Benefit Skincare

Hey guys! So today I thought i'd talk to you about Benefit Cosmetics skincare range, as usual I have very oily skin (also sensitive) so I have tried beyond so many different products. Over the Christmas period I was given a Benefit skincare mini set, I've also picked up a few samples etc over the times of buying off the Benefit shop!

1. Foaming Clean Facial Wash
This is step one to cleaning, I apply this after "damping" my face and rub all over my face including my neck. I have to warn you guys, this is a very soft and gentle facial wash I found if you still had makeup on it would not work as well, it probably wouldn't remove and properly "wash" your face.

After using this product, it leaves your skin feeling super soft and smooth. I personally never had any issues using this product with my skin, I never broke out majorly & would rate this 8/10. Click here to view the item


2. Refined Finish Facial Polish
This product is very much a scrub, applying to freshly washed skin which is still damp only a little amount is needed. I personally am not a fan of scrubs as I suffer with oily skin, I find if you use a scrub with oily skin it irritates the skin even more. Although I still wanted to get an honest review of this product, I set out and trailed this on my mums skin (who is normal) it left her skin feeling smooth, with no issues and breakouts! She told me "I would 100% buy this product again without a doubt", rating it a huge 9/10! Click here to view the item

3. Toning Lotion
Again, this products bottle is a major hate of mine. I have no understanding on how to get the product out other than tipping the bottle upside down and waiting for it to fall out. At first, this is easy to do because the product is so liquid and "runny" although, when your towards the end it could take a few minutes... Which personally is no good if your in a rush! 

Anyway, I apply this product usually using a small piece of cotton wool. And then dabbing it across my face, I find dabbing it prevents spreading it across the skin which could irritate and using a cotton wool piece is more softer on my sensitive skin. I personally had no breakouts, no issues with this product and it honestly did its job! I would consider buying this product again, it's just the bottle which puts me off. I would honestly rate this 8/10, Click here to view the item

4. Triple Performing 
To begin with, I must admit I am not a huge fan nor lover of this product. At first I hated the design of the bottle, I had no idea how to get the product out. If I tipped the bottle upside down, it would literally take ages to get any out.... My fingers wouldn't fit inside the bottle, I ended up using the end of a small eye shadow brush (wooden end) and poking it inside to get some out... It was a very long process, on top of that it was only a matter of a few days before I noticed the lid cracked / smashed (I have no idea how this even happened). 

Of the product itself, I applied this to keep my face hydrated and prevent it from drying out. A lot of people over on the site highly recommend this, personally I never saw any dramatic change, it didn't make any effect on my skin either. Therefore overall this product is "ok-bad" personally because of the packaging of the bottle, I would rate this 4/10. Click here to view the item

5. Facial Cream
This product is very useful if you suffer with dry skin, as I've said I am the complete opposite and suffer with oily skin. Although as of recent I have switched to use tea-tree products to control the oilyness, I found using a little bit of this product along my nose (which is the area which tends to dry out) works perfect, I have no issues, its light weight, it keeps my nose hydrated perfectly and I only use a little amount. I would honestly rate this product as an 7/10, Click here to view the item

6. Eye cream
Now this product is suppose to be used if you suffer with "dark circles", however.... I am only 18 and I have never suffered with this problem (yet), although I thought I would still give it a go... I applied a small amount of this using my index finger, and rubbing along under my eyes and blending backwards towards my nose. I found you only need a little amount of this, when I applied it my eyes felt open, fresh, and more absorb to the air. I never found any other difference other than this, although the rating online is highly recommended. I would personally purchase a mini of this before paying out for the full size, rating 7/10. Click here to view the item
