[ Review ] Pixi Rose Remedy Mask

 

Product Description

Reset your skin with this ultra-nourishing jelly mask that leaves your complexion feeling soft, smooth and comforted. With antioxidant-rich Turmeric, soothing Cica and a Botanical Oil Blend, this refreshing Pixi Rose Remedy Mask tones and hydrates in one step. Perfect as a weekly treat or post-cleansing boost. 

WHERE TO BUY : Iherb

I purchased Pixi Rose Remedy Mask during a Sephora sale, hoping for a soothing and hydrating treatment for my skin. Unfortunately, this rinse-off mask turned out to be quite underwhelming which was disappointing, considering that I had a good experience with Pixi Glow Tonic and a decent experience with Pixi Beauty Peel and Polish Resurfacing Concentrate several years ago. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Pixi Rose Remedy Mask comes in a generous 300ml jar, making it a sizeable addition to any skincare collection. The packaging is attractive and practical, featuring a spatula that conveniently slots into the side of the jar (won't get lost), along with an inner lid to help keep the product fresh and hygienic.

[ Review ] : Pixi Peel & Polish Resurfacing Concentrate

Product Description
This radiance revealing enzyme peel resurfaces for smoother, softer skin and a healthy looking glow.

I received a 15ml sample of Pixi Beauty Peel and Polish Resurfacing Concentrate after attending a Sephora event some time back. And of course, I was elated to try out the brand after hearing rave reviews of their products. You can check out my previous reviews on Pixi Glow Tonic Exfoliating Toner and Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Pixi Peel and Polish Resurfacing Concentrate comes in a 15ml pliable travel sized pink tube ( the retail size is 80ml ) with their distinctive scent which I can't describe in words. It is bearable and not offensive or overpowering but it took me awhile to get used to the scent. Some described it as a refreshing cucumber scent. You go decide, when you are at Sephora. :)

Review : Pixi Glow Tonic Exfoliating Toner

Product Description
A gently exfoliating toner for more even, brighter and clearer skin. Cult-favorite Glow Tonic by Pixi removes dead skin cells to reveal healthy glowing skin and a refined texture that looks and feels smooth. The hypoallergenic formula is made with botanical extracts, including aloe vera and ginseng, to soothe sensitive skin.

I received a 15ml travel size sample from one of Sephora's events and is so glad to have tried out the product. It is said to firm and tighten normal to dry, dull and ageing skin and the oxygenating tonic removes dead skin cells, leaving skin healthy and radiant. With 5% Glycolic, the fluid hydrates the skin, and Aloe Vera and Ginseng help to soothe during application.

Glycolic acid is part of the group of active compounds known as AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids). Derived from cane sugar: It has the smallest molecules in the group so is able to penetrate skin deeply and easily, making it the most effective for treating fine lines, acne, blackheads, dullness, oiliness etc.

Review : Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser

Product Description
This active yet gentle cleanser with 5% glycolic acid exfoliates to reveal a glowing, healthier-looking skintone. Mud deep cleans and detoxifies pores while hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and avocado oil plump and nourish the skin. Leaves complexion feeling smooth and purified.

I hardly ever use "acids" on my face - AHAs ( Glycolic, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid ) and BHAs ( Salicylic Acid, Citric Acid ), because of the fear of how it will react with sensitive skin like mine although I do come across lactic acid in my cleansers every now and then. 

AHAs are primarily used for mild hyperpigmentation like age spots, melasma and scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and surface wrinkles and uneven skin tone. BHAs are primarily used for acne and sun damage. It dries out excess oils and dead skin cells to unclog pores.
