[Kiehl's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicated-moisturizer) Glow Formula Skin Hydrator is touted as a "[unique, hybrid product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-up-radiant-elixir) that can be incorporated throughout a skincare and makeup routine." Like a skincare product, the formula can be used on its own or with a moisturizer to provide long-lasting hydration. Alternatively, the product can be pressed onto the high points of the skin after makeup is applied to create a [fresh, radiant finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-protect-spf-50-liquid-highlighter).

One of the key ingredients in the formula is pomegranate extract, sourced from Tunisia and Malta, which helps to provide antioxidant protection. Additionally, the formula is also rich with skin-illuminating minerals and in all, a formula with 95% naturally derived ingredients.

The product for all skin types and tones has been tested to show its effectiveness for visibly improving the natural glow of the skin over time.
