"This is a wonderful product from Peach and Lily. [...] It's got a really wonderful gel serum texture. It kind of sets to a slightly radiant finish, but not terribly shiny compared to some of the other ones, but it does soak in. It's a water-based serum. In here we've got lots of goodies. Yam root extract, which is also called phytoin. Really wonderful ingredient. It's great for hydrating skin, soothing skin, and perhaps even anti-aging benefits."

"The texture is very similar to the Purito Super Light, absorbs quickly, non-greasy. It's in a glass bottle now, which is good for recycling. It's more of a niacinamide type serum with simple ingredients. It's still good and works well for a lot of people. I just want something with a little bit more antioxidants and maybe more anti-aging benefits. I still use it from time to time."

"Once it is dry it does dry matte. I thought that a glass skin serum was going to give me really shiny skin, but it doesn't actually have like a high gloss finish to it. The texture is kind of a meh for me, but also the results of this are a meh for me as well. I understand why people may like this, but I also see why people don't like this. This can be a really you either love it or hate it type of product. On the whole I don't find it super impressive."

"I've also been using the Peach and Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum. This is another serum that has lots of different types of hyaluronic acid including an acetylated one. It also has niacinamide and a bunch of centella ingredients. It is just a really gentle product. The founder of Peach and Lily has really sensitive skin so this was just to me a really safe product to throw into my routine."

"The Peach and Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum does such a good job at smoothing over the skin making it truly have that glasslike appearance. As opposed to the B.E. Hydra serum from Drunk Elephant which has a good ingredient list but is really only focused on hydration, the Peach and Lily serum has great hydrating ingredients, it has mass aside which is great for reducing sensitivity, niacinamide, peptides, like it just has so many different types of good ingredients all loaded into one formula."

[...] I am not necessarily a believer in the glass skin effect, but holy, this one smooths your skin so much and it's really hydrating, super good formula."

"I think this is a phenomenal serum. Yes it's basic, it is a basic niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serum, but it doesn't stop there, it's multiple forms of hyaluronic acid, it's got a peptide ingredient, it's got sea actives in it, and I think that's what makes this formula so special. You're getting hydration and also some barrier boosting properties, some plant ingredients for antioxidants, hydrating beta glucan."

"The Peach and Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum is a fantastic serum, heavily inspired by K beauty. [...] It's a great everyday serum, great for adding hydration and evening out your skin tone via the niacinamide, and it provides antioxidant activity. I stopped buying it once I got into K beauty and realized that type of product is everywhere there for a lot less."

"For dry skin this is wonderful. This Glass Skin Refining Serum has this peach extract and this peptide complex. It is super nourishing to skin and the peptides in here literally penetrate into the skin and plump up those layers. It also gives you this glass skin look. This was one of the products that I think really just knocked K Beauty out of the park and onto the internet."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Source: DermNet

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
