Pixi Tonic has anyone been disappointed.

[Ladybirdbookworm]

I just started using pixi tonic about three weeks ago and added a day cream with spf.
I have stopped using my new moisturiser and returned to an aloe Vera water day cream because my eyes have been stinging and my make up just seems to slide off my face. Now I've got two sore pimples, one on my cheek and one above my lip. Anyone else disappointed with it .

I've been using it but was put off when I realised you needed to use an spf and I don't have one. I didn't have any problems though.

I found it does absolutely nothing for me at all. Didn't make my skin any worse, but equally didn't notice any positive difference either. I was very disappointed as so many people rave about it. I'm finishing off the bottle but won't be buying another!

I love it been using it for a year now after using my previous brand for more than a decade it gives me a real glow

Marilla what nip & fab pads do you use?

I hated it.

I kept seeing all these amazing reviews, how it was a cult product etc so gave in and bought it. I had pretty good skin at the time from using Nip Fab but swapped their toner and pads out for Pixi and it ruined my skin. I'd hoped it was just the adjustment so persevered for 4 weeks using it 2-4 times a week but it made my skin redder and I broke out in loads of little white spots. It's taken me months after stopping to get my face nearly back to normal.

Had the same problem with Kiehls Midnight Oil so perhaps I need to stop buying into all the hype - was an expensive few mistakes.

I'm back to the Nip Fab Glycolic range now wih happy skin.

I find clean & clear cleansing lotion (blue toner like stuff, costs about £2) to give the same sort of glow as Pixi. The salycilic acid content is just enough to keep skin turning over and tightens pore’s nicely. Might be worth a try.

Weird. I think PixI Glow was the start of my sensitive skin problems. It brought me out in little spots. Kiehls oil does the same so I’m taking a break from it.

It irritated my skin due to the fragrance. I like The Ordinary once a week 30% glycolic mask and 5% daily lactic acid better.

It does work for me with a very noticeable difference to my skin but everyone's skin is different.

It didn’t suit me either. I like REN clarimatte toner.

It doesn’t suit me, either. My skin prefers lactic acid as a chemical exfoliant. I use the 10% Ordinary version nightly.

Complete waste of my money, as was alpha gold. The only product I have found which does what it claims is Paula's choice skin perfecting BHA.

Did absolutely nothing for me. Complete waste of money.

Did nothing for me. Gave me spots initially then when my skin settled down I couldn't notice any difference.

I have some of the alpha liquid gold stuff to try but after the pick experience I'm scared haha

I hated it, absolutely rubbish on my skin. I poured it down the sink.

I changed from the Pixi tonic to The Ordinary gycolic Toner, which I like much better and so does my skin. Has more glycolic acid in too (7% vs 5%) so it can't be the acid that my skin didn't like. Cheaper too!

Love it, really helps my acne. Alpha gold did nothing, possibly made it worse.

Thank you everyone - I'm going to give it away ....also I think it smells like rotten eggs ..not that I've ever encountered a rotten egg but you know what I mean

I use it every couple days, I think its too harsh and won't be buying it again. I also didn't like their rose oil or glow mud face wash, or glow face wipes. Don't know why I keep trying their products!

I prefer the Superdrug version and it's far cheaper.

I found it very harsh on my skin and it caused a bit of an eczema breakout......
