WATERMELON SERUM HYPE
Several shoppers celebrated the serum with good reason in the reviews section.

According to the brand, the Watermelon Niacinamide Moisturize Serum can be used under regular moisturizer for its most potent effects.
It can also double as a makeup primer, so cosmetics don’t budge.
The hyaluronic acid in the serum ensures a plump and hydrated visage.
The packaging is also quite similar to the famed but pricier brand.
One shopper went as far as to say it was “better than Glow Recipe.”
