Got an advance sample of this product in the mail earlier in the week (I love my job :D ), it's being released in November. The accompanying literature says that it is supposed to infuse the skin with antioxidants while gently deep-cleansing. I tried it out last night, here are my thoughts so far:
- Packaging - it's in a metal tube with a screw top lid. I like things in tubes - more hygienic.
- Consistency - it's less thick than their other Primrose masque, so it spreads across the face in a finer layer. Seems to be less clay-y than the Primrose masque also - perhaps more suitable for dry skin than Primrose?
- Smell - mostly lavender. Nice.
- Colour - pale beige-grey. Personally I think green is the proper colour for a face masque but I don't suppose it really matters ;)
Drying time - pretty quick, less than 10 minutes. It's not face-cracking dry, which is good.
Effects - I do feel my skin looks nice and bright today, and it did feel nice and clean and soft afterwards. I don't suppose the "infusion of antioxidants" is going to give me much result after just one application, but I did enjoy using it :)
