I spent so long eyeing this up but not getting it down to the packaging. Personally I don’t feel this is a 3 in one product as the first two (cleanse and scrub) are essentially done at the same time and felt like a marketing gimmick. After using and falling in love with it, I still feel it’s a 2 in 1 product as opposed to a 3 in one.
As for the product itself. The smell isn’t so great because of the mask aspect of the product. This is the first face wash I’ve used in a while that doesn’t leave my skin feeling taut. It’s gentle enough to use daily without having any negative effects on my skin. The ‘mattify’ effect on your skin is what made me fall in love. Right before I got this my skin had been problematic for a few weeks and this has cleared it up so nicely without of any of the awkward I-just-changed-my-facewash-phase.
The only thing that has me questioning this product is the exfoliant in it and what that’s made out of as I havnt seen anything on the bottle to allude to whether the exfoliant is environmentally friendly. Outside of that, as long as you remember this is more of a 2-in-1 product as opposed to the advertised 3-in-1 then you’ll be sweet.
I have combination skin, more oily T-zone in the summer , but during winter I get more dry patches around my nose, chin and forehead.
Packaging: quite hygienic, squeeze tube with a snap cap/ lid.
Smell: not overpowering, it just smells fresh and a bit minty.
Consistency: cream like and the beads are not to hard and harsh on the skin. I have used this as a mask once a week because my face felt too dry already afterwards, so I didn’t want to do twice per week as per the instructions. However, I have also used this as a daily wash/ scrub when I am in the shower, I even use as a scrub to exfoliate my body. My skin felt/looked healthy/supple afterwards. Compared to other facial scrubs I’ve used, this doesn’t dry my face out when used this way, my facial pores are visibly more refined.
As a busy mum, this is something that I will definitely keep repurchasing when I run out, easy to use and I don’t have to have multiple products . I don’t have time for actual beauty spa/facials, but this will certainly suffice!
I might change up how I use this in the summer time, maybe a combination of daily facial wash and at least scrub twice a week and then possibly just do the mask fortnightly depending on my skin behaves.
Tips: As with any products with salicylic acid, it stings a bit, if you have very sensitive skin, do a skin patch test first, Otherwise just follow the instructions on the box , this is so easy to use. You may just need to find out the best way to use this product for your skin.
