When a beauty hamper arrives at the TheGlitz.Media office, it always sparks a small wave of excitement. So when a vibrant package from TYPE Beauty landed on our desk… and right at the centre of it was the intriguingly named TYPE Beauty Zit Quit Hydra Jelly Tint, we were obviously, delighted. Designed to deliver colour while also caring for acne-prone skin, this hybrid product promises the best of both worlds: playful makeup with skin-friendly benefits. Curious to delve into the depths, we put the product to the litmus test. Read on… TheGlitz reviews…
TYPE Beauty Zit Quit Hydra Jelly Tint – First Impressions: A Burst of Colour
The first thing that grabbed our attention is the packaging. Bold, cheerful and unmistakably youthful, the bright orange boxes paired with bubblegum pink accents immediately signal that this is a brand speaking to a fun, modern beauty consumer. The typography is big, confident and playful… “TYPE” stamped boldly across the packaging, while “Zit Quit Hydra Jelly Tint” shines in holographic lettering that catches the light beautifully.
The design aesthetic feels fresh and Gen Z-friendly, yet still polished enough to hold its own in a vanity lineup. Subtle graphic elements and colour-coded accents make the product visually engaging without feeling cluttered. It’s clear that the brand has invested in creating packaging that feels both Instagram-ready and practical.
Opening the box reveals the product itself: a chunky, cylindrical applicator in a striking pink casing. It’s tactile, compact and easy to hold, giving it an almost toy-like charm that instantly makes you want to twist it open and try it.
The Product Concept: Makeup Meets Skincare
The TYPE Zit Quit Hydra Jelly Tint is designed as a multi-tasking tint that not only adds colour but also cares for skin that may be prone to breakouts. According to the packaging, the formula includes ingredients such as azelaic acid and centella asiatica… both widely recognised in skincare for their soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Azelaic acid is often used to calm redness and reduce acne-related irritation, while centella asiatica (sometimes called “cica”) is known for its skin-repairing and soothing properties. By incorporating these ingredients into a tint, TYPE Beauty is clearly targeting consumers who want makeup that works with their skin rather than against it.
Texture & Application
The standout feature of this product is its unique jelly-like texture. Unlike traditional lip or cheek tints that can feel watery or sticky, this formula sits somewhere in between… a gel-jelly consistency that glides smoothly onto the skin.
When applied, the tint spreads easily and blends seamlessly with fingertips. The lightweight formula feels comfortable and hydrating rather than heavy or greasy. The “hydra” element in the name is quite fitting… the product leaves a subtle dewy finish that gives the skin a healthy, fresh-faced glow.
Because of its sheer buildable pigment, the tint works beautifully for those who prefer a soft, natural look. One swipe delivers a delicate wash of colour, while additional layers can deepen the intensity slightly without looking patchy.
Versatility on the Face
One of the biggest advantages of the TYPE Zit Quit Hydra Jelly Tint is its versatility. It works well as a lip tint, adding a soft, glossy flush of colour, but it can also double as a cheek tint for a quick monochromatic makeup look.
On cheeks, the formula blends particularly well, melting into the skin to create a naturally flushed effect rather than sitting on top like powder blush sometimes does. Because of its hydrating formula, it works especially well for dry or combination skin types.
TheGlitz Verdict
Overall, the TYPE Beauty Zit Quit Hydra Jelly Tint feels like a thoughtful blend of skincare and makeup. It’s playful without being gimmicky, functional without sacrificing style.
From its vibrant packaging and innovative jelly texture to its skin-conscious ingredients, the product reflects a growing beauty movement… one where makeup is expected to care for the skin as much as it enhances it.
For beauty lovers who want easy, everyday colour with a skincare twist, this little pink tube might just become a handbag staple. After all, if makeup can soothe your skin while giving you a glowing flush of colour, that’s a beauty win worth celebrating.
