# Top Mistakes People Make When Using Glow Serums in 2026 **By Abdul Ahad** ยท 2025-08-19 ๐Ÿ“… Last updated: May 2026 ## Introduction: Top Mistakes People Make When Using Glow Serums I've seen people make several common mistakes that prevent them from getting the most out of their glow serums. Before I began using [Millionaire Glow by Dr. Crazy Beauty](https://www.drcrazybeauty.com/products/millionaire-glow-serum), I was guilty of many of them myself. In this article, I'll share the top mistakes and how to avoid them. For acne-prone skin, always choose **non-comedogenic**, dermatologist-tested formulas that won't clog pores. ### Mistake #1: Not Cleansing Before Applying the Serum Always start with a clean face. Without a proper cleanse, the serum is not able to work as effectively. Once your skin is clean, your glow serum like [Millionaire Glow](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKLK662) by Dr. Crazy Beauty works more effectively. ### Mistake #2: Applying Too Much Product Stick to 2-3 drops of glow serum and gently massage into skin. Focus on areas with dark spots, fine lines, or uneven skin tone. ### Mistake #3: Skipping Sunscreen Always follow up with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher after applying glow serum, even when staying indoors. ### Mistake #4: Not Giving the Serum Enough Time to Absorb After applying [Millionaire Glow](https://www.drcrazybeauty.com/products/millionaire-glow-serum), allow the serum to absorb for about 1-2 minutes before moving to next step. ### Mistake #5: Using the Wrong Serum for Your Skin Type Millionaire Glow by Dr. Crazy Beauty is perfect for most skin types, thanks to [Vitamin C](/blogs/ingredients/vitamin-c-for-your-skin-the-benefits-of-this-powerful-antioxidant), [Niacinamide](/blogs/ingredients/the-ultimate-guide-to-niacinamide-benefits-and-how-to-use-it), and [Hyaluronic Acid](/blogs/ingredients/how-hyaluronic-acid-transforms-your-skin-hydration-explained). Always check ingredients and do a patch test. ### Mistake #6: Over-Exfoliating Before Using Glow Serums Exfoliate 1-3 times per week and give skin time to recover. Ensure skin isn't over-exfoliated before applying serum. ### Mistake #7: Using Glow Serums Only at Night Apply glow serum both in the morning and evening for best results. In the morning, pair with sunscreen. ### Mistake #8: Not Being Consistent Use glow serum daily, both morning and night, for a consistent period. Patience is key. ### FAQs Most people see brighter skin after 2-4 weeks. Use twice daily. Millionaire Glow is suitable for sensitive skin. Absorbs quickly making it perfect for under makeup. ### Conclusion By following the right routine and using the right product like [Millionaire Glow by Dr. Crazy Beauty](https://www.drcrazybeauty.com/products/millionaire-glow-serum), you can achieve that radiant, glowing complexion effortlessly. **Tags:** brightening serum, dr crazy beauty, glow serum, skincare tips, vitamin c serum --- > Source: [Dr. Crazy](www.drcrazybeauty.com/blogs/learninglab/top-mistakes-people-make-when-using-glow-serums)
