GIOVANNID:tox Purifying Facial Mask - Super Antioxidants Acai & Goji Berry, Activated Charcoal, Removes Impurities for a Beautiful Complexion, Hypoallergenic, Dermatologist Tested - 4 oz

I am posting my full review of this system to each product I purchased! See below, and I hope you find this review helpful!I read a ton of reviews in searching for a new line of facial cleansing products, and settled on this as my newest attempt. I have a rather infuriating combination of skin on my face. I get large, deep bumps that tend not to come to a head on my chin (but only one or two here and there) and forehead (randomly), while also having smaller, reddish or white heads on my forehead. I have blackheads on my nose, and then recently have started waking up to small white bumps on either side of my nose. The bumps on my cheeks just beside my nose is also accompanied by a redness a lot of the time to that area of the skin. I have ruled out rosacea with my doctor. My skin is also relatively sensitive to moisturizers, and often to exfoliating scrubs, which can be annoying since my forehead also gets dry and sometimes flaky. So there's what I was dealing with.I bought the D:tox Purifying Facial Cleanser, the Purifying Facial Scrub, the System Replenishing Facial Moisturizer, and the Purifying Facial Mask. I have now been using the system for just over three weeks, and here is what I think:Cleanser: I absolutely love it. It's not overly scented, though it does smell pleasant, it's mostly a clean smell. It's a thick liquid, but not too thick. I note that it doesn't stick to the bottle too much, and doesn't leave any sort of residue on it as I deplete the bottle, which I think is noteworthy. The empty plastic at the top of the bottle is crystal clear. It doesn't foam a lot, but it doesn't need to. After washing my face with this (I was twice daily, in the morning and at night) my skin feels calm, the redness is reduced visibly, and my skin doesn't get inflamed. I really love using this wash. I really love that there are no harsh chemicals like salicylic acid and it still is clearing up my acne without attacking the other parts of my skin. I think this cleanser, while solving my acne problems, would also be a wonderful daily wash for folks that do not have acne. It's clean and fresh and gentle.Scrub: For the first 2.5 weeks, I used this every time I washed my face. I am actually quite impressed with it. This isn't like some products that have the visible microbeads, it's almost like a fine, smooth sand is mixed in with an opaque cream. It doesn't really have much of a scent to it. Like the cleanser, it smells clean. I mentioned my skin has issues with scrubs sometimes. In past attempts at using other skin care systems, I will often reduce the number of times I use a scrub even more significantly than they will suggest, because it will irritate my skin if used to frequently. I don't like removing scrubs entirely, however, because the exfoliation leaves my skin looking brighter, and pulls that dead skin that causes grossness from certain areas. This scrub is so gentle. I very gently scrub in circular motions all over my face and the results are obvious. My skin feels softer, and I have no more flaking at all ever! This is also the work of the moisturizer, but I'll get to that in a moment. I have in the last week, started to experiment with only using this every other day, and will update my review after I've done this for a bit longer.Moisturizer: I have to tell you, regardless of the system, I have gone through so. many. moisturizers. I have tried vegan ones, unscented ones, oil free ones, combo skin, and on and one. I struggle most with this because of the range of need on my face. My forehead is oily, but the skin also gets dry and flaky sometimes. My nose is constantly oily, and my cheeks and chin tend to be pretty normal. I've used moisturizer combinations on different parts of my face and just nothing has ever been quite as great as this stuff. I mean, I'm in love with the moisturizer. I use a good almost nickel sized bit and rub it in my hands and all over my face and neck. It was off-putting to me at first, because it seemed a tad on the greasy side when I got it applied, however, after thoroughly massaging it in, after a few minutes it absorbs and doesn't feel heavy at all. It's creamy and luxurious and the difference it has made to evening my skin has been completely awesome. I no longer get dry flakiness, and my nose is getting the proper level of moisture so it's not overly producing oil anymore. I cannot say enough good things about this stuff!Mask: I use the mask 2-3 times per week. I apply a thin layer all over my face while dry and then leave it for 20 minutes while I fold clothes and watch Netflix. I usually use it after the scrub, but before moisturizing. It drys completely but doesn't flake off. It's a thick cream and, like the other products, is lightly scented but only to smell clean and earthy. After rinsing, my skin feels like it's had oil and impurities sucked out of it, without overly drying out my face. It's especially satisfying to apply the moisturizer after the mask.Summary: This is an excellent system for mild to moderate acne, but my opinion is that this is also a great product for those looking for a cleaning system or product without acne. Depending on your needs, just parts of the system will work for you. It's a great product for sensitive skin, and incredibly affordable compared to other systems. I recommend this highly!

Works wonders with out drying out you're skin leaves skin super soft

I have sensitive combination skin, so finding face masks that don’t feel too oily or leave me with painfully dry skin is kind of difficult. It’s a goldilocks situation.This face mask is the answer! It’s cooling, smells delightfully earthy, and most importantly leaves my skin feeling so clean and refreshed. I wash my face daily but I can tell when it’s time to do a face mask because my pores “feel” clogged and kind of oily. Anyway this is an affordable product that i use probably once every week or two, so it lasts quite a while.Absolutely worth it!

Most clay-like masks cause me skin break outs. These days I mostly use glycolic peel type masks on my mature skin. But once in a while I like the firming and tightening effect of a mask that hardens and this one is my go to. I’ve found if I thin it out with water it still works great and less likely to cause little skin bumps. I also do my neck and entire upper chest area to minimize the look of sun damage.I’m a big fan of the very affordable Giovanni skincare line. A little goes a long way with all their products. The detox line is great for all skin types.

This came out to be a little cheaper than their website so I ordered here.I’m very picky about skincare and what won’t break me out any more than I already do. It’s a lot of effort to not touch my face throughout the day and wash it about five times. This lotion works for me. I’m 35 and still could break out really bad if not careful. I used to when I was a teacher. Now I’m in a different career and it’s not so bad. It helps I can go to the bathroom whenever I want and I don’t work 10, 12, 17 hour days now. I also had an airbag deploy from a recall (probably 12 yrs ago) with heavy canvas and powder and my chin and neck skin was never quite the same so that area is even more sensitive and prone to break out.Long story long, I test out different products and really assess before it becomes the norm and this one passed the test about 8 years ago. Glad I can still find this set.

Good product

This has been my go to shower face wash and leaves my skin soft.

My favourite clay mask. I like this brand. They also have good products for hair.

I've been trying so many different clay facial masks and I've finally found one with clay, charcoal and oatmeal that doesn't have artificial fragrances and soap ingredients in ita little goes a long way with this mask, you only need a thin layer to cover your entire face so one tube lasts quite a whileI have dry skin so I can't do masks too often, I use masks once a week or once every other weekit dries pretty quickly, and feels great when I rinse it off with cool water, it feels like it also gently exfoliates my skin :)it says to leave it on for 20 min but my skin gets a bit too dry so I leave it on for about 10min instead.my face does not feel over dry or tight after rinsing it off, and it effectively gets rid of excess oil from my pores and my face feels soft and clean afterward.love the ingredients, and definitely will buy again !
