Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment — Travel Size 25 ml, Gentle Overnight Exfoliating Gel with Hyaluronic & Niacinamid

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment is a travel-size overnight gel mask that gently resurfaces skin while hydrating and evening tone using a 2.5% pH-balanced AHA blend with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.

Designed as a smaller, portable version of the brand's cult-favorite sleeping mask, this 25 ml treatment combines glycolic and lactic acids with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, quinoa peptides, and watermelon enzymes. It’s formulated to be used as the last step in your evening routine 2–3 times per week to help refresh texture, reduce the look of pores, and boost radiance without over-drying the skin.

How does this overnight mask resurface skin without irritation?

The formula uses a modest 2.5% concentration of pH-balanced AHAs—glycolic and lactic acids—to provide controlled chemical exfoliation while you sleep. Because the acids are balanced and combined with soothing, hydrating actives, the treatment reduces dead skin buildup gradually rather than aggressively stripping or irritating.

• 2.5% AHA complex (glycolic + lactic) for gentle overnight resurfacing
• pH-balanced to help minimize irritation
• Watermelon enzymes and quinoa peptides to support calming and renewal
• Use 2–3 times weekly for consistent results

Will this mask hydrate as well as exfoliate?

Yes—the gel texture includes multi-weight hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to attract and lock in moisture while exfoliation occurs. These ingredients help skin feel bouncy and plump the next morning rather than tight or flaky.

• Multi-weight hyaluronic acid delivers hydration to multiple skin layers
• Niacinamide supports visible pore refinement and even tone
• Quinoa peptide and watermelon enzymes help condition skin during sleep

What visible improvements can you expect and how fast?

When used as directed, most users report noticeable improvements in texture and tone over weeks, with enhanced softness and reduced visible pore size. Consumer perception results from a small study showed high satisfaction for texture, plumpness, and pillow-proof wear.

• Reported improvements in texture and evenness in consumer testing over four weeks
• High agreement that skin felt plump and the product stayed comfortable overnight
• Best results when used consistently 2–3 times weekly as the final evening step

How should I incorporate this into my routine safely?

Apply generously as the last step of your nighttime regimen and pat until absorbed, then leave on overnight. Because it contains AHAs, pair with sun protection during daytime and avoid mixing with other strong actives like high-concentration retinoids without gradual introduction.

• Apply on clean, dry skin; pat until absorbed and sleep with it on
• Use 2–3 times per week or as needed depending on tolerance
• Follow daytime SPF to protect newly revealed skin after exfoliation
• Vegan and free of parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, phthalates, drying alcohols, and synthetic dyes

Who this is for: This travel-size nightly resurfacing mask fits anyone wanting a gentle, leave-on AHA treatment that also hydrates—ideal for beginners easing into chemical exfoliation, travelers who prefer smaller skincare sizes, and those looking to refresh texture and brighten tone without heavy or abrasive scrubs. Avoid if you have extreme sensitivity to AHAs; patch test first and consult a dermatologist for complex skin concerns.
