I received this item in my boxycharm and I like how it makes my skin feel but I think it is causing acne. Also, would not buy for full price as it is way too expensive. It would be most suitable for very dry skin or non acne prone skin. I hope this helps!
Pros
- Immediately soothing to the skin
- Very hydrating
- Makes you feel expensive
- Actually works really well as a sleep mask on a flight and reduced moisture loss
- Skin feels soft and smooth even after you wash it off
- Did not pill my sunscreen and worked well sitting under moisturizer, sunscreen and make up
- Absorbs really fast into the skin and has an interesting dry texture which lets you quickly apply whatever you want on top
- Glowing skin
Cons
- Sensitizes the skin to the sun, the elements and life in general
- They ruined a perfectly good product by putting so much MENTHOL in it. After repeated usage, this made my skin peel, burn and thin.
- Skin becomes crepey over time with use
- After repeated use you find that it saps moisture from the skin so you feel like you need to use more of it more often. And on goes the cycle of it damaging your skin
- Photosentizing to the sun
- Cannot be used daily or left on the face longer than 15 minutes, despite what the packaging and influencers will tell you
- I later developed an allergy to something in this product: that's how ridiculously sensitizing it is
- Expensive, waste of money tbh
Should you buy it?
Yes If you have cash to splash, have hardy, oily skin that is used to essential oils, and are looking for a conditioning wash off face mask, this is good for you.
No If you have sensitive skin, eczema or want to use this more than once a week, please do yourself a favour, save your money and avoid this.
