Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment works the night shift. An overnight resurfacing mask with a 2.5% pH-balanced AHA complex, it exfoliates while you sleep — paired with seven weights of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and quinoa peptide so you wake to smoother, brighter-looking skin, not an irritated one.

What it actually does

• Resurfaces gently overnight. Glow Recipe states its 2.5% pH-balanced AHA complex exfoliates as effectively as 10% glycolic acid while keeping the skin barrier intact.
• Hydrates layer by layer. Seven molecular weights of hyaluronic acid reach different depths of skin for a plump, bouncy look.
• Brightens and firms. Niacinamide and quinoa peptide minimise the look of discolouration while visibly firming, with watermelon enzymes adding to the glow.
• Shows up by morning. In the brand's consumer-perception test on 32 subjects after a single night, 93% agreed skin looked more radiant, felt smoother and looked better the next morning.
• Builds over weeks. In a separate brand clinical of 31 subjects using it three times weekly for four weeks, 97% showed significant improvement in texture and tone evenness.

How to use

1. Make it the final step of your evening routine: apply a generous layer and pat until absorbed.
2. Sleep on it — no rinsing needed overnight.
3. In the morning, cleanse as usual and carry on with your AM routine.
4. Use two to three times a week, and follow with sunscreen after moisturiser during the day.

Minimal-routine tip: on treatment nights, cleanse, tone, and let this be your one and only final step.

Questions

Do I wash it off before bed?

No — it's an overnight mask. Pat it on as your last evening step, sleep, then cleanse it away in the morning.

Is 2.5% AHA strong enough to do anything?

Glow Recipe says the pH-balanced complex performs on par with 10% glycolic acid while being kinder to the barrier — and its four-week clinical showed significant texture and tone improvement in 97% of subjects.

Do I need sunscreen the next day?

Yes. Any exfoliating acid makes SPF non-negotiable — the brand's own guidance is to follow with sunscreen after moisturiser during the day.
