i was in singapore last christmas and i decided to get some mask set for myself. i intended to get origins mask set or fresh one, but the fresh one is too expensive and the origins is nowhere to be seen at sephora, so i decided to get the pixi one. and i almost immediately regret that decision since the mask is so small! oh well.. i've tried the glow mud mask first, of course, and this is the second one i tried. so let's see.
this is the description from their website: detoxifying peel-off mask draws out impurities and lifts away oil to reveal immediate results. it contains a unique green superfood blend that includes avocado, cucumber, aloe, green tea and bamboo extract to help firm & refine. great for congested dull and tired skin.

the packaging: it comes in a cardboard box with description at the back. inside there's a plastic slider where all three masks are placed inside. the mask is in a light green plastic tube with screw cap. at the back of the tube is another description. there's aluminium sealing on the opening of the tube. it's a little squeeze tube. let me tell you that the sample is small. it's only 15 ml, half the size of origins mask set, which i later found, so i was kind of irritated by that fact.

the scent: oh well, i don't know that pixi products is scented. and i thought this will smell just okay or maybe weird, but turns out i was wrong. it has a nice floral scent, not too overwhelming. a bit relaxing even.

| the t-zone peel-off mask |
the product: it's a light green, like jade, gel cream mask that's easy to spread out. it feels cooling at first and it's dried out after 10-15 minutes. okay, the instruction is a bit misleading. it's said to spread this thickly, but i apply it too thick on my forehead on my first try, and it won't dried out. i have problems peeling it off, so second try, i spread it thinly.

the result: after spreading it thinly and it's dried out completely, it's easy to peel it off and it doesn't hurt at all. my skin feels soft and smooth afterward. my pores look clean, but there's no blackhead or whatsoever poking out from the surface of the peeled off mask. not that it's supposed to do that though. i can feel my skin a bit tight after that, but not too much.

honestly, it works okay, but compared to the other two, this one falls short. i don't reach for it as much as i reach for the other masks. this is somehow not fit into my routine. if i want to do pore cleaning, i usually reach for the mud mask or clay mask. so, definitely won't buy the full size. but if you like pixi and their masks, you could try. if you have dry skin, you might not like this. but if you have problem with pores and oily skin, you might like it. now, from price point, the full size is only 45 ml and it costs really expensive. so, for me, i don't think i will buy the full size. if you really like pixi, you could buy it. but if you don't or if you're on tight budget, there's another option out there.
