Review (3/5): Ok, but not as clarifying as expected.
First, Pelargonium Graveolens = Rose Geranium (I had to look it up!). Fancy flower aside, this mask has absolutely no scent. One of the main reasons I ordered this was because I expected a pleasant scent, so this was disappointing. The mud is very thin and a little watery which was surprising. Ultimately the mud doesn’t fully dry or pull my skin, and it’s pretty easy to wash off...no dried mud on my hairline! There are little bits of something in the mud, leaves I think, that I don’t care for. They’re aren’t a lot of them, so it seems like this wasn’t intentional and may be a quality control issue. Up close the bits look a little rotten and rather unappealing. After 15 minutes my pores look a little tighter, the few tiny blackheads I have are still there, and I can’t really say my skin feels more hydrated. It doesn’t feel dry, it pretty much feels like it always does. The packaging, as with all Freshme products is lovely, with the tube of mud packaged inside a matching box, so very giftable. Personally, I prefer the Freshme sheet masks to this mud. The clarifying benefits I expect from a mud mask just aren’t as obvious as I’d hoped.
