These Korean skincare queens have developed the ultimate product.

Founded by beauty specialists Sarah Lee and Christine Chang, the duo have spent years scouring Korea for the best of the best for their online fans. This time though, the product they are launching is their very own – and there happens to be a very long wait for it.

With a waiting list in the thousands, Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Mask contains watermelon rind and flesh which, according to the team, “is traditionally used in Korea to soothe irritated, inflamed skin. It’s full of skin-restoring vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids.”

The watermelon is combined with AHAs and other powerful natural ingredients including sweet potato extract, peony, liquorice, banana, pomegranate, cabbage, pumpkin and seaweed — basically your 5-plus a day in a jar.

Designed to exfoliate dead skin, clarify and soothe, the mask can be used as a 10-minute wash off or can be used overnight, with a thin layer applied before bed. Don’t worry about messing up your bedding though – the ‘pillow-proof’ formula means the product will stick to your face and not the pillowcase.

If no-fuss, easy-use skincare is your thing, then this is the product for you. If you have the patience for that wait list, that is.
