Boscia Skincare Thoughts?

I've really been looking more into Boscia products since I absolutely love their Exfoliating Peel Gel. I have a quite a few products on my Loves list on Sephora but I'd love to hear anyone's reviews or opinions on Boscia skincare products.

I'm looking into the Detoxifying Black Cleanser, Balancing Facial Tonic, Luminizing Black Mask, Charcoal Pore Pudding Intensive Wash Off Treatment, Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel, and Self Defense Vital Antioxidant Moisture SPF 30. (that's a lot, lol)

For reference I have normal to oily skin, large pores on my cheeks, occasional breakouts, and hyper pigmentation.

I've been looking into their exfoliating peel gel but the price is quite high for me so I'm not so sure. I have quite dry skin around my nose and chin so was going to try it but not sure if it's worth it for the price.

I have used the cleanser and I liked it a lot. It has a bit of a warming sensation and is not too drying.

Danielle, I think it's absolutely worth the price! My skin has greatly benefited from using it, it's super gentle but very effective (:

Thank you, Jenny! I think I'm going to get the travel size of the cleanser so I can try it out before committing to a full size bottle (:

I got the sample trio of the black cleanser, mask, and hydration gel, it was a pretty generous amount of product for the price. If they still have it, try it out! Of the three, I liked the mask best. I would recommend only using it on your t-zone, or removing any peach fuzz from the perimeter of the face, because it's basically like superglue on your face. But it did an excellent job of clearing my pores, so I thought it was worth it. I liked the cleanser, it gave a good clean, but... I don't know, I find heating/cooling products a little irritating, which is also why the gel didn't work out, it contains menthol. Just something to consider if you have any skin sensitivities.

Thank you, Kailey! I don't have any skin sensitivity issues, my skin's actually pretty resilient, but thanks for the warning! (:

I'll have to give it a try, thanks Alexis! Btw, I watch all your videos on youtube, you're really great! :)

I enjoyed the Detoxifying Black Cleanser a lot! It does have a warming sensation, and I wasn't particularly fond of the smell (it was very earthy...for some reason it smelled almost tomato-y lol) but I feel like it was a solid cleanser that left my skin clean and soft. I wasn't breaking out too much at the time I used it though, so I don't know how it meshes with any spots. I used the whole bottle, but forgot to repurchase. Hmm...you've kind of made me want to try it again.

The only other product on your list I've tried is the Luminizing Black Mask, which I wasn't particularly fond of. It noticeably stung my eyes and I didn't apply it anywhere near my eye area. I avoided above my orbital socket, but I did do my whole nose because that's where I have clogged pores which I think is what made it sting. And it's very tricky to remove - it definitely hurts a bit to peel it off. It's not too bad, and I did enjoy that it pulled off the peach fuzz on my face. I could deal with all that, because really none of that is a big issue to me except I didn't really feel it did anything or made a difference in my skin. Maybe with regular use you'd see something, but my skin felt the same before as it did after - albeit a little bit sorer after. I'll use up what I have, but I wouldn't repurchase.

My favorite Boscia product was actually the Cool Blue Calming Mask, which is unfortunately discontinued! It peeled off much easier than the black mask though, so perhaps some of their other masks are more easily peel-able as well, but I've never tried them. Worth checking into them though :)

Thank you so much, Jamie! I've really been liking my Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask (I re-fall in love with that mask all the time, lol) so I'm thinking I might skip the Luminizing Black Mask, at least for now (:
