last december, i was in singapore. and since it's holiday season, i was hoping to get some skincare set. i had the fresh, origins and pixi set in mind, but when i went to sephora, the fresh is already sold out. so i ended up buying the pixi the first time. but i wasn't giving up. i finally found the origins one, and when i bought it, i was a bit disappointed in pixi one. with almost similar price point, the origins set has more quantity than pixi set. oh well, i have bought them, so let's try whether it's worth the price or not.
this is a description from their website: nature's complexion clean-up crew clears the way for skin to act its best. bamboo charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers, white china clay absorbs environmental toxins, lecithin dissolves impurities. skin looks clear, feels perfectly pure.
formulated without parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, propylene glycol, mineral oil, DEA, petrolatum, paraffin, polyethylene beads, formaldehyde and animal ingredients (except cruelty free honey and beeswax)
the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in a box with holiday pattern on the border and transparent plastic window at front so you can see all three masks inside. at the back, there's short description in various languages and ingredients list in english for all three masks. there's a plastic slider which all 3 masks are placed inside. i have to throw away the box when i was in singapore so my baggage could fit, because it's bigger than the pixi one. the mask comes in a black plastic tube just like the full size one, but this one comes in smaller size, which is 30 ml. this is more amount than pixi set which each mask only comes in 15 ml. everything about the mini version is the same as the full size version.
the scent: this one is scentless. if i can pick some scent, it's perhaps because of the ingredients and it's super subtle. so if you don't like fragranced mask, you might like this one.
the product: the mask is grey creamy mask, similar to pixi. since it's creamy, it's easier to spread compared to freeman that's more dense. you can feel tightening sensation when it starts drying up, but it's not unpleasant. the mask turns darker as it's dried up completely.
the result: it's easy to wash off without extra work, and after that, i can feel my skin is fresher and brighter. i've used this as spot treatment as well, and depending on the stage of my acne, it helps calming it down and downsize the acne. but it takes 2-3 days to use as spot treatment before the acne is completely calm down and become smaller. and like pixi, this one is also not super drying, so if you have dry skin, you might get away using this once or twice a week.
i do like this one too. honestly, i can't choose favorites among my mud mask/charcoal mask. all 3 of them are good in different way. but if i can say, you'd probably considering getting origins over pixi, just because the origins might be more expensive, but it comes in bigger size. the full size one comes in 75 ml while pixi only comes in 45 ml. so.. it's totally depends on your budget and how frequent you use your mask. as for me, i probably won't buy the full size since i'm okay with freeman. but when i see sample mask like this, i will totally get origins instead of pixi next time.
