My skin is getting softer and softer with each use. I'm also not getting red patches after I've cleaned my face like other face washes would do. My pores are also starting to get smaller. I love this product.

A face mask for men is a little unusual so I was intrigued when I first saw this. It comes simply packaged in a plain brown bag with labels on front and rear. The front label is very clear and describes the product well. I was excited to try this. The texture is a fine greyish brown powder that when mixed with water forms a clay type paste. The fragrance is fairly subtle with cocoa being predominant. On first use it takes a bit of trial and error to get the consistency of the mix right, it needs to be not too thin. Once on the face it feels cold at first and soon warms up and tightens on the skin. The whole experience is very calming and relaxing and on washing it off my skin felt really smooth and fresh and clean. I found washing it off is best done in the shower, it could be done over the sink but it's quite a messy process. I really enjoyed using this for the first time and am looking forward to continuing with it for the remainder of the trial. I really enjoyed using this product. The whole process is relaxing and calming and almost forces you to take time out away from whatever else you have going on. I enjoyed using it and found it pleasurable and my skin felt soft and smooth after use. On the product website it claims to neutralise free radicals and I really can't say whether this is accurate or not. It also says that you will experience a brighter, healthier complexion with each use and I would say that this is the case. It is a really nice product to use and very relaxing as well as being a little different. The packaging and labelling are really nice and simple, over all this is a nice product.

This serum has truly transformed my skin! From the first use, I noticed a difference. My skin felt smoother, more supple, and deeply hydrated. Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, leaving my skin looking younger and more radiant. The serum absorbs quickly without feeling greasy and has a lovely, natural fragrance. My complexion is brighter and more even-toned, giving me a newfound confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Unapologetic Skin's Anti-Aging Face Serum to anyone seeking a high-quality product that delivers. It has exceeded my expectations and earned a permanent place in my skincare routine.

On my first impression, it seemed to be a quality product, due to the good packaging, well presented graphics and glass rather than plastic. The smell was very natural- not synthetic and no overpowering perfume. The texture was quite viscous and thick and the product was quite clear. I felt excited regarding using the product and was interested about what the results would be. Upon first using the product, my skin felt cleansed and moisturised. There were no elements where it failed. It had a hydrating effect on my face. My skin feels fresh and softer to the touch. It felt smoother and the performance was great throughout. I enjoyed testing this product; prior to use I had no preconceived ideas on how it would improve my skin but after a month, my skin feels noticeably softer and smoother to the touch. I thoroughly enjoyed testing and it was excellent at getting rid of grime and sweat after exercise. Product is reasonably priced.

Unapologetic skin cleansing oil and make-up remover is a winner for me (male who shaves his face). Following instructions I've found a way of using the oil to cleanse my face and neck area as well as to lay a foundation prior to applying suds (both aerosol and brush). This is a first-class product and has quickly become part of my daily routine both home and abroad. There is little aroma (very suitable), and the texture is top-hole for cleansing or applying. I like it...a lot. I can offer no better accolade than to include a free-from product into my routine and that's what I've done with this versatile oil. The fragrance is subtle and is not a difficulty to use, it's taken the place of my usual brand. You may decide that a product is good however, testing is where it's at. This oil works well in our en-suite allowing both partners to test the product and offer an opinion. My partner also likes this oil. We both however, agree that this oil started well and is continuing to out-perform other similar products. No issues with allergies. This product is used mostly facially and delivers what we want and pay for. I've sometimes used it for cleansing however, mostly for pre and post wet shaving - it's gooooood and my face has benefitted. This is a good product, it's now one of my brands. I like simple packaging and delivery system, my partner likes more colour levelled with practicality. This product was well-tested and came up trumps.

Handy sized glass bottle, no fragrance, interested to see how good a cleansing oil is. Having never used a cleansing oil before I wasn't sure what to expect but I have been really impressed. It lifts grime and make up off skin effortlessly, leaving my skin hydrated and lovely and soft. It's gentle on my skin and removed eye make up effortlessly and most importantly didn't irritate the sensitive skin around my eyes. It is very easy to remove with a damp flannel and make up melts away super easy without leaving an oily residue. It's a lovely way to remove make up and I found it was so good and kind to my skin that I didn't need to use a toner afterwards. Ordinarily I use eye make up remover, cleanser and toner but this is so good I only need one product now. It promises to remove makeup and soften and hydrate your skin - it definitely does this. I have really enjoyed using this product. It is very effective at removing make up and leaves my skin lovely and soft too. I wouldn't change anything, it's a fantastic product that effortlessly removes daily grime and makeup, massaging the oil in feels like a daily facial and it's a lovely product to use. I thought the price is quite expensive for a cleanser but as it removes the need for 3 different products I feel it is worth it, especially as you don't need much. I like the glass bottle which can easily be recycled.

