Skincare is so complicated these days. I finally figure out the best night cream and moisturizer to use for my skin. I started using a BB cream under foundation to help lock in moisture underneath makeup. And now people are talking about toners and serums.

If you’re also tired of the madness, there is Maelove. Maelove was founded by a team of MIT students (so you know it’s good!) who were tired of the overwhelming amount of skincare products women are expected to use. They knew they could create a serum that was simple, effective and affordable all in one bottle.

That’s the cruelty-free, vegan antioxidant serum The Glow Maker. This serum contains Vitamins C and E, Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitis Vinifera, Aloe, Aurantium Dulcis and Magnolia to nourish your skin and make it stay hydrated and bright all day long.

At just $27.95, that’s a pretty bold claim to use. But this serum is totally effective. Many antioxidant serums I’ve tried are stinky, putting me off wanting to use them and wear that weird scent on my face all day long. Plus they often don’t soak in to my already normal skin, making me feel greasy and sticky.

The Glow Maker serum soaked in right away and applied smoothly. My face felt as soft as rose petals. I’m not sure how soon you’re supposed to see a visible difference (I didn’t really) but I felt good knowing that I was protecting my skin from harmful UV rays and all the pollutant crap in the air.

If you’re hesitant to give it a try, Maelove has a super-sweet return policy of 100 days, so you can really give it a whirl and give it proper time to wait for results.

Have you tried an antioxidant serum yet? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!
