freeman beauty apple cider vinegar 4-in-1 foaming clay

i bought this sample along with 4 other mask samples. i've used two of them, and this is the third one that i've tried. actually, somehow trying those mask samples get me addicted again to wash-off mask. and travel sizes or sample sizes are perfect for me since i get bored easily but i want to try many products, so unless i really, really love it, i won't buy it in full size for now. now, move on to the mask, actually this 4-in-1 labelling make me curious about this mask. how can a mask be a facial cleanser as well? moreover be a toner.. that's why i was curious and bought it to find out myself.

this is the description from the website: this cleansing multi-action foaming clay cleans, scrubs, tones and absorbs oil so even unruly skin behaves better than ever. kaolin and bentonite clays clear out oils and debris from deep within pores. pumice exfoliates to clear away dead skin cells with apple cider vinegar tones for a radiant finish.
directions as daily cleanser & scrub: massage gently onto damp skin. rinse well.
directions as a mask & toner: apply mask to face and neck, avoiding contact with eyes. let dry and rinse with warm water.

the packaging: look at that picture.. the color is pretty, isn't it? now, the travel or sample size comes in exact color and design, just in irregular shape sachet. again, the sachet is quite big, so i've used this twice full-face and i still have plenty.

the scent: one thing i like about freeman masks are they smell great. this one too. it smells like fresh apple. so refreshing. very different from my usual clay mask.

the product: this is another creamy clay, but with a little grit inside. you can feel it grain when you touch it with your fingers. the color is pink. yes, the colors are another reason to like this mask. they come in various colors, sometimes even bright so it feels cheerful and uplifting. i've used this as mask and scrub. as mask, it dries after 15-20 minutes and easy to wash afterwards. as scrub, i feel this quite abrasive. this is the weird part. i will compare it to skinfood black sugar scrub which i've used before. the black sugar feels coarse under my finger, however when i massaged it on my skin, the coarse feeling is gone. like the sugar melt when it comes in contact with water. while this scrub, at first it feels like fine grains, but then it feels coarse when being massaged. at my second attempt, i used it too long and didn't add enough water so it was hard to remove and it made my skin red. it also feels tight as it dries. and even though i didn't apply it too close to my eyes, somehow it stings when i applied around eyes area.

the result: ooohhh.. i love to touch my face after using this mask. it makes my face oh so clean and soft. minus the redness though.

actually, i think if you mix your scrub with your clay mask, perhaps you will get this mask. but i also have tried using my scrub foam after using my clay mask, and the result is similar. and that's why i have to be careful since i was addicted to the result, i used my previous combo twice a week and it gave me over exfoliated skin. so i stick to once a week or once in two week. i think this mask will suit all skin types but for sensitive skin must use it with caution.
