little white truths

Verdict

Like many, I was a little suspicious of a 'one minute facial' that could deliver results as claimed. But I was a convert from the first use - this product is amazing!

It's a green product with an odd consistency - it's a little like a gel, but it has a slightly chunky/grainy texture. When you apply it to your face and massage it in, that chunkiness increases and it almost feels dry and clumpy. That's the time to add a little water, and once you do this, it turns into a very smooth and almost slick product that's a little shiny. Once this happens and you've given it a good massage, this is when you leave it on for a minute (or even more, if you wish).

I've seen quite a few reviewers comment on the odd scent and call it 'chemical' in nature. I know what they mean but to me it smells like cough drops (in particular butter menthols) in a slightly sweet, lolly kind of way and I don't mind the smell at all. Do test it though if you're particularly sensitive to fragranced products, but also be aware that the smell doesn't linger once you've washed the product off so you may be able to tolerate it for the short time it's on your face.

I really don't know how to describe the results I get from this product, other than to say that it absolutely meets all its claims - a rare thing, in my experience! Yes it instantly revitalises and visibly rejuvenates the skin; yes it smooths, firms and tones; yes it reduces signs of fatigue and imperfections; and yes it evens out the complexion and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The other bonus of this product is that it does all these things so quickly! No other mask I've used can achieve this much in such a short space of time - a god-send when you have a baby or young kids and can barely find time to go to the loo!

The only downside of the product is that it ain't cheap. Having said this, a little goes a long way so even this little 20ml travel size is still going strong after six weeks of frequent use, and like me you may choose to pick up a Ren kit (I've seen many of these available at Mecca) so you can try a few 'star' products before committing to purchasing anything in full size.

All in all, this product is amazeballs and it's become a staple for me. I've given it an HG tag and I'll be repurchasing it once my tube is gone.

Have you used this? Let me know what you think if so : )
