Rodial Glamtox Peel!

Rodial is such a Luxury Beauty / Skincare Brand, Their packaging is flashy and eye catching, their array of products promise to do amazing things for your skin, without the need for surgery.

I was recently sent the Glamtox Peel, which is a is a clay face/neck mask that promises to reverse the signs of ageing in just ten minutes.

It contains revolutionary ingredients such as Laracare, which firms, lifts and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Fruit Acids to help refine the complexion, even skintone and soften fine lines, this clay mask will illuminate and brighten, even after the first use.

My thoughts : This is a thick luxurious cream that smells really pleasant. You apply it to clean dry skin and leave it on for ten minutes. This mask is a thick consistency and it thickens up even more when applied to the face as it sets. After about five minutes it starts to tighten as it dries, but not uncomfortably.

You don't need much of this to cover your face. Just a thin layer does it, go easy with it and take time to spread it on. After ten minutes I began to rub it off with my fingers and it just peeled away, like dead skin would. I then rinsed my face with lukewarm water and was instantly wowed at how smooth my skin felt. It honestly looked different, like it was brand new. It was bright, uplifted and it felt SO plump and smooth. It's not often I use something that I notice such results on, but this is fabulous.

 

I know at £70 it's very pricey, but it is only recommended to be used once a week (Like a weekly face lift!) and you really don't need much to cover your face. It's a delight to use, and such a special luxury item for special occasions. I know that my mum is going to love this, so guess what she'll be unwrapping on Christmas day! *Shh!* I'll be honest, I also have a little list of goodies I would love to try from the site, Including the Glamtox Balm, Moisturiser and the Snake Serum!

This is available online from here.

» Rodial Glamtox Night.

This new night cream from Rodial was released recently and I was fortunate enough to have the chance to try it out. It's called 'Glamtox Night' and is a serum that you apply nightly before bed.

This is what Rodial Say ;

The Glamtox Night is a revolutionary night treatment that quickly fades hyperpigmenation, reduces pore size and plumps the skin while you sleep. The ground breaking formulation gives skin a radiant and youthful glow.

 Improvement in overall sun damage and pigmentation
Improvement in crows feet wrinkles and fine lines
Resulting in a clearer complexion and brighter skin tone

They call this an 'Overnight Facelift'! Sounds impressive, huh? .. It contains a gentle Retinol that will resurface the skin and thicken and plump the skin whilst reducing pore size. The skin will gain an energized and radiant glow come morning. glamtox night also works to strip away hyperpigmentation creating a light and bright skin tone.

When I read all of this I was excited, so excited I shared it with my boyfriend who just pulled a face. These are impressive claims though, and I couldn't wait to get using this!

It comes packaged in a lovely silver box, and inside there is the jar (as above) which is also silver and very glam looking. I spent ages trying to get a picture of it, without you seeing me with my camera in the mirrored jar! .. 

Anyway, back on topic,  the jar is really glam looking and it has a pump inside the lid that you press down to dispense the product.. I didn't realise this at first and just whipped the whole lid part off and smeared it all over my fingers. I don't recommend that anyone do this, you don't need much of this to covers your face and neck, and I ended up wasting some. Luckily I figured out the pump thing the next evening.

So anyway, the cream itself is a light serum, pale yellow in colour and slightly floral scented. It soaks into the skin nicely and as I said, you don't need much product to cover your face and neck.

Did I see results? .. Yes and no.. When I wear this to bed I definitely wake up with lovely glowing skin, which feels and looks plump and refreshed. I can't comment on the hyper pigmentation part as I don't really have any. But the main thing I was hoping for was an improvement in my pore size, and I think I have seen a small improvement .. But it is only small, and I have also recently started using a clarisonic when I started using this, so maybe they are working well together to battle this!

All is all this serum is an absolute luxury to use and it really does leave my skin feeling so smooth and lovely, but I'm not sure it lived up to my expectations from what it promises. It does leave my complexion looking bright and healthy but I'm not sure I would pay the £88 price tag just for that.. Not when other, cheaper products can do the job.

You can buy this and other Rodial Products from their website here.
