This is a very nice skin care set suitable for gift giving. The presentation is excellent and comes with a cloth bag to store it in. Although, I think I would prefer to use the bag for something else.
The size of the containers and what you get could be a bit more generous than it is. In my opinion, most of them look more like trial size.
The facial cleaner is what you get the most of and as a facial cleaner, it does a fair job. It’s typical in the ingredients that most facial washes contain and is a thick paste much like tooth paste. The thickness is fine it lathers up as expected. I prefer to use such facial washers prior to showering for easier rinsing and that’s how I used this product.
I found that this facial wash reacted the way most facial washes do and this is why I don’t like using them on my skin type: They strip away the natural oils of the skin. This leaves the skin shinny where as if using simply a good skin toner, it would not. This might be good for a deep cleaning of the skin if you wanted to do that, but most skin cleaners would do an adequate job as this one.
It comes with a facial scrub that I saw as on the thin side and a little runny. Being on the thin side, this could account for the scrubbing particles to settle to the bottom or one side of the container, as it really could have done a better job. Or, it's possible this just didn't contain that much of the scrubbing particles. If you prefer a gentle scrub, this might work for you. Or, you could just add a bit of water to a half empty tube of your regular brand and get the same results.
It also comes with a day and a night moisturizer. Both have little to no scent and as thick as you’d expect such moisturizers to be. However, I did find the night moisturizer thicker. Both glided on the skin easily enough but both took their sweet time to absorb into the skin. The night moisturizer lingered excessively long. In fact, you’re probably going to have the best moisturized pillow on the block as it’s going to rub off on it.
The day moisturizer contains vitamin E and while I like products that contain this, this is the main ingredient in it. For the price, I rather expected something more substantial than this inexpensive ingredient.
On the whole, I found the day moisturizer left my face looking a bit shiny. On the night one, I didn’t see much benefit from it that couldn’t be obtained from buying a trial sample from the bin of a bargain basement shop.
For the price, the amount (or lack there of) and the lackluster results that are achieved, I have to say this isn’t a fantastic skin care set. As a facial wash, it does a fair job. However, the moisturizers and facial scrub are mediocre at best.
