Alba Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask
Product Review
Last week, I tried a new facial mask from Alba Botanica. The brand is well-known for its natural products that are 100% vegetarian as well as paraben-, sulfate- and phthalates-free. I really wanted something that would be mild, yet effective due to my skin’s conditions. With that said, here is my product review for Alba’s Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask!
*Why I bought it: I had heard such wonderful reviews about Alba and its natural skincare line, so I wanted to try out the brand. Also, I was looking for a new weekly exfoliation product.
*Who did I test it on: Myself and my fiancé. I have combination skin that is also very sensitive, which is prone to breakouts or an allergic reaction. My fiancé, on the other hand, has oily skin that is extremely acne-prone.
Ingredients: Papaya and pineapple enzymes to exfoliate the dead skin cells.
*Pros: Gentle for all skin types, pH balanced (ideal for sensitive skin), hypoallergenic, extremely hydrating, gentle exfoliator, smell is amazing and price is affordable at $12-14!
*Cons: Not fragrance free, wonderful smell is from fragrance. Luckily I wasn’t allergic to it.
*Results: After our first mask, we both experienced smooth and soft skin. Our pores also seemed visibly smaller, and our skin felt extremely hydrated. Neither of us broke out from the mask after a day or two, which was an added bonus. It’s great that we could both use this product seeing as we have different skin issues and skin types! We will definitely use this product again.
