Fresh Umbrian Clay Skincare Set

What it is:A skincare set that includes everything you need to cleanse, treat, and moisturize normal to oily skin. What it is formulated to do:This skincare set includes all the essentials needed to cleanse, treat, and moisturize normal to oily skin. It calls upon the detoxifying benefits of Umbrian Clay, Fresh’s proprietary ingredient whose uniquely high-mineral content works to neutralize acidity on the skin, purifying and clarifying the complexion. The gentle daily cleanser removes impurities and makeup while toning and hydrating the complexion. The multifunctional treatment can be used as an instant detoxifying mask, and the oil-free lotion is a non-comedogenic formula that purifies and balances the skin. This set contains: - 1.7 oz Soy Face Cleanser - 1 oz Umbrian Clay Face Treatment - 0.5 oz Umbrian Clay Oil-Free Lotion What else you need to know:The story of umbrian clay: “A close friend of ours used to suffer from severe cystic acne until she came upon an ultra-fine clay in an herbal store in Italy. We traced its origins to the small Italian town of Nocera Umbra, the sole source of this naturally-occurring clay, and learned that it has been the basis of therapeutic treatments for centuries.” Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, Fresh Founders

Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
I wavered a while before purchasing this set since I saw some negative reviews for the Umbrian Clay Lotion.
But it turns out to be one of my wisest purchase. My face feels refreshed and purified! And the bag is so adorable!

Very effective in fighting acne! I've only used it for one week and my acnes are almost gone! Use the mask every night on affected area for optimal result. The lotion may not be moisturizing enough for very dry weather so be sure to complement it with a better moisturizer.

Eh...
-10.10.12
Quick Take: not worth it
I love Fresh, but I actually didn't care fore this kit at all. I love the soy face cleanser, so I decided to purchase this kit to see if it would control my oily skin. The face mask was okay, but I definitely wouldn't trade my proactiv face mask for it. I didn't like the face lotion at all, it left me feeling greasy and didn't control my oil at all. The lotion and face mask are just sitting in my closet and I never use them. I actually wish I would have just returned this and got the full size soy face cleanser instead.

Perfection!
-09.09.12
This set is just right for my super oily, yet super sensitive skin. It cleans without stripping, treats without burning and moisturizes without leaving a shine. How can you beat that??

Pleasantly Surprised by Clay
-08.25.12
Quick Take: natural, clearing, good for acne, trial sized, travel kit
I've used "mud" and clay masks before. I've never tried any of the Fresh line, but was traveling and liked the travel sizes of everything I wanted to sample were in one kit. I'm over buying full sized products only to find out I didn't like them after just a couple uses.
I've tried all the pieces of this kit for my acneic, aging, hormonal early 40's skin issues. This line is natural, free of weird chemicals that make things worse, and best of all, helped my skin to clear up some and look more radiant! Winning all around. I've already purchased a full size oil free moisture, and will probably use the mud cleanser regularly too. It's good stuff!
The only downside is, that being full of the benefits of Umbrian clay doesn't leave roommate for lots of good scent. It's kind of bland in that area, but the benefits are outweighing the cosmetic on this stuff.

Great for the summer
-07.25.12
Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly, mattifying, fresh, great for acne-prone skin
I got this set mainly because I was looking for a simple moisturizer, lightweight moisturizer with mattifying properties. I was about to get the Umbrian Clay moisturizer by itself when I saw this set. I already use the Soy Face Cleanser, which I love and since it came with a clay mask, which I really enjoy I said why not? It's a great value.
This set is perfect for sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts, especially in the summer. The lotion is great at keeping shine at bay, but it's probably too lightweight for the winter.
I'm really enjoying the clay mask. It dries and rinses very quickly and leaves the skin feeling fresh. There's nothing more annoying than a sticky mask that takes forever to dry and remove.
The cleanser is great. It leaves my skin literally squeaky clean! It doesn't completely remove my eye makeup, but that's OK. I wipe most of it off before I wash my face anyway.
I am combining the products on this set with Murad's Clarifying Toner (it feels amazingly fresh, it doesn't contain alcohol, and it has natural mattifying ingredients). I'm also using DDF's Glycolic 10% Exfoliating Oil Control Gel, which I really like. It doesn't dry out my skin, like most acne treatments and it feels nice. I don't see it listed on the Sephora website anymore, but it is on the DDF website.
I recommend both of these products in conjunction with the Fresh Umbrian Clay set if you have acne-prone skin and your t-zone gets extra oily in the summer.
