Bonus: My personal review
I had the opportunity to test PYOR products and here is my sincere opinion about them. Having sensitive, dry, and very reactive skin, I am always afraid of testing new products fearing having a bad allergic reaction or that they will damage my skin. PYOR claims to provide a skincare formula for different skin types so for this review I got out of my comfort zone and tried the “bye-bye shine” whipped clay mask and their moisturizer.
What can I say except WOW!
When I first tried their moisturizer, my skin reacted so well! No redness, no allergic reaction, the texture was not too thick and my skin felt smooth and moisturized.
I really was in choc and I am being 100% honest. It’s been almost 3 months since I use their moisturizer daily and I just finished it. I have to say that the texture of my skin has improved, it feels bouncy and healthy, I have fewer imperfections and I am glowing !!
About their clay mask, I used it once a week for almost 3 months and it worked very well. Having skin that shines easily throughout the day, I found this product helpful to regulate my production of sebum. My skin reacted well to this product. After each application, my skin felt a bit dry (that is normal) but super clean. I just had to apply their moisturizer right after each mask and voila, my skin felt amazing!
Do I recommend PYOR?
Yes! I definitely recommend their products. Big thumbs up for their moisturizer that I 100% recommend for people having the same skin issues that I have.
