I am lucky enough to be on Pixi’s PR list so periodically I get sent new and old products as they launch and promote them. Thank you Pixi Beauty. I like to integrate the skincare items into my routine and test them out, so today I’m sharing some of the products that I enjoyed the most from the lines I’ve received recently. Stay tuned for a bonus flop at the end that wasn’t my favorite.

I would never recommend a product that I didn't love and all opinions are my own. I am thankful for you choosing to purchase through my links, as it helps me create more content for Andrea Fontana Beauty.

Hydrating Milky Cleanser

I have kept this cleanser in the shower since I received it and I would say that this is a great cleanser for two specific types of people; someone who has sensitive skin and needs a basic cleanser, or anyone who does most of their treating with the rest of their skincare routine (i.e. serums, masks, oils, etc). I don’t use this on days I’ve worn makeup (after I’ve removed my makeup first) or when my skin is really struggling because I don’t think it does a good enough job of deep cleansing. However, everyone should have a simple basic cleanser on hand for when you just need a gentle cleanse. This would be great as an AM cleanser if you don’t need much treatment.

Retinol Jasmine Cleanser

I love this cleanser for days when I’m feeling drier than normal. For reference, I’m usually normal to oily in the warmer months and normal to dry in the winter months. I think this would be a great for someone who is on the drier side and looking for anti-aging products in their routine. It definitely leaves my skin feeling hydrated and nourished. The thing I love most about this Retinol line from Pixi Beauty is that none of the Retinol products are extremely concentrated so the will not leave you feeling dry and peel-y like some retinoids. They are a great intro to Retinol line.

Glow Tonic

I don’t think this needs another ‘glowing’ review because it definitely is a cult favorite (pun intended). If you’re looking for a good daily Glycolic Acid toner, check this one out. Remember, whenever using exfoliating products it’s important that you are wearing your SPF daily, even if you won’t be in the sun for long periods of time.

Rose Ceramide Cream

I can’t remember which collection this moisturizer came in, but I love it. Another basic that I think is important for every woman’s skincare routine, a good ceramide moisturizer is great for nights when you feel dry. I like the light refreshing rose scent.

Peel & Polish Resurfacing Concentrate

I love this exfoliating product because it’s great for days when you don’t have the time or energy for waiting for an exfoliating mask to sit. It is kind of a 2-in-1 physical and chemical exfoliation, but is still gentle. You simply apply it (avoiding your eye area), let it sit for a couple minutes, and then either wash it off or massive it in for a bonus physical exfoliation. I would do it 2 times max a week, unless you are doing more exfoliation throughout the week.

Glow Mud Mask

This is one of my favorite types of masks because it feels like a science experiment on your face haha. You apply it like a typical charcoal mask and as it dries, it dries darker in areas where you have trouble spots. I think this is great if you are newer to skincare and don’t necessarily know how to distinguish this yourself. I love to add my hydrocolloid zit patches after using this mask so I know which areas need extra help after the mask.

DeroxifEYE Facial Treatment

I love a good eye patch but am really specific about which ones I use since I often give these to clients before makeup applications if they are puffy in the undereye area. While I still prefer my Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches these are definitely a close second and much more affordable option. They are great at depuffing and smoothing out the undereye area if you struggle with fine lines, allergies, puffiness, etc.

Overnight Retinol Oil

This is probably my most used product from Pixi so far and I love it. It is a simple retinol oil that you apply as your last step at night. I love how hydrating it is, but really feel like it helps keep the texture of my skin smoother. Again, as I mentioned earlier in this post, I love how this oil is a great every day retinol product and highly recommend it for someone who is looking to add a simple retinoid into their routine.

Bonus Flop: Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover

I have tried so hard to love this product for months but I just can’t get behind it. In order for me to really love a makeup remover, it needs to be able to remove all eye makeup easily without me having to use much pressure on the eye area. This is a delicate space that needs to be taken care of, especially if you are someone who wears makeup regularly. This one claims to remove even waterproof makeup, but I find it has issues removing even my regular non-waterproof mascara. I find that I still gravitate towards oil cleansers for this first step of a makeup removing double cleanse. If you do not wear much eye makeup or want a makeup remover for just your face, this might be a good option for you, as I love the pump dispenser and smell.

Have a beautiful week,

Depuff:

I love a good eye gel mask for under the eyes, in fact I carry them in my kit to give to most brides, especially those who haven’t slept well leading up to the wedding! My go to brand though is Peter Thomas Roth’s De-Toc Cucumber Hydra-Gel Eye Patches, because they work the best out of all the ones I’ve tried (Click here to see my previous post about how well they work). However, I have to say these Detoxif-EYE Facial Treatment Eye Patches gave the PTR one’s a run for their money. I have used them on a couple brides now and myself and I think they do just as great of a job! I used them this past weekend on a bride who was puffy from allergies and they did such a great job of smoothing out any puffiness and fine lines before applying her makeup.

Detox:

The product I was most excited to see in this goodie box was the Glow Mud Mask, because I had heard other bloggers/youtubers RAVE about it (cough*@whatkatefinds*cough). I have to say, I was really impressed with it! I love how when it’s try you can see it working in your trouble areas. This is great if you are congested or oily and new to the skincare world and don’t quite know what to look for on your skin. It paints a clear picture as to where your trouble spots are when it comes to impurities. I love it. I love that it’s pretty quick drying too so you only have to wear it for about 15 minutes.

Peel:

This Peel & Polish mask is a fun way to prep your skin and exfoliate it before a treatment mask. I love how quick and effective it is. Simply apply it for 2 minutes and it will chemically exfoliate your face, then if you want a little extra exfoliation you can scrub it with wet finger tips and gently buff the skin a little more. As you probably know, I am not the greatest fan of mechanical exfoliation, but I like how gentle the grit is of this product. As expected though, I use it more so for the chemical portion and barely move it around before removing with a gentle damp cloth (which they so kindly provided in the goodie box! You really thought of everything Pixi Beauty)!

Glow:

You know I was excited to see the GLOW Glycolic Boost Sheet Masks come in this box because I love a good Glycolic Acid product. It really helps give a glow to your skin when used regularly! I loved this sheet mask. I am excited that I received more than one and this is a product I will definitely buy in the future. I try to use a low level glycolic acid serum every night, but love a slightly more intense treatment every so often. I like that with sheet masks you don’t rinse the product off afterwards, which is important with glycolic acid because when it’s at a lower level, you want it to sit on the skin to do it’s magic. I love this mask for nights when I’m in a rush but my skin is breaking out and needs some help. Aka, last night on day 2 of my period. haha

Purify:

I should have read more carefully with the T-Zone Peel Off Mask, but for some reason I didn’t realize that it was basically going to mimic a Biore Pore Strip. So you might be able to guess, but I’m not a big fan of these types of products and I tell you to generally stay away from them. Here’s why; the stuff in your pores is called sebaceous filaments and it’s simply a sign of healthy oil production which is a good thing! I understand that sometimes it can be too much and you can feel self conscious about it, so my suggestion is to skip the pore strips or peel off masks and go straight for the mud or charcoal masks (like the GLOW MUD one above!) and dissolve the excess oil instead of ripping it out. This is too rough on your pores, leaves them wide open and susceptible to acne infections and such. Plus, if you remove this oil too often, your body will simply up your oil production and try to refill your pores with even more oil!

Overall, I’m really loving most of the products Pixi Beauty sent me. I highly recommend checking some of them out if they sound like they could work for some of your skin issues. As always, let me know if you have questions about any of them!

Have a beautiful day,

Andrea
