Juicy Chemistry has received massive adoration from its users in a short span of time. I had the pleasure of trying out some of their products myself. In today’s post, we will talk about their Matcha Kakadu Plum face mask, and their Anti-Acne Soap.
A little background on my skin type, my facial skin is oily. It is prone to acne, rosacea and sensitivity. The skin on my body is normal with small acne on my back, chest and shoulders.
Matcha Kakadu Plum Face Mask
This mask can be mixed with any medium. I prefer using it with homemade curd. The application is smooth and easy. Since I use curd, the mask gives off a very cooling sensation. Upon consistent use, my skin is more radiant and bright. I, however, couldn’t see much difference regarding pigmentation. It is a hydrating mask and helps calm inflamed skin.
If you have acne-prone skin which is sensitive, you will enjoy this face mask. It works great for dull skin. The best part about Matcha Kakadu Plum face mask is that it does not strip off moisture, instead gives you a moisturized and hydrated skin.
Some of the key benefits mentioned in Juicy Chemistry’s website are:
- Rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and powerful antioxidants.
- Brings back the radiant youthful glow to dull and tired-looking skin. I can attest to this statement. It instantly rejuvenates my skin.
- Entails anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory, and bactericidal properties. Definitely helps with inflammation.
- Reduces the appearance of pigmentation, blemishes and dark spots. I, unfortunately, did not see any reduction in pigmentation and dark spots. But noticed considerable changes in blemishes.
- Leaves the skin deeply hydrated and nourished. It does a fantastic job of keeping the skin nourished and hydrated.
- Helps in keeping acne and skin irritations at bay. It did work in keeping acne at bay, however, caring for acne-prone skin is an amalgamation of one’s skincare routine and lifestyle, so I won’t credit this product solely for that.
Juicy Chemistry Cucumber, Matcha & Spearmint Organic Cold Pressed Soap
This product is meant for both face and body, but I prefer using it as a body soap. This soap cleanses and hydrates my skin. It lathers well and is easy to wash off. It helped me to an extent for my body acne, however; I am yet to see any difference in fading acne marks. Although it did not overly strip my facial skin, it felt slightly stretched. Which is why it works better as a body soap for me.
Some of the key benefits mentioned in Juicy Chemistry’s website are:
- Gently cleanses and hydrates skin. I attest to this. It does hydrate and gently cleanses my skin.
- Fights and reduces acne symptoms and inflammation. It helped reduce my body acne.
- Regulates sebum production and removes excess oil. I find it slightly stripping when used on facial skin.
- Accelerates healing and reduces acne marks and dark spots. I, unfortunately, did not witness a reduction in acne marks or dark spots.
- Improves skin texture and firmness. Didn’t see major difference with respect to skin texture.
My Thoughts
My experience with both the Juicy Chemistry products went well. I see myself reaching out for the face mask often. It is relaxing and a perfect accompaniment for a Sunday. Please note that this mask is a powder mask which you can turn into a paste using any medium of your choosing. The face mask retails for INR 975 for 20g, which I find to be a little steep. Especially when you consider the pricing vs quantity. It is also advised to use this mask twice or thrice a week, thus making it quite heavy for one’s pocket. The bar soap retails for INR 550 for 100g, it melts moderately, which again, I find to be a tad bit expensive. My only issue with Juicy Chemistry is its “No Preservatives” claim. Preservatives are good. We need preservatives.
