How To Get Glass Skin
My name is Carrie and over the past 2-3 months, the following 5 products have become my GO-TO’s for smoothing and refining my skin and pores resulting in a smooth “glass” appearance. I’m 46-years-old and my skin profile is sensitive oily skin with large pores around the nose and forehead and prone to break outs. Using the following 5 products has helped give me the best skin I’ve had in my life. I’m not making any claims but they’ve helped me tremendously. I’m wearing NO foundation, concealer, CC cream or powder in the picture above. Just MOISTURIZER on my bare skin! Obviously, I also focus on very good skin care, including using a cleanser that contains at least 2% salicylic acid. So let’s get started:
1. Paula’s Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Although not an Avon product, I would be remiss not to mention this BHA 2% Skin Perfecting Liquid. I use this first after cleansing my face. You may also use a toner first, if you prefer.
This is their #1 product worldwide + cult favorite. This is a gentle leave-on exfoliant with salicylic acid which quickly unclogs pores, smooths wrinkles, brightens and evens out skin tone.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT –
- Clears & minimizes enlarged pores
- BHA (beta hydroxy acid) sheds built-up layers of skin
- Fluid, lightweight texture absorbs quickly
- Use daily after cleansing & toning
2. Isa Knox Collagen Booster Microneedling Polisher
A highly effective combination of gentle exfoliators polishes away dull skin cells, diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and improves the appearance of pores for a smoother, more youthful look.
I noticed a difference after the first use of this product but I wasn’t really sold until after my THIRD use. I find that it works for me if I use it just once a week, so it took me about 4 weeks before I realized what a difference it made. Plus it’s very reasonably priced and this is a must-have for achieving the glass skin look!

• 97% agreed it makes skin feel dramatically smoother after just 1 week of use*

TO USE
Apply a thin layer to clean, wet skin and gently massage in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly.
We recommend using at night, as skin could appear slightly flushed after use.

3. Isa Knox Anew LX Ultimate Rejuvenating Serum
Although the next 2 products focus on anti-aging, they are included because part of getting the glass skin appearance is having the perfect moisturizer to give your skin a “shiny glow” so-to-speak. These are the one’s I’ve found that are reasonably priced yet still on the higher end.
The Isa Knox Collection is our first holistic approach to skin care. It is infused with paeonol, our unique extract harvested at its peak from rare peonies and processed through exclusive technology with niacinamide, panthenol and other anti-aging ingredients.
This is a luxurious paeonol-infused serum that harnesses the power of peonies, which makes your skin look and feel lifted and dramatically tighter, while visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a younger, firmer look.

5. Green Goddess CBD Facial Oil
Finally, the last step in achieving “Glass Skin.”
Green Goddess is a topical oil with 100mg of CBD and other plant-based ingredients. This nutrient-enriched formula provides a calm and relieving feeling, making it the refreshing last step to both morning and nighttime skin care routines.
Why did I include CBD oil? After about 20-25 minutes, the serum and day cream absorbs into your skin! Using the CBD oil maintains the “glassy” appearance and locks in the moisture from the serum and day cream.
Our CBD is non-GMO and we used the entire hemp plant in this product (stalk, seeds, stem, leaves, flowers) – so no part went to waste. FYI, our collection does NOT contain THC.
