Soap & Glory The Fab Pore Facial Peel

I got this last week after reading loads of reviews on it, and seeing as my skin is playing up a bit of late I thought this could help de-clog my pores and make my skin clearer. Although it says it's a peel its just a mask really with some scrubby green beads in it. It also contains a mushroom extract to help tighten pores, salicylic acid that loosens up dead cells, kaolin for absorbing oil and vitamins E and C for an antioxidant boost. The instructions say to rub 'a grape sized dollop' into your face and massage in until the green beads have dissolved. You can then leave it on for 5 mins or 15 mins for a more intensive treatment before rinsing off. This can be repeated 2-3 times weekly. The first time I used this it did sting a little after I'd applied it but the next time I tried it I didn't experience any stinging. It feels really refreshing and sort of tingly! I leave it on for the full 15 minutes as I feel my skin needs all the help it can get! I'm not really sure what the beads do apart from being mildy exfoliating but I do enjoy working it into the areas where my pores are largest such as my cheeks and the bit in between my eyebrows, as well as my chin where I get the most stubborn spots. I do think it's a bit expensive at £8 (though it is buy one get 2nd half price on selected facial skincare items in Boots atm) but it does seem to have worked at reducing my blemishes. They haven't disappeared entirely but it has helped dry some up and my skin is looking brighter. I've not had it long so hopefully I'll see better results with more use.