I thought it was a lovely generous sized bottle, with clear bold branding. It’s refreshing to see a face oil without a pipette applicator. The oil is great at lifting off make-up without drying out skin in the way that soap and some cleansers can. You do have to be focused on the amount of oil that you tip out to use. I tested this and another make-up remover to see how effective it was, and the oil performed much better. Especially good at helping to lift off stubborn mascara, leaving the skin feeling enriched and not drained at the end of a long day. A great product to wash the day away and lift off makeup without drying skin out. My skin was left feeling invigorated at the end of the day and I found that washing this off with a hot cloth also helped to exfoliate away dead skin with the oil acting to replenish the skin so as to no leave it dull. My skin was definitely left feeling more youthful, although the fine lines remain. There is a lightness to it where it is felt feeling cleaned and not drained. There was not a huge amount of promises made by this bottle, other than it would take off make-up (tick) cleanse skin (tick) and help with anti-aging (maybe). I think this was a lovely cleanser and it was very successful at taking off the make-up.

I really like the simplicity of the packaging and how little space it takes. Also how cool is the name of this brand? Thumbs up for it! The mask looks promising and I’m looking forward to trying it. Texture when dry - a greyish powder. Very fine and delicate. Fragrance - pretty much neutral. There is a very, very slight powdery, clean scent, which I like. When mixed - surprised to see it turns green! It worries me that it feels a bit gritty when mixed with water though, so I wonder how it will sit and feel on my face. Besides that, it feels pleasantly lightweight. It applied well. It only took me a very short while to figure out the proportions to make it perfect for my liking. The consistency was pleasant, it stayed on the face well and was mess free. It still felt slightly gritty, but as long as I didn’t move it too much across my face during application, it didn’t bother me. Drying time was quick and as expected - it felt tight once dry. I did not find it unpleasant though. I still could smile or talk while having it on. I liked that it felt neutral while on my face (no cooling, warming, tingling etc sensations). After (easy) removal I immediately noticed my face feeling super soft! Plush and smooth. This feeling lasted at least a couple of hours. So far this was the only noticeable change. My biggest and most noticeable change was improvement of my skin tone. Less redness, less patchiness and definitely way more flattering look. I strongly believe it also helped me to reduce dullness and the lacklustre look of my skin. My face looked healthier. In terms of anti-aging - the biggest change was around my cheeks area. Skin looked more plumped, fuller and with better density. I also think the mask helped to keep my cheeks comfortable and hydrated. I used it a few times on my décolletage and that was simply divine! My skin was baby smooth and so soft after! It looked revived and healthy. The following text is copied from their website and I have inserted my comments. "Works to lighten and clean your complexion while removing impurities.” - I definitely agree that it helped to lighten and brighten my face, however I wouldn’t say it helped to remove impurities. "Rhassoul Clay reduces dryness and enhances skin clarity and elasticity” - I was surprised how hydrated and comfortable my cheeks were after using this mask. I would also agree with the statement that it enhances elasticity. This mask exceeded my expectations. As much as I love face masks, I always expect them to give me a short lasting benefit only. This mask really provides long lasting results. It was wonderful to notice my skin changing and being restored to its better days. This is a lovely little product. I am still baffled by the grittiness when mixed up. It did not bother or irritate my sensitive skin. I didn’t feel like the tiny granules were in any way harsh or unpleasant on my skin. Price - Reasonable price which I would be happy to pay and it lasted a long time. Packaging/labelling - a wonderful way to keep it simple and practical. No mess, no bulky jars. It’s a winner for me. All the info I’d look for was included at the back, so I knew exactly what this product would be about. Free from - a short and lovely ingredients list. What also makes me happy is the brand’s ethos, sustainability and being environmentally conscious. Other - I would love to try other products by this brand. I would also happily recommend this mask to my friends and family.

The packet looks practical, no frills. That's OK. There's an honesty about it and it feels very contemporary in style. The powder looks all natural and personally I found it didn't carry any prominent smell. I was surprised how far the powder went, little is needed to make up a face-full. It mixes quickly, spreads and sticks really well. I loved that there was no heat or tingling as the mask dried. I didn't particularly feel the "decadence". Not sure there was a visible change in the condition of my skin after one use but it was not unpleasant to use and there was no tightening or heat and skin did not go red and blotchy like it has in the past with clay based masks. Seems very promising. I thought I would try mixing it with oil to protect and moisturise my skin. This was effective although messy. I continued to use the mask using water in the mixture and this was fine. It’s a nicely balanced mask which has helped to maintain clear skin without stripping out the moisture and damaging my skin which is fragile now I am older. I find it hard to sit and relax so it was good for me to put on the mask and sit with my feet up. The pores in my skin look clean and the surface of my skin is nice and soft. The mask has maintained and slightly improved the condition of my skin. It would be nice if it smelled of something. Sitting still doing nothing with my eyes closed meant my other senses were primed and an appropriate natural fragrance would have been nice

