Merit Site →Amazon →Sephora →MERIT →SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Merit's Great Skin Instant Glow Serum is a bi-phase liquid that needs shaking before use, but delivers lightweight hydration and a radiant, non-greasy glow. Several creators praise it as a perfect makeup base that plumps skin, doesn't clog pores, and works well even on dry, dull days. One notes it separates and has an oily texture, but overall it's described as hydrating, non-irritating, and a repeat purchase.
