I am a huge Pixi fan and I am slowly but surely making my way through the entire catalogue of products. The Glow Getter set features three amazing products which earn high praise from me and today I am sharing them with you.
Earning its stripes as a cult product is Pixi Glow Tonic, a product I am sure you have all heard of, come across and might even have tried. One of the biggest selling points for the Pixi Glow Tonic is how gentle it is and it is a perfect introductory product for the brand. It has an oil and alcohol-free formula making it great for those with sensitive skin and its main job is to not only exfoliate the skin but to also help tone, firm and tighten the skin. In removing those dead skin cells it leaves a much healthier looking skin.
Here's what it boasts:
- Exfoliates and purifies the skin with Glycolic Acid
- Ginseng improves circulation and energizes
- Aloe vera soothes and hydrates
- Refines the appearance of pores
- Gently accelerates cell renewal to reveal a brighter, glowing complexion
- Balances, heals and soothes for radient, healthier looking skin
- Alcohol free
- Suitable for all skin types
I like using this as part of my skincare routine in the morning. I feel energized and good to go with the rest of the day when I've used this, not to mention, how bright my skin looks (and feels!) after use.
As I mentioned before, I'm a big fan in case you hadn't noticed already!
PIXI GLOW MUD CLEANSER 135ML £18
The Glow Mud Cleanser is one of the newer additions to the Pixi Glow Getters collection and a product I have been wanting to try for such a long time.
Here's what it claims to do:
- A deep pore cleansing mud, enriched with 5% glycolic and soothing botanicals
- Formulated to provide effective cleansing, yet is mild enough for all skin
- Complexion is cleansed and gently exfoliated to reveal radiant and healthy skin
- Deep pore cleansing leaving skin clean and glowing
- Gently exfoliates and revitalizes
- Mud deep cleanses
- Glycolic acid enhances complexion's glow
Its claims are pretty impressive, so I was excited to see if this lived up to it's expectations. For texture, this is quite thick. I like applying it to wet hands and rubbing them together to evenly dispense the product before working it into my skin. I'm not sure about you, but I always feel a little bit strange putting a mud cleanser on, but this actually feels weirdly satisfying.
I worked this into my skin for a good 30 seconds before rinsing off. It was lightly exfoliating but certainly not rough on my skin. With many mud masks, I often find them a little tough to rinse off, but this actually came off easily. Once I patted my face dry, my skin felt really smooth and I didn't experience any tingling which you often find with other mud based products and nor did my skin feel as though it had been stripped, another issue I face with mud cleansers.
The verdict? My skin feels silky smooth and squeaky clean. Using this at the end of the day after a hard day's work in the city really makes my face feel de-clogged and properly cleansed. I'm impressed.
PIXI GLOW TONIC TO GO EXFOLIATING TONER PADS £24
I first came across these a few months ago and thought it was an ingenious idea. After using the Nip + Fab version, which I like, these ones appealed to me much more because they come from Pixi.
The pot contains 60 pads which I like, it makes them quite affordable knowing there are a lot there, but not so many that they're likely to dry out quickly. According to it's packaging, These pre-soaked pads "tone, brighten, hydrate, and gently exfoliate." It also claims that the results will leave you with clearer and smoother skin, is formulated with 5% Glycolic Acid, is alcohol free, cruelty free and is Hypoallergenic.
They sound pretty impressive, so I was excited to give them a try. Knowing how much I liked the Nip + Fab version, these would need to be incredible to make me replace them.
To use, I apply these to my face/neck and leave on for a good 2-3 minutes before rinsing off with cool water (apparently you should use cool water to neutralize peel). I didn't experience any tingling but apparently it's perfectly normal if you do.
Do they live up to their claims? Absolutely. I really love these and dare I say it, I prefer them to the nip + fab ones. They definitely hold their moisture and are quite 'wet' which I really like. These exfoliate the skin and make me feel like I've had a really deep clean. It's the skincare equivalent of taking your bra off at the end of the day – absolute bliss!
So there's my thoughts on The Glow Getter set. All in all, I'm really impressed and look forward to trying more from the Pixi range, if there's anything I haven't yet tried!
