Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Review

Hi! Lets do some masking with Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask today! I have been trying the mini set. Peter Thomas Roth is a leading skincare brand with a full range of skincare. They are especially popular for their active and powerful face masks. Some of the popular ones are the 24K Gold Mask, Rose Stem Cell Mask, Cucumber gel mask, the Irish Moor Mud Mask and many more. But today, I have Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask to talk about.

Exfoliation is a very important step in skincare. It helps to get rid of the top layer of the dead skin cells, that usually block the pores and lead to whiteheads/blackheads and acne. My first micro-dermabrasion kit was by L’Oreal, years ago. It was amazing to see how my skin had totally transformed. I was bummed that it was discontinued. But I always kept looking for a similar product. And I was happy when I got to try Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion, after long wait.

In this process of trial and error I learned so much about gentle exfoliation and AHAs’. And there is no looking back at those harsh scrubs any more. Now exfoliation is a very important step in my skincare routine. It makes my skin soft, smooth and brighter by taking away all the dead skin and revealing brighter even complexion. However, I try to use the gentle ones with great instant results.

Product Description – This powerful, triple-action manual, chemical and enzymatic exfoliating treatment adresses a dull, aging and congested complexion in three ways : exfoliates with Pumpkin Enzyme, reveals with Alpha Hydroxy Acid and polishes with Aluminum Oxide Crystals. Helps even the appearance of skin tone, smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles and clarify to reveal skin that looks smoother, younger, radiant and revitalized.

The packaging is a light plastic tub, with a stopper that does not stay in place and a lid. Well! Maybe, because it is a mini set the packaging is light and not sturdy. But it is still travel friendly as the jars are mini and screw tight. However, the mask inside is what is more important.

The texture of Peter Thomas Roth Pumkin Enzyme Mask is thick gel like and has those exfoliating crystals. The crystals however are very fine and sand like. The color and the scent is very similar to pumpkin.

The triple action formula of Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask is very interesting. There are a number of active ingredients in this formula.

To name some :

Pumpkin Enzyme – the main ingredient in this mask is very effective in breaking down dead cells and helps to exfoliate the skin. This helps to smooth the surface of the skin and makes it soft and radiant. However, these enzymes are powerful, so it may feel a bit irritating for those with sensitive skin.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA’s) – AHA’s are the natural compound found in sugarcane. The molecules are very small so they penetrate easily and deeper into the skin. These AHA’s help to prevent acne, minimize the appearance of pores, exfoliate the skin deeply without any irritation. It also helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. In short, it chemically exfoliates the skin to help reveal a more youthful, fresher and radiant complexion. This is a very gentle way to keep your skin in good condition..

Aluminum Oxide Crystals – This is another important ingredient in the pumpkin enzyme mask. This provides an effective way to polish the skin with physical exfoliation. It helps to improves the appearance of dull complexion.

Glycerin – Glycerin is a humuctant, that is important to keep the skin hydrated during the extreme exfoliation. This ingredient is found in many skincare products for its anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to soothe and nourish the skin.

There are a number of other active ingredients like lactic acid which is also an alpha hydroxy acid, that gently exfoliates the skin while also providing hydration.

Application

I apply a thin layer to clean skin. Then gently massage a little in circular motion. Leave it on for about ten minutes. It starts to tingle, as soon as I apply on my face. And the tingle is like more. However, if you are new to the AHA’s or your skin is sensitive, I suggest you leave for lesser time. I rinse it off with running water. I use this mask once a week. My skin feels soft, smooth and brighter. As if, I got some beauty treatment. The fine crystals in this mask as very fine like sand. So they do not damage the skin when we are massaging. Of course, you have to be gentle while massaging 🙂

Overall, I am very happy with the results. Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask provides extreme exfoliation, but gently. I was a little scared about the tingling but it slowly faded. My skin feels very smooth, soft, brighter and more radiant after I use this mask. I have been using it regularly once or twice a week and my skin texture has improved and have an even complexion. It also helped to fade away dark spots. But, I want to mention, when using such powerful masks like the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, it is important to give your skin some time to recover and always use a good sunscreen.

Thus this triple action mask is a must in your skincare routine. The physical texture acts as the physical exfoliant, while the AHAs’ do the chemical exfoliation when left on the skin for some time. I love the results after using this mask. I regret not buying it earlier. However, we should always listen to our skin. Working according to the needs of the skin will always keep it at it’s best. 🙂 Have you tried this mask? What are your thoughts? 🙂

Until next time stay bright and beautiful my friend!
