PRO
- I liked the texture of the truth 3in 1 Melting cleanser , I may add it to my wish list
CON
- Honestly, I disliked everything about the polishing sugar mask. I found too gritty and abrasive for my sensitive skin. I also couldn't bear the thick honey substance the sugar was mixed in, with every single application all I felt was the feeling of a new spot rearing its head through my skin.
-
Still on the polish, I personally would gave preferred either the pumpkin extract or the raw sugar because I felt it was too abrasive for most skin types to bear both .
The Vitamin C concentrate burned on application; it felt like a peel gone wrong. It was very uncomfortable especially after I just scraped my face with what felt like sand paper. Again If presented with the opportunity to use the concentrate on its own, I would but never with the polish . - After this experience the next day instead of a glow, I woke up to a very irritated skin that lead to a couple acne spots here and there so suffice to say it was a wrap.
I was really wanted to love this product but it just didn't work out. I am curious to hear any positive experience with this product. What do you think, what was your experience and did you use it differently? Please comment below. Have a blessed day and thank you for reading and sharing.
