Patience is Required with Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser

So for me, Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser is like a no frills version of Kate Somerville Exfolikate and it does require patience because results aren’t terribly visible after a few uses.

Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser contains 5% glycolic acid and acts to deeply clean skin and reveal a smoother, softer complexion. It also contains moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and avocado oil!

Most would disagree but Exfolikate actually works a treat for me. I think it does a great job smoothing, softening, and leave my skin with a lovely glow. It contains some fairly harsh ingredients so, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone but I really like the results using it.

To me, Pixi’s Glow Mud Cleanser formula is like a lighter more gentle version of Kate’s formula. This a smooth, creamy cleanser that isn’t grainy so, it is more of a chemical exfoliating formula versus a physical one. It doesn’t lather nor does it foam up. I personally didn’t feel like it worked great at removing makeup but it is a product that works well as a follow up treatment cleanser of sorts. If you double cleanse, this might be a great secondary cleanser to use or one to use on an already clean face as I didn’t feel like it broke down makeup very well. It does smell a little like Kate’s formula (cinnamon-like) and even almost looks like it as it is a great, creamy paste-like texture.

I used an entire bottle and I never felt like it did a damn thing for me. But after I stopped using it that’s when I noticed how it was actually resurfacing my skin considerably. Funny, when you’re using a product and don’t notice a change but suddenly you go without using a week or even two weeks and you’re all of a sudden like, “Wait, what just happened?”

This was the case for me. I used it daily for nearly two months and never felt my skin looked visibly different. After finishing off the tube I went back to my normal cleansing routine. The thing I noticed most was the fact that my moisturizer absorbed so much more easily when using this and also how soft and smooth my makeup looked. So, rather than clinging to my face my foundation and blush looked so much smoother and softer. I did experience some tightness using this cleanser but moisturizer, as I said, absorbed easier and my skin was overall, much, much more softer when I used this daily versus the two weeks after I stopped.

So yeah, you need a bit of patience with this one and you might not see the effects visibly or even notice them but believe me it works a treat at smooth and softening skin!

I like!
