(120ml, Pumpkin Facial Mild Peel/Masque) - 120ml Arista Pumpkin Enzyme Mask - Exfoliating mask, Clarifying mask, Leaves Skin Brightened, Hydrated, Replenished and Renewed. Brightening face mask

This face mask is really great! There is an expensive version of it out there, however this one is more affordable and it has honestly helped my skin. It says to use it 2-3 times a week for 5-7 minutes but I use it once a week and I’ve noticed a difference in my skin. Just FYI if you throw away the box you lose the directions. It leaves me with less breakouts and brightens my skin. It smells exactly like a real pumpkin so if you hate that smell it’s not for you. Your face will feel really tingly during the mask which I love. It does say facial mild peel on the box but I haven’t had any peeling even while leaving it on more than 7 minutes.

I decided to try Arista Pumpkin Enzyme Mask current COVID-19 health crisis, as an alternative due to the inability to see my regular esthetician for my regular monthly facials - where I typically receive a different professional (read: more potent glycolic level) brand pumpkin enzyme mask to my face. Since it’s been almost two months since my last facial I had to find something to exfoliate my sensitive skin. I’m so thrilled I found this product. My skin felt refreshed and noticeably smoother after the first application. It’s natural, effective and does tingle a little the way an enzyme mask should. One bonus is that the glycolic acid in Arista Pumpkin is much lower what they use at my salon, do I felt safer and more comfortable applying this on myself with low risk of redness or irritation. I’ve had bad reactions in the last when the glycolic acid content percentage is higher. The only thing that is confusing about this product is that online the ingredient list indicates there is 3%-5% glycolic acid, but on the actual box that arrives it says it is 1%-2%. Which is it? Tip: always be sure to close tightly your eyes right when rinsing this off to avoid the sting!

Used this for the first time last night and I noticed slightly brighter and smoother skin right after. I can’t wait to see what continuing application will do. Now, I saw lots of reviews about burning and reactions and I wanted to share some tips to those who decide to purchase. 1. Apply Vaseline to sensitive areas. I applied around my eyes, nostrils and the outer corners of my lips. 2. Avoid using retinoids or aha/bhas while using this product. Wait one week after using them or else this can cause redness and irritation (burning) 3. Wait at least 1-2 weeks after waxing to apply this to your skin 4. Don’t freak out if you feel tingling or see redness at first… if it BURNS then wash it off right away. 5. During the next 5 days avoid any sort of exfoliation. 6. Right after, I like to apply hyaluronic acid on damp skin and then a ceramide moisturizer, then once those have absorbed a bit I apply an occlusive (Vaseline) to lock in the hydration. 7. And the most important rule of all… SUNSCREEN . Apply it no matter the weather. Your skin is fresh and can easily develop hyperpigmentation. Hats are also recommended. 8. Last but not least, try a small patch test. Enjoy!

I was looking for an inexpensive pumpkin mask and I ran across this one. I like it a lot. The packaging is very appealing and sleek, I think it makes me like the product even more. As for the product itself, I like that it smells like pumpkin. It smells like I smashed a pumpkin pie in my face, I love pumpkin pie so I find the scent appealing. It did burn the first couple of times I put it on but after continuing to use it (along with my skin care routine) it does not burn anymore and it makes my skin look and feel so smooth. Would buy again and would definitely recommend if you believe beauty is pain. You get through the initial burning and you’re golden. **Note: it doesn’t dry— unless you leave it on for awhile and a little goes a long way unless you want to spend awhile washing it off.

I bought this after reading a lot of good reviews. I have acne-prone skin and am always interested in natural skin care products for oil/acne control. This mask has a very nice pumpkin scent. I like the feel of pumpkin pulp spread all over my face and the tingling warm sensation during the first few seconds after I spread the mask on my face. Now the drawbacks: first, it takes a long time and a lot of water to wash it off - not good if you try to conserve water in a desert state; second, I really don't feel the effectiveness of this mask being good for treating acne-prone skin. In fact, I feel nothing after a few months of using it. The ineffectiveness means I wasted my money and this jar is taking up space until I finish the product. I'm much better off being an acne control mask made by a mass-market brand like St. Ives or Queen Helene from a drug store.
