The serum that promises to make your skin glow ‘at any age’

This Merit serum is one of the best available

Everywhere we look, we’re being told what we should be doing about fine lines, tone, texture, and elasticity. And somehow, no matter what we choose, it never quite feels like the “right” choice.

MERIT’s approach is simpler: be honest about what skincare can actually do.

Great Skin Instant Glow Serum (shop here) was designed to be the foundation of your everyday routine. Not an overly complex formula (that’s the point). Instead, it focuses on the essentials that make skin look healthy at any age: hydration, brightness, even tone, and calm, comfortable skin.

Clinically proven to deliver visible results instantly and over time, Great Skin hydrates for 24 hours while improving brightness, tone, and redness in as little as two weeks.

At its core is a power pair of clinical actives, including niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and cacao seed extract.

The essence phase, infused with actives, absorbs readily for clinical-level efficacy, while the emollient phase locks in hydration and delivers an instant glow.

It’s formulated with precision — ingredients at levels that maximise efficacy while minimising irritation; dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic, suitable for sensitive skin, and awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.

Clinical results include an increase in skin moisture lasting 24 hours.

100% of participants saw improvement in brightness/radiance in two weeks. 94% saw improvement in skin tone in two weeks, and 91% saw a reduction in redness in four weeks.

Great Skin Serum was the #1 “anti-aging” serum at Sephora in 2025, so we know this serum is one worth investing in.
