NZ Vinanza grape & Co enzyme Q10. 30ml (1.0 fl oz).
Our skin is under constant attack from the sun, pollution, environmental aggressors, and hormones, which trigger melanin production, causing your skin to darken.
GLO contains a potent complex of tyrosinase inhibitors and natural skin brighteners that reduce melanin-producing cells’ activity, targeting the underlying causes of dark spots by interrupting your skin’s pigment-production process.
This formula aims threefold: to provide an anti-ageing remedy that lifts and illuminates your skin; to create a lightening treatment that is significantly less toxic than hydroquinone; and to deliver a veil of natural antioxidants to your skin, preventing the oxidative stress that leads to premature ageing. It brightens and lightens, balancing uneven skin tone and pigmentation.
The result. Dark; pigmented areas are lightened, and overall skin tone is balanced.
- melanin synthesis is diminished, tyrosinase activity has decreased
- the transfer of melanosomes to the keratinocytes is significantly reduced
We appreciate that signs of hyperpigmentation can be difficult to treat, as it requires the use of skin-lightening agents that selectively target melanin. Still, the recent safety concerns regarding hydroquinone mean the need for alternative, natural, safe, and efficient skin-lightening ingredients are more necessary. Our unique complex contains Alpha-Arbutin, a close cousin of hydroquinone that does not present harmful side effects.
Note: The initial tone-enhancing benefits may be noticeable from the first week of daily use; pigmentation can often be deep-rooted, so benefits at large are continuing and cumulative. Therefore, it may take up to 3 months to see an improvement. Customise GLO with C+ complex to target stubborn spots.
Skin Health Benefits
- lightens uneven skin tone and restores radiance

- address pigmentation, age spots, and discolouration
- hyaluronic acid optimises water circulation throughout all skin layers, reducing moisture loss
- supplies cells with a daily dose of antioxidants that defend against free radicals that cause ageing
Ingredients
Co-Enzyme Q10: Found in every cell in your body, it is vital for cellular energy. Q10 levels gradually decline with age, even though your body’s demand for it grows. Its potent antioxidant properties protect cells from oxidative DNA damage, reducing wrinkle depth caused by photo-ageing.
NZ Vinanza Grape Extract: Clinically proven to improve skin health, elasticity, and cell membrane integrity whilst also having the positive effects of lightening and brightening your skin.
Bearberry: A botanical, naturally-occurring cousin to hydroquinone that is significantly less cytotoxic to the melanocyte. This makes it a much safer yet effective treatment for reducing melanin deposition, decreasing the visibility of hyper-pigmented areas, and even out skin tone.
Kojic acid: An intelligent ingredient that inhibits melanotropin, a melanin stimulator found in the skin. It controls tyrosinase activity – the essential enzyme involved in melanin production, preventing melanotropin production – effectively halting the pigmentation process.
Tumeric: A bright gold, a plant-derived polyphenol that helps suppress melanin production, minimising the intensity of hyperpigmentation to provide a more radiant, flawless-looking complexion.

Fatema –
Samantha makes a higher concentration of Kojic acid for me and I’ve been using for a year. It wasn’t until I went abroad that I realised it really does work, after forgetting to pack it, I was without this for 3 weeks and I noticed the huge difference. Upon returning to the UK, after using for a few days my skin started glowing again and pigment under control especially around the eyes.

Hi Fatema
What a wonderful review. Just so pleased you are getting results as we put a lot of thought into our formulas and will customise when clients have special requirements. Take care, and please do reach out if you require further customisation in the future or advice.
Liv –
Always slightly sceptical about purchasing products that are designed to target my hyperpigmentation, so I’m pleasantly surprised as my skin does look lighter and less pigmented.
Samantha Miller –
Glo has been a labour of love in reformulating until we got a product that does what it says on the bottle. We can see it is clearly paying off. Thank you so much for this feedback Liv.
Rachel B –
I have a lot of hyperpigmentation as I was a big sun worshipper and my skin is paying the price. This product is the only one that I have found that really targets my dark spots, a very unique product.
Samantha Miller –
Hi Rachel, the research behind Glpo and its ingredients is all about targeting hyper pigmentation and pulling it out of the dermis. We are really pleased you are seeing visible results – great feedback thankyou
Jane –
Love love love this product, it really helps give my mature skin a real boost and well you right Glow! Will be stocking up.
Samantha Miller –
That is really great so pleased you are getting results. When your barrier is no longer compromised try Glo with an 8% glycolic solution done in a clinical environment (only is your skin is not inflamed and sensitive) and you will see amazing results, this combination can work really well on pigmentation literally pulling it from the dermis, which is where deep-rooted pigmentation can sit.

Hi Dana
I love this information. Whilst my approach to skin is purely holistic and all about keeping inflammation out, recently however I have had a client who had this procedure and loves it so thankyou for sharing and I will forward this to Michelle – so thanks once again lovely feedback for her. kind regards Samantha
Clara –
I have been using this for a month and notice that my skin is much clearer, lighter and brighter. I can’t say if it has lightened my sun spots but my skin, overall, has stopped looking flat and dull. My skin type is non-oil producing so this product leaves my skin taut after use. However, this is easily remedied when applying any of Samantha’s amazing moisturisers and skin shots afterwards. Definitely recommended if your skin looks lifeless and dull.
Samantha Miller –
Glo is designed to really vitalise dull, tired, mature skin that is over exposed to the sun. Great to hear that you have been layering your formulas – which is what this customised range is all about, truly listening to your skin which after all is the largest organ on the body and the first thing people notice about us.
Yours in skin health Samantha
