Tonymoly Tomatox Review

I got this from my good BR friend who loves to share her goodies with me (bless her). She gave me two big bundles of Tomatotox samples, which I have been lusting after for so long. I have seen and read the hype around the Tonymoly Tomatotox for a while now and always wanted to try it for myself after falling in love with Red Apple tox Honey cream and Panda’s dream white magic cream. I am now hook, lined and sinkered!

I have loads of the samples in the tomato shape but it comes in an actual tomato container which is uber cute and calls to my geeky side loud and clear! I adore cute containers and this definitely ticks that box!

Because I can't read Korean I just assumed the directions of how to use it, after all it looks like a moisturising cream. I rubbed it on my face and was always grossed out by the sticky feeling it left on my face every time. I hated using it but once the sticky feeling passed (usually overnight) my face was left supple and hydrated. I had done this at least fifteen times. When I came to review it on BR I found that in the directions you are to use it as a face wash/mask! How silly do you think I felt?! About as cabbage as you can feel hehe. From that point on I used it for its intended purpose and oh wow the results intensified. I was happy to bid farewell to that sticky feeling and welcomed a fresh, soft new canvas.

I have now bought the Tomatotox from a nz importer and oh the softness continues. I am so glad my friend allowed me to try it and love it. My skin thanks Tonymoly and my friend! My skin is less dry, less red and the flaky patches have mostly cleared up. I make this part of my night routine now to maintain this feeling I love so much. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I saw all the reviews and the packaging! Let's talk about the packaging. Perfum bottles are the pretty and cute when it comes to packaging, but Korean skincare are getting really good at some really cute packaging. This one comes in a tomato shaped jar. There's slight gradient in the lighter red at the top where there's a green stem.You open it up there's a plastic lid to keep the product fresh and there's a little plastic spatula for scooping out the product. Although the first ingredient on the list is tomatoe water, it doesn't smell like tomatoes. It has more of a fresh slightly floral scent. The mask is this white cream and it spreads well, so you only need about a couple scoops of the applicator to cover your face and neck. I actually take this all over my face including around my eyes, but not over my lips. The instructions on the box say to avoid contact with eyes but I haven't had any eye irritation from applying this to my eye area. Actually I this mask has been wonderful to use after some peels that would leave my skin sensitized, if my skin was really raw like when I get hayfever and rub my nose raw. I get some stinging around my nose but for the most part this mask is gentle on my red irritated skin. I found it to be more hydrating and moisturizing then some of my more expensive masks because it seems to have the ability to sink into my skin and the mask stays sticky and moist while it's on, whereas some other ones dry to the touch within a few minutes. The box says to massage the product in gently for 1-2 minutes and then leave this on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing this off using a patting motion. I usually leave this on for like 20 minutes or more but the short time that it takes to work makes this really convenient for me because it means that I can apply this prior to getting in the shower and since my shower takes longer than 5 minutes I can rinse this off at the end. When I rinse this off my skin feels like it got some moisture and it's soft and smooth. If I had some redness or irritation prior to applying this it, after rinsing this off my skin has calmed down a bit. I highly recommend this product. I've been using it a couple times a week for several months and I still have alot of product left. Plus it's so affordable for the amount and great for people short on time. And most of the ingredients are natural. The only con I can think of with this product is that it has alcohol seventh on the list of ingredients. But that's not enough to deter me repurchasing this when I eventually run out.

I was shocked to see this mask at a sale and I picked this up because it’s been on my wishlist forever now. I’ve heard great things about Tony Moly I had to give it a try for myself .

Packaging is cute as can possibly be . Shaped like a tomato . Inside consistency is a white paste creamy . Scent reminds me of fresh musk , not like tomatoes that’s what I was expecting lol

Application it goes on nicely . Spread out evenly after 10 minutes I wash this off and my skin is glowing .

Overall I think this product is over hyped . I prefer our kiwi brands for face masks . Their more affordable too . Tony Moly has samples definitely try those out first . It’s good but no wow moment here.
