b.liv Got Oil Relief Toner Review

b.liv Got Oil Relief Toner Review
By Magali
The Got Oil Relied Controlling Toner (as the name suggests) is made especially for oily skin. A month ago I had the worst breakouts that I’ve ever had so it was the perfect time to really put this product to the test & see if it lives up to it’s claims. The bottle comes with a spray cap & a lid. 
The spray mechanism feels well made & sprays a fine mist. The bottle is quite travel friendly too.
This does a good job of removing excess oiliness & refreshed your skin too. 
A lot of oil control cleansers & toners leave my skin feeling parched but not his one. I also use it after cleansing, to remove the last traces of makeup.
Pros-
1. Travel Friendly
2. Removes excess oil without drying out the skin
Cons-
1. Contains Parabens

Bursting with natural fruity ingredients, this mask quickly penetrates your skin to nourishes it. Your lines will refine, your dryness will vanish, and the mirror will reveal a beaming face once again!


For all skin types, especially for dry, dehydrated skin (all ages).

Benefits:
• Long term deep moisturizing
• Retains & replenishes moisture
• Age prevention
• Anti-oxidant & anti-bacterial
• Lightening & whitening effect

MRP: 32$ for 7 pcs

Ingredients: Purified Water (Aqua), 1, 3 – Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Sodium PCA (Sodium 1-Pyrrolidonecarboxylate Solution), Propylene Glycol, Lemon (Citrus medica limonum) Fruit Extract, Sour Milk (Lactic Acid), Mandelic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan, Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) Flower Extract, Algae Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Sodium Hyaluronate, Co-enzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone), Hydrogenated Egg Yolk Phosphlipids, Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia) Fruit Extract, Alcohol Denat., Glycerin, Lecithin, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Fragrance, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, BHA (Salicylic Acid), Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Phenoxyethanol, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Sulisobenzone (Benzophenone-4).

How to use:

1. Use Leach Me 2 to 3 times weekly, after cleanser.
2. Remove protective sheet and place mask evenly on whole face for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Remove the mask and gently massage excess serum into the skin.
4. Gently pat dry.
5. Use the product immediately after opening.

It has separate sheets inside..

This is like a normal sheet mask..I have used Neutrogena Fine Fairness one before..and this looks similar. Since this is meant for hydrating and moisturising the skin..it does exactly that..at first skin feels soothed and gives a cooling effect..I generally keep the mask for 20-25 minutes..and blend in the excess serum later..coz it keeps deeply soaked in lots of essence..and nothing is to be used on the skin later..as it still gets absorbed into the skin..

Each mask is separately wrapped in plastic on the inside too..

Skin feels soft and smooth and completely hydrated..and the effect stays even the next day.

Pros:

1. Does what it claims..super hydrating.
2. Makes skin soft, smooth and supple.
3. This is like pampering your skin..and your skin would surely love it.
4. Skin feels brighter and the effect stays a day or two.
5. The Fruits Acid Complex and Acerola Fruit Extract are beneficial for the skin.

Cons:

1. Availability is an issue..only available online. You can buy it here
2. Expensive.
3. Has parabens.
4. Effect is short lived.

Overall I like such pampering sessions once a while..and on occasions..as the effect stays a say or two. If you have dry skin, you would love it all the more..recommend it for dry skin.

They have other masks too..for every skin type and problem..do check them out.

Value for money: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: I don’t really require Leach Me as I am not dry skinned..but yes the other masks..

Its a long sleek pump bottle…as described its a light brown gel like fluid..you need a pump for each use..feels cooling on the skin..and this did not leave the skin dry at all..in fact you can easily skip a moisturiser with this..since it is a moisturising cleanser..skin is soft, deep cleansed and plumped…it even removes most of the basic make up but not the waterproof one..without irritating eyes or any dryness.

Pros:

1. Totally does what it claims..cleansing plus moisture retaining.
2. Cleanses well..and removes the basic make up without any irritation or dryness.
3. Has Seaweed, Aloe Vera and Green Tea extracts.
4. One pump is enough for each use..so it would last about 30-35 days if used everyday.
5. Would suit all skin types.
6. Feels cooling on the skin..perfect for summers

Cons:

1. Has SLS and Parabens.
2. The pump bottle is not travel friendly and in fact it even fell and broke 🙁 Not sturdy enough too.

4. Expensive.

Overall its quiet a good cleanser..would suit all skin types..sensitive, oily,dry..its very gentle on the skin but cleanses skin well..yet remaining moisturising.

When I was asked to review B.Liv products..I was not sure..if they would suit me..coz they are meant more so for acne prone skin..though they have good hydrating products too..B.Liv is a part of Cellnique which is one of the best in skin care in the world.

Spots Got Shot is meant for acne and its scars..and it also secretes the excess sebum or oil in that area..and prevents recurrence.

Its a small tube..approx the size of a finger..and has a long cap..and a tiny nozzle opening.. its off white in color..no particular disturbing smell.

Pros:

1. It does work in lightening spots as claimed…but it takes time..a minimum of 10 days to see some result..do not expect overnight magic.
2. I get occasional 1-2 zits which leave scars behind..and this did work on them.
3. Since it gets absorbed fast and is to be only applied on affected areas..it can be used even in day time comfortably.
4. It does keep skin oil free for a few hours..but not longer.
5. Though it helps in clearing zits and the scars..it does not dry out the skin..like a few creams.

Cons:

1. Feels a little itchy for a few minutes as mentioned by them.
2. Lots of chemicals and parabens in ingredients.
3. Available only online. You can buy it here.
4. Expensive.

Overall I think its good for people getting occasional zits..but if anyone is suffering from acne..I would not recommend this..but some medicated lotion…does take time to clear spots though.
