Glow Recipe has made its first foray into the makeup sphere with a new primer, and TikTok is already losing it. The brand, which is certainly no stranger to a viral beauty moment, has released a new ‘pore drops’ product that claims to perform like a smoothing primer with the long-term benefits of a pore-minimising skincare treatment.
The primer – known as Glow Recipe’s Strawberry BHA Pore-Smooth Blur Drops™ ($53) – was inspired by the brand’s ever-popular Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops™, which has already become a phenomenon on the social media platform. But while the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops™ purport to deliver a hyper-glowy, dewy finish to the skin, the new Strawberry BHA Pore-Smooth Blur Drops™ were designed to combat oiler skin.
@paintedbyspencer SATIN PILLOW SKIN! ✨ Using the NEW @glowrecipe Strawberry BHA Pore-Smooth Blur Drops 🍓 It’s their FIRST EVER primer release, and they’ve set the bar high! It’s silicone free, vegan & cruelty free, and this is the perfect primer to use if you enjoy a soft-focus, satin finish ✨ @sephora #GLOWPARTNER #glowrecipe #blurdrops #primer #makeup #paintedbyspencer
The formula is silicone-free and feels like a serum, which is why it also contains an impressive cocktail of skincare heavy-weights – think gentle exfoliation from encapsulated BHA and strawberry enzymes, which work to smooth the skin and refine pores with continued use. Designed to control excess oil and balance oil production over time while also blurring the appearance of pores, these pore drops promise a ‘satin pillow skin’ finish. Sign us up!

If TikTok is an indication, Glow Recipe has another viral hit on its hands. Creators on the platform have been singing its praises since it was released, particularly those with oily or combination skin. Los Angeles-based makeup artist and TikTok favourite @paintedbyspencer praised the pore drops for smoothing the skin in a recent video, adding, “Satin pillow skin for the win.”
@ellejamesmakeup Horse riding vlog🐴🤍 putting the @glowrecipe silicone-free Strawberry BHA Pore-Smooth Blur Drops to the test and it came through!! No powder, no top ups and it still looked 10/10 after 12 hour wear🥵@sephorauk @sephora #BlurDrops #glowrecipe #GlowPartner ad
Fellow TikTok creator @ellejamesmakeup shared a wear-test video where she trialled the pore drops over the course of the day. The “breakout-prone” creator found that the primer provided a soft glow to the skin without making it look oily, while also keeping her makeup in place for almost 12 hours. Not bad, right?
While the pore drops were only released a month ago, it’s looking like Glow Recipe is going to enjoy another sell-out success with this one. Get in quick!
