Sampar Clear Solution Mask Reviews

Sampar Clear Solution Mask

Sampar is a Parisian skin care brand dedicated to the city dwellers looking for modern alternative skin care treatments.

Sampar Clear Solution Mask soaks up impurities and clarifies the skin without drying it out. An exquisite blend of kaolin, geranium and sweet almond oil, this purifying mask tightens pores. Soothing limewater and sweet almond oils ensure that the skin remains soft and supple while impurities are gently absorbed by Kaolin, a white clay that simultaneously cleanses and calms pores. The presence of the Urban Active Complex revitalizes the skin and removes the pollutants and toxins that can accumulate. 


Reviews: This is my first time trying out Sampar product. After first time using Sampar Clear Solution Mask, I can see that my skin slightly brighter. My skin feels clean and refresh. What I like the most is that my skin is smoother and softer. My T-Zone not that oily or shiny anymore; or I can say sebum under control. After this mask, I continue with my toner, serum and moisturizer.

This Clear Solution Mask maybe a little bit drying for my skin type so I can only use this Clear Solution Mask once a week or every fortnightly. It helps to clear away my skin impurities, dead skin cell and prevent breakouts.


Tips: Sampar Clear Solution Mask also can help to reduce pimples. What you need to do is that, dab a bit of Clear Solution Mask on the pimples before you go to bed and leave it overnight.

Directions:
Apply a thin layer of Clear Solution Mask on cleansed skin, avoiding eye area. Leave for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water. 


Key Ingredients:
Kaolin absorbs impurities within the skin and tightens pores, leaving the skin matte.

Zinc stabilizes sebum, repairs and soothes inflammation.

Essential oil of geranium works synergistically with the Urban Advance Complex to optimally purify the skin and eliminate toxins with absolute precision.

Urban Advance Complex, a powerful alliance of 3 active ingredients (shea butter serum, mint endorphin and probiotic sugar), acts as an anti-oxidant shield, neutralizing any cutaneous imbalances linked to pollution, strengthens the skin's natural defenses and shocks the skin back to life on a cellular level.
