1. Vitamin C Face Wash: The First Step to Radiance
Your daily glow begins here. The Vitamin C Face Wash is a brightening, hydrating cleanser that refreshes without stripping moisture.
Formulated with Vitamin C, witch hazel water, hyaluronic acid, and gentle natural exfoliants, it removes dull surface buildup while replenishing hydration — setting the stage for every product that follows.
Facialist tip: Massage onto damp skin for a full 60 seconds to activate the Vitamin C and reveal a soft, morning glow.
2. Exfoliating Mask: Smooth, Polish, and Purify
The Exfoliating Mask combines the refinement of resurfacing with the gentleness of botanicals. Infused with kaolin clay and volcanic ash, it provides both chemical and physical exfoliation to purify pores, smooth texture, and enhance brightness.
Why facialists love it: It instantly refines uneven tone and draws out impurities without irritation. After just one use, skin feels softer, clearer, and light-reflective.
Use twice a week to maintain that year-round, red-carpet glow.
3. Glow To Go Mask Set: Instant Luminosity in Five Sheets
When your skin needs an instant revival, reach for the Glow To Go Mask Set. This collection of five biodegradable sheet masks — including the iconic Forever Glow, Eden Instant Lift, Dawn, Twilight, and Bright Eye Hydrating Mask — delivers targeted care for every complexion concern.
Each mask floods skin with hydration, firmness, and brightness — ideal before an event or after travel.
Why it’s a favorite: It’s like having the entire Joanna Vargas Spa menu, beautifully packaged for home.
4. Supernova Retinol Serum: The Overnight Radiance Reset
The Supernova Retinol Serum is your evening essential for refined texture and renewed luminosity. This antioxidant-rich blend of retinol, botanical extracts, and hydrating agents helps diminish fine lines, fade dark spots, and improve elasticity — all while keeping the skin calm and balanced.
Unlike traditional retinols, this formula is buffered with soothing botanicals, so you wake up to smoother, brighter, more resilient skin.
5. Eden Niacinamide Calming Serum: Glow for Sensitive Skin
For reactive or sensitive complexions, the Eden Niacinamide Calming Serum delivers radiance without irritation. Powered by plant stem cells, niacinamide, and antioxidant botanicals, it soothes redness, restores balance, and strengthens the barrier.
Facialists recommend it for those experiencing dryness, post-procedure sensitivity, or stress-related flare-ups. The result: a calm, even-toned, naturally radiant complexion.
6. Twilight Night Cream: Repair While You Sleep
Your night cream should do more than moisturize — it should transform. The Twilight Night Cream is powered by a plant-based Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) composed of 53 amino acids to help restore firmness and minimize fine lines while you sleep.
Combined with hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich botanicals, it deeply nourishes and supports visible renewal by morning.
Think of it as your skin’s overnight reset ritual.
7. Twilight Face Mask: The Post-Treatment Glow Booster
When skin feels fatigued, tight, or reactive, the Twilight Face Mask delivers instant comfort and radiance. Crafted from biodegradable bamboo and infused with EGF, it helps repair the barrier, reduce redness, and restore bounce.
A favorite among facialists and frequent travelers alike, it brings post-facial luminosity home — reviving dull, stressed skin in minutes.
