Review: Natural Glow Hydration with Glycine

It’s no secret that hydration plays a vital role in maintaining our skin’s health. Many skincare products we love contain hydrators such as hyaluronic acid, glycine, or aloe vera for good reason.

Have you noticed that whenever new anti-ageing products are launched, the core proposition is always centred on how much more they can hydrate and plump the skin compared to competitors?

Clearly, keeping our skin hydrated is essential. When we ensure proper hydration, our skin looks plump and supple, and it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, our overall appearance, including the strength of our hair and nails, is affected by hydration levels.

I, of course, love the results that come from staying hydrated, but something as simple as drinking enough water to gain these benefits can be surprisingly difficult for many of us.

Mostly, it’s because drinking plain water can be boring, and the frequent trips to the bathroom are far from fun. I once took on the challenge of drinking two litres of water daily for a month, and let’s just say, it wasn’t enjoyable. By the end of the first week, I had moved from plain water to adding vitamin C effervescent tablets just to make it more interesting.

Still, this didn’t improve my body’s hydration—according to a total body scan I took at the gym.

Clearly, drinking water alone isn’t enough if we want to achieve optimal hydration that reflects in our outward appearance. This is what makes Natural Glow Hydration with Glycine so intriguing.

It encourages us to think about hydrating our bodies in the same way we do with the many skincare supplements currently available on the market.

Natural Glow promises to combat dull skin, weak nails, and lacklustre hair with its ultra-pure water enriched with glycine (a key player in collagen production) and a perfect blend of electrolytes, including potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium.

Apparently, the quality of water we consume and its osmolality directly affect how efficiently it is absorbed by the body. The purer the water, the better the absorption. Natural Glow’s osmolality is 200, the optimal level for effective hydration.

This product is perfect for those who are committed to their skincare routines and are looking for ways to further improve their skin’s condition. Think of people who are diligent about their skincare routine and who regularly take supplements in pill or powder form.

Trial period

A 12-pack of 355ml cans, consumed over two weeks.

Testing for

I evaluated the product’s effect on my body’s hydration levels (measured with a body scan) and observed any improvements in my skin, hair, and nails. I also tested the taste, as plain water tends to be boring, and an interesting flavour could encourage people to stick with it long enough to see the benefits.

A closer look at Natural Glow Hydration with Glycine

Natural Glow is essentially hydration in a can. While plain water may offer limited hydration, Natural Glow is ultra-pure water enriched with glycine and key electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium. It nourishes your cells from within.

The idea is that it’s not about how much water you drink, but rather the quality your body can effectively absorb and utilise. Thanks to these ingredients, it hydrates the skin, making it plump and helping to keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. It also strengthens nails, making them less prone to breakage, and restores lustre to hair, making dehydrated hair and scalp concerns a thing of the past.

All this comes in a 355ml can—the same size as a standard can of Coke—minus the sugar, salt, caffeine, and calories, of course.

The drink is slightly sparkling and comes in two flavours: Lemon and Lemongrass.

Key ingredients

Natural Glow is enriched with glycine, a key ingredient in many skincare products due to its numerous benefits.

Glycine is known for boosting collagen production in the body, improving the visible signs of ageing, enhancing moisture retention, and promoting skin repair and regeneration.

The product also contains potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium—minerals that help maintain electrolyte balance in the body. This ensures you won’t become dehydrated or overhydrated.

Based on the ingredients, you can expect plumper, more supple skin, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a youthful, age-defying appearance.

Additionally, if you have weak, brittle nails, you can expect significant improvement. Nails become stronger and less prone to breakage, eliminating the need for press-ons or nail extensions.

Lastly, you can say goodbye to damaged hair that feels rough, frizzy, and prone to breakage.

Overall Recommendation

After drinking Natural Glow for two weeks, it became a natural part of my routine. I usually avoid fizzy drinks, but I had no trouble making this one part of my day. Knowing it contained no sugar or calories, and more importantly, had skincare benefits, made it easy to incorporate.

As someone who takes up to ten skincare supplements daily, drinking a small can that hydrates both my body and skin was no bother at all—I simply saw it as an extension of my skincare supplement routine.

In terms of taste, it was quite refreshing. I typically don’t refrigerate water, but I did put the Natural Glow cans in the fridge, and the sparkling lemon flavour was just as enjoyable. I had no complaints about the taste.

After 15 days, my skin felt soft and supple, although dryness has never been an issue for me, except in winter and early spring due to central heating. I also couldn’t assess the product’s impact on wrinkles or fine lines, as I don’t have any. However, I tested Natural Glow’s claims on my nails, which have always been weak and brittle.

Before the trial, my nails were damaged after using nail extensions, but I noticed they were growing stronger again, supporting Natural Glow’s claims. Another notable result was an increase in my body’s hydration levels, which had improved by 1%. This was particularly impressive, given that I had been trying to improve my hydration levels all year with little success.

It stands to reason that continued use of Natural Glow will further improve hydration, leading to better skin, hair, and nails—the kind of results every skincare enthusiast desires.

Are there any drawbacks? If I had to be picky, I’d say some people might want more flavour options beyond just lemon and lemongrass.

Natural Glow comes in packs of 12 on a £39 subscription, bringing the cost to £3.25 per can. This is a reasonable price compared to other beauty supplements on the market.

From a skincare perspective, I’d repurchase Natural Glow without hesitation.
