I got the wash and mask in the BR trial team. Firstly I can really see where L'Oreal was trying to go with these products. The packaging looks great and is cohesive, both products are quiet similar in smell and consistency. But to me they might as well have been two completely different products.
The mask is fantastic, it does an awesome job cleaning and brightening my skin, I really felt like it made a significant difference to how my skin looked and felt. It also did a great job helping to control my oil, I defiantly noticed that I was less oily the next day. I will continue to use this and would consider purchasing it once I have run out.
The wash on the other hand was horrible. It didn't make my skin feel clean, but somehow still managed to strip it completely of oil. This left my skin feeling quiet tight and I also got serveral large and painful pimples. This did help control my oil but because of the breakout I have thrown out this product and will not be using it now that the trial has finished. I wouldn't recommend this product at all.
Quiet honestly the mask was the saving grace of this trial. If your keen to try the line, skip the wash and get the mask. Its quiet good and you get a lot of product so IMO its totally worth it.
I was impressed with both of these products for not drying out my already very dry and sensitive skin. They did a great job of clearing up my t-zone - however i've suffered a hormonal zitout break which nothing seems to be working on.
The cleanser is lovely and soft - it doesn't dry your skin out despite containing clay and your skin feels lovely and supple afterwards. Preps your skin well for the rest of your skin care.
The mask doesn't take too long to dry and isn't hard to remove (meaning you don't need to scrub at your face for it) while I didn't notice much difference in my pores I did notice my t-zone not being as oily or gross.
Much like the reviewer below me I do wish they didn't test on animals. So it's unlikely i'll purchase these myself again but they are a fantastic well priced duo if you are in the market for a good clay cleanser and mask!
