L&I Apothecary 4 fl. Oz. Arista Pumpkin Enzyme Mask - Exfoliating mask for Uneven tone, Fine lines and Dullness. Clarifying mask.

This face mask is really great! There is an expensive version of it out there, however this one is more affordable and it has honestly helped my skin. It says to use it 2-3 times a week for 5-7 minutes but I use it once a week and I’ve noticed a difference in my skin. Just FYI if you throw away the box you lose the directions. It leaves me with less breakouts and brightens my skin. It smells exactly like a real pumpkin so if you hate that smell it’s not for you. Your face will feel really tingly during the mask which I love. It does say facial mild peel on the box but I haven’t had any peeling even while leaving it on more than 7 minutes.

I decided to try Arista Pumpkin Enzyme Mask current COVID-19 health crisis, as an alternative due to the inability to see my regular esthetician for my regular monthly facials - where I typically receive a different professional (read: more potent glycolic level) brand pumpkin enzyme mask to my face. Since it’s been almost two months since my last facial I had to find something to exfoliate my sensitive skin. I’m so thrilled I found this product. My skin felt refreshed and noticeably smoother after the first application. It’s natural, effective and does tingle a little the way an enzyme mask should. One bonus is that the glycolic acid in Arista Pumpkin is much lower what they use at my salon, do I felt safer and more comfortable applying this on myself with low risk of redness or irritation. I’ve had bad reactions in the last when the glycolic acid content percentage is higher. The only thing that is confusing about this product is that online the ingredient list indicates there is 3%-5% glycolic acid, but on the actual box that arrives it says it is 1%-2%. Which is it?Tip: always be sure to close tightly your eyes right when rinsing this off to avoid the sting!

Fabulous product to give your skin a nice peel. Your skin looks glorious after

I love this pumpkin enzyme mask. I originally was looking for one after seeing a more expensive brand that has been going around on social media, but felt like it was way too expensive. This one did the trick for me. It's a very soothing texture, doesn't pull your skin too much as it dries. You can really feel it working as the beads work to clean your pores. I feel a tiny bit of burning on the spots I know need a good cleanse. It smells really good and has the color/texture of real pumpkin. I always notice my skin looks more glow-y and soft after I wash it off.The size of the container threw me off as it is very small, however, I have used it about 3x, and it is only about halfway empty because a little goes a long way. I'd buy it again once I run out!

This stuff is great!! Makes your skin feels so clean! Does tingle a little (but that's how you know it's working, right??)

bought this because I didn’t want to spring for the Peter Thomas Roth version and I liked it so much after the first few uses that I decided to go for the expensive PTR mask. This one works way better. It’s not as mild, so it may be less suitable for sensitive skin, but you really can’t beat this for the price and quality. It has smoothed out my skin and really helped keep some very stubborn ingrown hairs around my chin under control.

I bought this after reading a lot of good reviews. I have acne-prone skin and am always interested in natural skin care products for oil/acne control. This mask has a very nice pumpkin scent. I like the feel of pumpkin pulp spread all over my face and the tingling warm sensation during the first few seconds after I spread the mask on my face. Now the drawbacks: first, it takes a long time and a lot of water to wash it off - not good if you try to conserve water in a desert state; second, I really don't feel the effectiveness of this mask being good for treating acne-prone skin. In fact, I feel nothing after a few months of using it. The ineffectiveness means I wasted my money and this jar is taking up space until I finish the product. I'm much better off being an acne control mask made by a mass-market brand like St. Ives or Queen Helene from a drug store.

So I know everyone says this, but I didn't get one of those dumb cards in the mail that said if you write over you we're going to send you free stuff. When you get this in the mail it is packaged in a nice, thoughtful way that's going to make you think that you're going to get the free card though lol. I'm just a nearly 50-year-old woman who likes to dump acid on her face every few weeks, so she can stay cougaring it up for a few more years. The problem with the higher glycolic and lactic acids that I've been traditionally dumping on my face is that they put me out of commission for a few days. this sucks because the only time I can really do it is on a Friday and then my whole weekend I basically look like I should be on a spit. The thing I like about this particular mask is that it is definitely strong/tingly enough (yes, Wussies, it burns any existing irritation) to do the tightening that I would need for the next day, but doesn't put me out of commission. I have been using this for about 2 weeks every 3 or 4 days and to be honest with you it does as good of a job as my every month heavy duty acid peel. I would go so far as to say a better job because I can control the variables a little bit more. Worth every penny; I don't even feel like I've skimmed the surface of the jar. I'm anticipating that 2x a week I will probably use this jar in 6 months.
