Superfacialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil 200ml // £10.99

Hello my darlings!

As you will now if you have read some of my recent posts I have been trying to perfect a new skincare regime as my skin has not been playing ball lately. I have the really annoying combination type of skin which means that it gets both dry and oily, and to top this all off it is hyper-sensitive with most products causing me great irritation. So, while I was recently prowling the aisles of Boots trying to find some new products to save my current skin disaster, I discovered the Superfacialist range by Una Brennan, which promises to provide you with ‘healthy, beautiful, youthful looking skin.’ As I haven’t tried this range before I decided to just purchase two items just in case I didn’t like it. After some thoughtful deliberation I decided on the Rose Hydrate Intense Moisture Mask and the Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil.

The Rose Hydrate Intense Moisture Mask

Claims to: “Boost skin moisture levels and radiance with Superfacialist thirst-quenching Intense Moisture Mask developed even for the most sensitive skins. It expertly blends White Willow extract, known to enhance skin cell turnover, Vitamin E and Urea with soothing Marshmallow extract to effectively hydrate, plump and replenish skin. Complexion appears calmer and visibly renewed, glowing with a healthier radiance.” 

I really like the packaging of the Una Brennan range as it simplistic and looks a lot more high-end than it’s price tag. On application the Rose Intense Moisture Mask seems more like a moistouriser than a facial mask, you simply apply a generous layer to your face, leave for five minutes and then wash off with a warm muslin cloth. After I had washed off the mask my skin felt incredibly soft and moiturised. I preferred this mask to other facial masks I have tried, especially the clay ones, as it didn’t feel tight on my skin and it was also a lot easier to wash off as it becomes a milk-like consistency when you apply water.  I usually try to stick to fragrance-free products and I wasn’t 100% keen on the rose scent of the mask as it reminded me of the drawer liners that you would find in an outdated B&B. But on the bright side the fragrance isn’t long-lasting and I couldn’t smell it once I had washed it off. As this is an intense moisture mask it is best to only use this product once or twice a week, I use mine on a Sunday night so that I am ready to face the week ahead!

Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil

Claims to: “The ultimate cleansing experience for fresher, more revived skin starts with this unique lightweight cleansing oil. Infused with Vitamin C and nourishing Olive, Grapeseed and Rosehip oils, this highly soluble oil transforms itself, upon contact with water, into a light milky texture. Boosted with Rosemary oil, Vitamin E and soothing Cucumber oil it gently dissolves face and eye make-up and removes daily impurities.Skin is left cleansed, refreshed and softer to the touch.”

The cleansing oil ‘does what it says on the tin’ – it effortlessly dissolves and removes your make-up and feels soothing as you massage it into your skin.  Unlike the Intense Moisture Mask I quite like this product’s scent as it is quite subtle with only slight hints of cucumber and rosemary. I did like this product as it leaves your skin cleansed, refreshed and considerably softer, but I found it irritated my eyes (even though it said it was suitable to remove eye make-up) and caused me to break out. 

I think that I will repurchase the Superfacialist Rose Intense Moisture Mask as I was pleasantly surprised, but I I won’t be re-purchasing the cleansing oil. I will be returning to Boots soon to pick up some other Una Brennan products as I feel they are great budget gems that do exactly what they set out to do. 

Have you tried any Superfacialist products by Una Brennan? What is your favourite product in the range?

Lots of Love,
