** I received this product for free from Picky and T'else in exchange for my honest review **
First off can we just stop and appreciate the pleasing esthetic of this product. The simple glass packaging, with the oh so bubbly formula inside. I literally played with this bottle for a good 20 minutes when I got it, just looking at it. The bubbles are SO FUN!!
My skin loves Kombucha and any type of tea ingredients in general, so I was so pleased to receive this one.
So here is the thing, I haven't gotten to use this product long enough to see results. I've only had it about 2 weeks but I've been very careful during that time what I've put on my skin since I'm trying to clear up a hormonal breakout. I have used it enough to know I enjoy, but not long enough to see if it stands up to it's claims.
This product, more than likely would be very helpful to my skin during this time. It is formulated with 74% Kombucha which has natural probiotics to help support barrier function and health, which in turn decrease breakouts. Kombucha is calming and hydrating. This claims to soothe and brighten blemish prone skin and reduce inflammation. In addition, it containsTriple HA mixture, Allantoin, Camellia Sinesis Leaf Extract, hence the name "Teatox" and Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, along with a host of other beneficial fermented ingredients. A dream formula for acne and breakout prone skin.
So why have I not used it more? Unfortunately, it also contains some fragrant oils such as Bergamot fruit oil as well as orange and tangerine peel oil and a few others. Thankfully, these are near the bottom of the inci list and usually I wouldn't think twice about using this day and night, but bergamot especially can sometimes cause irritation to my skin when it's already broken out. So far it hasn't seemed to cause any noticeable issues but that's why I haven't used it more.
Once my breakout is clear I will be diving straight in to this GORGEOUS product FOR SURE!!
This formula is PERFECTION... the texture, the ingredients, the packaging... the addition of essential oils really just is unnecessary in my opinion.
