Tried and True - Review Update - Week 1 Beyond Belief A-B-H Alpha-Beta-Hydroxy Skin Care

Hello Everyone and thanks for visiting!

This is a Tried and True - Review Update for the Beyond Belief A-B-H Alpha-Beta-Hydroxy Skin Care

We are now at the first week mark, so this will be a quick Review.

First off, my routine starts with washing the face with the PORE REFINING foaming cleanser.

Then I apply the OIL FREE moisturizer all over my face.

AAAGH! That's a scary pic! Haha.

After the moisturizer has dried, I then apply the SHINE CONTROL mattifying toner...

Sometimes, I use my fingers to apply it and sometimes I use a cotton ball.

And because today is a Saturday, I've washed my face with the foaming cleanser and now I am using the PORE REFINING clay mask (which only calls for a thin coat once a week for 20 minutes).
This time I'm only waiting 20 minutes, then I'm taking it off...

So overall, for week one, I'm satisfied with the way my face feels and with how it looks. The only complaint, if you see the photo below, is that I broke out on my chin (the rest are just freckles).

The PORE REFINING foaming cleanser makes my face feel smooth and clean, it does tingle a little, but it's not unbearable by any means, this feeling is common with facial cleansers and just tells me it's working.

The OIL FREE moisturizer goes on very watery and makes my skin feel wet, but then it's like my face soaks up the moisture and it feels great. This has a manly musky-type smell, but it's not a strong smell.

The SHINE CONTROL mattifying toner is weird. There I've said it, it's WEIRD! It comes out a little gritty, but you can't really feel the grit, you can just see it. I'm assuming it's the oil-absorbing mineral powder that is in the mattifying toner. It really does mattify my skin, which is awesome! However, I also feel like this toner makes my skin feel dewy - which is odd because where there is dew, there is oil, right?!? WRONG!! Usually I use the toner in between the foaming cleanser and the moisturizer but in this case, because of the mattifying quality, I've decided to use it after the moisturizer but before makeup.

The PORE REFINING clay mask isn't anything special. It's just a mask that you put on your face and let dry, then you take it off using water and a face cloth. It doesn't heat up (thermal mask) and I don't find it has done anything to shrink my pores as of yet, but I still have 3 weeks to go.Overall, I like the Beyond Belief A-B-H Alpha-Beta-Hydroxy Skin Care Line and I hope that by the second week I've be loving it!
