Maelove, the under-the-radar skin care brand best known for its cult-status, budget-friendly vitamin C serum, is now more convenient to snag than ever. Five of the brand’s best-selling skin-care products are finally available on Amazon, with more products to be added to their storefront in the near future.
That includes The Glow Maker, the aforementioned cult-favorite. Fans of the antioxidant serum say it’s as good as more expensive serums, thanks to a potent mix of vitamin C (15% L-ascorbic acid), vitamin E, ferulic acid and hyaluronic acid. You’ll also find The Hydrator, a fragrance-free hyaluronic acid serum; The Plush Cream, a light-as-air moisturizing gel cream; the non-irritating Moonlight Retinal Super Serum; and lastly, the Night Renewer, a dark spot-fading glycolic acid cream.
For more details on all five, scroll on.
1 / 5
The Glow Maker ($38)
Ascorbic acid, known as vitamin C, is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin and has brightening properties to even out skin tone, according to dermatologists. Maelove’s serum boasts an impressive list of skin benefits including enhancing radiance, boosting collagen, fading dark spots and decreasing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. And with the addition of hyaluronic acid and a unique botanical blend, it also gives skin an added dose of hydration.
Type: serum
Key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid, aloe, grape, magnolia, orange peel
Best for: those who want to brighten a dull complexion
2 / 5
The Hydrator ($38)
For instant hydration and a serious glow, Maelove’s The Hydrator delivers without any greasiness. Its fast-absorbing formula significantly boosts your skin’s moisture content, is lightweight and has zero added fragrance, so it’s a safe bet for even the most sensitive skin types.
Type: gel serum
Key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, panthenol (vitamin B5), resveratrol
Best for: those who want a dewy glow
3 / 5
Moonlight Retinal Super Serum ($45)
When this retinol serum launched back in 2021 one bottle of Moonlight sold every minute for five days straight, followed by a 42K-person waitlist. It’s not too hard to believe: it was “obsessively formulated” with encapsulated retinal (which is 10x more effective than regular retinol, per the brand), hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, bisabolol, aloe, and botanicals to reduce wrinkles, firm skin, fade dark spots, reduce redness and prevent breakouts.
Type: serum
Key ingredients: retinal, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, bisabolol, aloe
Best for: those with reactive complexions who get irritated by retinol products
4 / 5
Plush Cream ($38)
Another quickly-sold-out-after-launch, Maelove’s Plush Cream is a light, almost cloud-like moisturizer that delivers long-lasting hydration without the heaviness. Skin drinks up the formula instantly, leaving behind an unparalleled plump, bouncy glow. (It also sits beautifully under makeup.)
Type: gel cream
Key ingredients: squalane, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, niacinamide, algae extract
Best for: oily and/or sensitive skin types
5 / 5
Night Renewer Glycolic Acid Cream ($38)
Experience an overnight “facial in a jar,” says the brand of their Night Renewer Glycolic Acid Cream. With 10% glycolic acid—a powerful exfoliator—, vitamin E, squalane, shea butter, arnica flower, aloe and hyaluronic acid, the formula smooths texture, fades dark spots and reduces the appearance of lines, wrinkles and pores while it hydrates and exfoliates. The brand promises it’s made with sensitive skin types in mind, but to lessen the risk of irritation, start using two-to-three times a week before building up to daily use.
