At Glow, our corrective skincare brands range from medical-grade to botanical based. Even better, our products are formulated to travel deeper than just the surface layer of the skin - making vital changes to clients' skin concerns over time.

So, let's break this down, over-the-counter products are made in mass production. Products need to get on the shelves fast and companies want them made the cheapest way possible for maximum profits.

Also, products that can be found at local stores, are made with marketing at the forefront of their brands, e.x. eye-catching colours, fancy bottle shapes, nice textures, and of course… fragrance. These are all aspects that make it easier to reel people into purchasing their products! Pretty shady am I right?!

Mass production also calls for these companies to insert a lot of fillers to make the product more shelf stable as they are unsure how log the product will be sitting on store shelves.


So, why our products?


Our corrective skincare brands at GLOW are made in small batches, each item being curated and formulated in a lab with science at the forefront of the brands. These products aren’t rushed, why? Each product is created, studied, altered, studied again, and have clinical studies to back their claims. These products aren’t a quick time fix, or a “feel good” product, they're made to correct your skin.

Also the raw ingredients are of a much higher quality - each ingredient is researched and studied on how it will react to the other ingredients within the product and, how long it will take to show signs of improvement. You get what you pay for!


Our brands are also award winning, and verified by some big players like the Swiss Vitamin Institute, and the Skin Cancer Foundation. We also test the products ourselves! We would never want to offer anything to our clients if we haven't tried it and loved it ourselves!

Quick little science fact!

Premium skincare contains 2400 liposomes per drop (liposomes are responsible for delivering the active ingredients to the cells) vs low-quality products have fewer liposomes per drop and the actives within the liposomes are of a lower quality. Not even that…some of the liposomes don’t contain anything, sometimes just water... oh boy...


Lets take a look at how to products compare:

Product A: Over the counter

“Get clearer skin in just 3 days with our powerful salicylic acid cleanser”

Ingredients: Salicylic acid…everything else? Fragrance, parabens, fillers, etc.

Product B: Corrective Skincare

“Reduce your acne with our amazing cleanser that helps to detox impurities such as blackheads, and papules, while calming inflammation.”

Ingredients: Mulberry extract, Peppermint, Bearberry, willow bark extract, Green Tea, Vitamin E, and the list goes on!

*wink wink* these ingredients are from Sorella Apothecary's Lychee Willow Bark Cleanser!

Are your skin concerns piling up one after the other? Looking for a total do-over? We’ve got you covered!

Here at GLOW, we are constantly searching for the most effective products and treatments to bring to you - and we’re confident that we’ve found a gem! 

The Dr. Schrammek Green Peel is an all natural peel comprised of herbs, enzymes and plant-derived nutrients that are designed to regenerate, renew and refresh your skin in ONE shot. This treatment targets everything from over-active sebum production, to pigmentation, and unwanted signs of aging. By going deep into the skin, we are able to stimulate detoxifying and regenerative processes that prevent our skin concerns from reoccurring, while combatting pre-existing concerns as well. 



With this treatment, you will notice an increased circulation to the overall facial area promoting brightness and lustre, the elimination of pigmentation, increase of collagen synthesis and skin strength that will lessen the appearance of lines, improved texture, and a carried-out comedolytic effect that will unclog and prevent the clogging of sebaceous glands going forward - restricting future acneic outbursts. This peel really does it all! 


The beauty is that we can design a treatment plan that is fully customizable to you. Whether we take it low and slow, or deep and fast, will determine how much you peel and how quickly you see results. But let me assure you, the results are inevitable and ten-fold - you will come running back for more!


Ask us about the Green Peel treatment at your next consultation if you’re looking for a complete detox that will regenerate and give your skin the boost it needs to reset!


Xo, GLOW
