I’ve never been one to expect much for a moisturizer. For as long as I can remember my skin has been oily and I reach for moisturizer just to balance out my skin so that it doesn’t turn into an oil slick and the number of options I could reach for were limited. But in the last few months since I moved to a dry and cool Michigan my skin has undergone a lot of change including sprouting some dry spots. The oily sheen that my face had was gone and with it the mild healthy look. I was recently sent Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer and I decided to embark on a journey to see if it would help my skin in anyway.
The product claims to “A lightweight fast absorbing cream that illuminates skin while providing all-day hydration.
- Lightens dark spots
- Restores radiance
- Evens skin tone
- Diminishes fine lines
- Provides all-day hydration.”

My Experience with Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer
Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer comes in a transparent bottle with a pump dispenser. I have completely fallen in love with products that have a pump simply because they make it easy to dispense the right amount of product every time. The moisturizer is white with a very faint fragrance. For people with sensitive nose this is a major hit.
I tried the moisturizer on my hands the very first time and I was impressed at how easily it was absorbed into my skin and how it instantly gave my skin a nourished look. I know this sounds a little too far fetched but I loved the natural glow minus any greasiness. I use 2 pumps of Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer to cover my face and neck. I love how it makes my skin look healthy and bright; this is the work of 2 key ingredients – botanical hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid. The moisturizer also claims to lighten spots and brighten overall complexion, but the difference I have noticed so far is less. But let’s not forget that this makes the skin glow with every use.
I have used this under makeup both powder and liquid and it fared really well. Even through the makeup the glow managed to peek through which is a bonus. Overall a great buy and with the quantity you require for every use Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer will definitely last you a long time.

i really need moisturizers that arent too heavy, most of them just seem to clog my pores :/ wish this was more easily available!

I have sensitive skin and this one definitely didn’t clog my pores and it moisturized my skin without making it greasy.
Absolutely a great moisturizer 🙂
Sonali recently posted…Ida Naturals Anise Clove lip Revive Review
It definitely is Sonali. I totally love this moisturizer and the glow it adds to my face.
I love products that come with a pump too, the pump make it so easy to use and you always get the right amount without wasting it. Too bad the brightening results did not last for long, I tried a face mask that claimed to have the same brightening results but I was so disappointed, my skin felt as if I haven’t used this mask at all.

I reviewed their Vitamin C serum. It’s pretty good. I agree that continuous use is how to maintain the glow. It seems to be a common issue with Valentia products.
