What the gurus are saying

The serum's distinctive oil-water hybrid texture requires a shake before use, and a little goes a long way. Multiple gurus praised its glass skin effect and noted it helps even out tone and texture, making it especially nice under makeup for added glow. Price concerns and one reported sensitivity issue suggest it may not work well for everyone.

"The Merit Great Skin Instant Glow Serum has a very unique texture, it's got like an oil and water almost hybrid in there so you give it a good shake, a little goes a long way with this. I feel like this product actually really helps with the tone and texture of my skin, those are my top two issues especially after struggling with acne. I still have some acne scarring that I work on lightening and it's gotten a lot better over the years. I feel like my skin is overall a lot more even than it used to be, which is nice. [...] This Merit one specifically is newer to me but I love how it makes my skin look and feel. I feel like I do notice a difference and it's beautiful underneath makeup if you're wanting something like to give you a little bit more of a glow underneath makeup that's a great one to use."

"The Merit Beauty Great Skin Instant Glow Serum is exactly what I want, a formula that gives my skin instant radiance but it's skin care not makeup. It's hydrating with four different weights of hyaluronic acid, and it also has Copus root, which is one of my favorite TCM ingredients. It has a lightweight texture but it really feels moisturizing. Two pumps is what I use and it's perfect, and it leaves my skin feeling really moisturized and glowing."

"Yeah, it's a pass for me, but I don't recommend it to you guys. Not only because it caused that issue for me, which can just be a me specific issue, okay? But it's expensive for what it is."
