Which starter set should you choose?
Choose the Glass Skin Discovery Kit if you want to try the cleanser-to-cream sequence in travel sizes. It brings all four steps together in one set, so you can explore the routine before opting for full sizes.
Choose the Glass Skin Routine Kit if you want the four products in full sizes from the start. Its product page names the cleanser, essence, serum, and cream, making it a straightforward choice when you’re ready to begin with full-size products.
If you’re unsure how your skin will respond to any new formula, remember that a starter set is not a substitute for introducing products carefully. We recommend patch-testing each product before using it on your face.
How to patch-test a new skincare set
We encourage you to patch-test each product individually before adding it to your routine. Our guide to soothing sensitive skin also recommends patch-testing products before facial use. The American Academy of Dermatology’s product-testing guidance gives these steps:
- Choose a test spot: Apply the product to a quarter-sized area that is unlikely to be rubbed or washed away, such as the underside of your arm or the bend of your elbow.
- Use the usual amount: Apply the same amount and thickness you would normally use.
- Follow the product’s usual wear time: Leave leave-on products on for their normal duration. For a cleanser or other rinse-off product, leave it on for five minutes or as long as its instructions say, then rinse.
- Repeat for seven to 10 days: Apply the product to the same test spot twice daily.
- Check for a reaction: If there is no redness, itching, or swelling after seven to 10 days, the AAD says you can use the product.
- Stop if irritation develops: Gently wash the product off and do not use it again. A cool compress or petroleum jelly may help; seek a dermatologist’s guidance if a severe reaction is not relieved.