My husband does use face masks every now and again, a few times a month to give his skin a little extra hydration and TLC. He was interested to try it out and liked the idea of a clay mask and thought the different ingredients sounded interesting. On first use, I assisted my husband in putting the mask together, we used 4 level teaspoons of the mask powder and added 3 teaspoons of water, this worked ok, however as he had a beard the mixture was bit too much, so he ended up using the same amount of powder to water (3 teaspoons of each) . After using the product his skin did feel very soft and the next morning his skin did have a glow to it! After continuing to use the mask weekly (using 3 teaspoons of both water and powder) and leaving on for 5-7 minutes his skin does look refreshed and it feels very soft. The mask claims to tighten and clean your complexion while removing impurities, which we both felt it did, his skin has continued to feel very soft and his skin does glow after use. He liked the effects. Overall my husband liked trying out the mask. He liked the fragrance, and he liked the effects. Price wise, he thought it was ok. My husband felt that the product appeared very natural and he felt it was a good example as a free from product.

A handy travel friendly pouch! And who doesn’t want anti ageing effects… i’m wondering if it can live up to this description but intrigued by the ingredients too. I’m excited to see if it brightens and clears my skin without drying it out, as some clay type masks can. I found the mask really easy to make up from the pouch; mess free with a bowl and spoon, and non-clumping when mixing. There's a surprising amount in the pouch, with weekly use I think it'll last a good couple of months at least. It's a crazy cool colour! It spread easily onto the skin and felt cooling and pleasant, with no irritation. After letting it dry as suggested it came off with a warm washcloth and a bit of persistence. My dry chapped skin was a bit red, as expected after a clay mask and hot cloth - but I was pleased to find my skin looked bright and taut without feeling dry or tight, and with no dullness. I really enjoyed making this a part of my weekly Sunday self-care routine. I worried it might be dry, but no - every time I used it, my skin looked bright and fresh, clean but not tight or dry. I noticed after a couple of weeks my pores looked smaller. I liked that I could wander around doing day to day jobs with it on while it dried! My skin is smooth and less dry with regular use. It seems to do a good job of exfoliating and brightening without drying, and my pores look smaller. I don't particularly notice any change in elasticity or fine lines, but I think that would be a very big ask... I actually wouldn't change a thing about this. I liked the consistency, texture, portability, how easily it washes off - it's a great mask, feels like a spa day at home. I like the travel friendly packaging, the clear labelling and ingredients. It is transparent in its 'free-from' creds.

On the second morning of using product (third application) my skin felt smoother and looked brighter. I do find it fiddly to pour the product from the bottle as there is no pourer or pipette. The outside of the bottle has already got drips on it. After 2 weeks I feel my skin is less dry and has a brighter glow to it. Ultimately I liked this product a lot, it has definitely made my skin less reactive after use. I Often find face cleansers either too oily or too drying.

I'm very interested in the ingredient blend, as expected for a cleansing oil, easily removed with a damp cloth, no sticky or oily residue left behind, skin feels fresh and hydrated. The cleansing oil was consistent in its performance, it removed my light makeup, skin feels OK and does not exacerbate irritations or redness. My Skin simply feels fresh and clean after use. It delivered in terms of what I like about using cleansing oils, it was perfectly good at doing its job to remove the daily grime feeling and makeup. Fragrance free is a bonus for allergies.

I liked the fact this cleansing oil claims anti-aging properties. Texture is rich, thick and oily as expected. It has a pleasant and delicate sweet scent. The first use was quite tricky and messy I would say. Recommended directions of use is to apply a small amount of this oil to face, neck, around the eyes by gently massaging it into skin then wipe off with a damp face cloth. This cleanser removes makeup including waterproof mascara effortlessly. This cleanser manages to remove all makeup effortlessly. It is also easy to rinse the oil off the face both with and without a face cloth. After each use my skin feels refreshed but it is not dry, rough or itchy. It feels nice, fresh and smooth. This cleansing face oil gently cleans skin and removes makeup without any problems even the waterproof one. Its rich oily texture does not strip the skin from its protective barrier that keeps the moisture in which helps to protect skin from premature aging. I found this product to be reasonably priced.

first impression - intrigued, I don't believe I have made a mask before. I can't wait to mix it up and see what kind of texture it will be. It smells like a health drink so I'm hoping it will help my skin. The first time I mixed it up, I used about a dessert spoon of mask to about 3/4 dessert spoons of water (cold). The mask mixed easily but the packet meant I had a bit of spilling, the mask is so fine that it reminded me of icing sugar and the only way to describe the way it did blow into the air. It applied really well and as I expected it too. It did dry out towards the end of the 20 minutes but I didn't find it uncomfortable, there was no need to add any extra water. It rinsed off easily with a wash cloth. There was no noticeable changes straight away, my skin just felt clean. The next morning, my skin looked less red and my breakouts looked less angry and some had gone. Each time I have used it my skin improves. The spots on my forehead become less noticeable and my skin feels cleaner and doesn't look as shiny. This mask has helped my skin. The mask has helped with my spots and it has made them feel less angry. My skin feels less congested and clogged and it feels like the mask has really helped to make it smoother.
