What is glass skin?
Glass skin literally refers to skin that looks crystal clear and dewy – just like glass. It’s the K-beauty term that is revered in South Korea, but glass skin is now a globally loved trend, too. It speaks to layering lightweight and hydrating products onto the skin to make pores appear smaller and skin more luminous for a full-face glow effect. Love the look? Complement your glass skin ritual with a dewy or a natural makeup routine, or allow it to stand alone. The choice is yours!
How to achieve glass skin
While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, with a little patience, a consistent skincare ritual and the L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler range, you will be 5 steps closer to luminous and glowy skin. Ready to discover how to achieve glass skin? Here’s a step-by-step explainer.
Step 1: Gently cleanse the skin
The first step of a glass skin routine is to use a cleanser that works for your skin type. This should ideally involve a gentle cleanser, and our frontrunner is the Clinical Vitamin C Cleanser with Salicylic Acid. Suitable for morning and evening use, you only need a small amount to cleanse, smooth and plump the skin.
Tip: You can follow this up with a gentle exfoliator, which will prepare your skin for all the hydrating ingredients that come next.
Step 2: Layer your serums
Understanding how to layer skincare serums to achieve glass skin can be difficult, but we’re here to break it down for you. While there are some skincare ingredients you shouldn’t mix and match, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid is one of our favourite skincare combinations to layer.
Suitable for sensitive skin, the Revitalift Vitamin C Serum provides 12% Pure Vitamin C and an effective daily dose of antioxidants to encourage 2X brighter skin* and a glass skin appearance over time. With a hydrating combination of vitamin E, vitamin C and salicylic acid, this super serum is well-suited to helping you achieve the glass skin effect. Always apply vitamin C serum to freshly cleansed, dry skin.
For a dose of hyaluronic acid, layer on the Revitalift Filler 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum. This fast-absorbing serum delivers intense hydration instantly, resulting in a visible plumping effect and a radiant complexion.

Step 3: Look after the skin under the eyes
Eye serums are (arguably) one of the most underrated skincare products to include in your daily routine. Infused with awakening ingredients like hyaluronic acid and caffeine, the Revitalift Filler Anti-Ageing Eye Serum helps to plump and smooth fine lines and minimise the appearance of dark circles. If that wasn’t enough, this non-greasy eye serum includes a triple roller applicator. With three cooling stainless steel beads, you can enliven your pores (and get one step closer to glass skin) with a whole-eye contour massage that helps to de-puff and revive tired eyes.
Step 4: Lock in that hydration
So, you’ve treated your skin to a combo of skin comforting and nourishing ingredients. Next, it’s time to secure hydration with the Revitalift Filler Plumping Water Cream. Formulated with two types of highly concentrated hyaluronic acids and a combination of 3 ceramides, this lightweight face plumping cream melts to water when applied on your skin, helps to smooth wrinkles and lastly, locks in that vital moisture. (Just be sure to follow up with your choice of SPF as the final step of your morning glass skin routine).
Step 5: Use the right make up remover
Before you relax, it’s time to remove your makeup, sunscreen and any build up from the day with Revitalift Filler Waterproof Make-up Remover. This is a fragrance-free formula boosted with hyaluronic acid that’s perfect for applying to delicate areas, like under the eyes or around the lips. Validated by dermatologists, the formula aims to rehydrate the skin to reveal a visibly smoother complexion.
To achieve glass skin, simply repeat the steps listed above, be as patient as possible and most importantly – be kind to yourself, because you deserve it!
