finish do you want your skin to have? If glow to you includes a subtle allover highlighter, this is what you may want. But if glow to you is more about dewy skin, this is not the product for you.

For me this product is just fine enough to finish the bottle, but that’s my own opinion. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.
