Bar vs. bottle

Why a bar beats a bottle.

Face to toe, for less.

A serum covers your face, one pricey drop at a time. One Glow Bar covers your face, neck, chest, arms and back.

Face serum

The Glow Bar

$0.48 / use

Face + body

No bottle. No dropper. No microplastic worries.

Serums come in plastic bottles with plastic droppers. The Glow Bar is solid — nothing to squeeze, no dropper, nothing plastic to apply it with.

Do I need to lather it up?

Nope. Run the end of the bar under water, glide it straight onto your face and body, then rinse it off.

I have sensitive skin. Is it okay?

Kojic acid and citrus are actives, so patch test on your inner arm first, start with once a day and wear SPF by day.
