We've captured what our reviewer thought of this product below.
'I was skeptical at first to try the Garlic & Tomato masque because of the fear that I was going to impermiate the room with the garlic scent. So on a night I decided to stay home alone, I tried this masque since I was having a major breakout (and didn't want to leave the house anyway.) Unbeknownst to me, the first initial smell was rather neutral, not a perfume scent but certainly not offensive. I did experience a light scent of crushed tomato but there was no scent of garlic whatsoever.
The masque is a puree consistency, which goes on like a paste unless you dilute it a bit with water. I wet my hands and put a dime size amount of the Garlic & Tomato in my hands and worked in into my skin; all over my face and neck. I was told to rub this in my skin in circular motions for about 2 minutes, so that is what I did. I immediately felt this product going to work. My skin tingled a little bit and I could feel it more active in places that I was experiencing breakouts - along my jawline and my cheeks. I left the masque on for 10 minutes. As time went on, the mask got tighter and tighter on my skin and felt hard on the outside.
Once I removed the mask my face felt SO soft. The redness in my skin was definitely lessened. The next day, my breakouts were significantly less... I would say they were almost gone by just using one treatment. Very unusual for my skin, where naturally my breakouts take about 7 days to be gone completely.
From that day on, I used the Garlic & Tomato Masque as a spot treatment. I put it directly onto my breakouts before I went to bed and by the next morning my skin looked so much better. Not only that, but using this treatment masque 3 times a week has definitely made my face less shiny overall. It claimed to regulate oil production and I have noticed a significant difference in my t-zone and nose overall. End result, I am a user of this product for life.'
