Daily Advanced Face Care Routine I, Gel Facial Cleanser Wash, Face Scrub, Facial Moisturizer Lotion, Natural and Organic Men's Skin Care Gift Set, Scented

I was extremely upset when Dermalogica stopped selling the mens branded stuff I used. The main product was the daily defense moisturizer. I tried everything from Jack Black, to Lab Series, and then Kiehls. I didnt like any of those. On a whim(and caught by a FB ad) I did some research on this brand. Seemed like it got pretty good reviews so what could hurt? Upon receiving the product, I really liked the packaging. I also felt that for the price I was used to paying, this was fair and in the same ballpark. Also, none of my product was spoiled or in bad shape. I never used to clean my face at night, only in the morning during the shower. This product helped me start a new routine at night. The gel facial cleanser smells good(all the products smell good to me actually) and I can feel it gets rid of whatever gunk was on my face before it. Never really thought about what I left on my face at night, but now I dont have to worry about it. Since Im not used to washing my face at night, Im not really sure how long Im supposed to leave the cleanser on my face. When I wash my face in the shower, I usually put the cleanser on and then do my hair or wash the rest of my body, then I wash it all off at one time. I think Ive been trying to wait a minute or so before washing this gel off, at least I can feel a difference after its washed. One thing to note, when Im washing my face, I can feel how smooth it is from the moisturizer I use in the morning(more on that below). After the cleansing, I actually use their night cream(not included in this package). As with most items when it comes to personal care, a little goes a long way. I probably use a drop of everything the size of two peas. My face is still a little damp(I just blot off the previously washed face water) when I apply this and it spreads nicely and evenly. I got the unscented version but it still has the faintest amount of smell. Not that its bad, just that my nose notices everything. This product, unlike the face moisturizer lotion(mentioned below) is exactly like it states, a cream. However, it goes on quick and doesnt leave any greasiness on my face or hands. Nothing to wipe off. Only thing I will note is that since using this product, I have had consistent, almost nightmarish dreams every night. Maybe Im susceptible to chemicals on my face or something, but these are really crazy and vivid. Now, dont get me wrong, I actually really like them and need to start writing them down. I am kind of twisted in the mind though... Back to the product. I use the face scrub only twice a week as its pretty strong as an exfoliater. I use some of my dermalogica the rest of the days. The face scrub has a nice minty smell to it but does have those microbeads. This is why it exfoliates so well. The actual sauce(Im using that word) the microbeads are in feels more like an astringent than the gel facial cleanser I use at night. Anyway, my face feels super clean after this one as it should. Lastly we have the face moisturizer. This was actually the product I was shopping for in the first place but got sucked into the whole package(not mad at that). It is definitely the most liquid like of all the products I had tried as a moisturizer. Unfortunately, it does not have any SPF in it, which is what I liked most about the daily defense, but alas, I must move on. As with all the Brickell products, you should shake everything before you use it. This is the only one that I have an issue with, every, time. Make sure you have the spout near your hand after you shook it because if you dont, it shoots across the sink. Maybe shaking this one pressurizes it but it literally shoots out. Also it shoots out way more than you want to use, so I end up sucking it back into the container. Long story short, this moisturizer goes on smooth and disappears quickly. Theres nothing left on my fingers or hands to wipe off, no greasiness at all. My face never gets dry and I havent broken out from it. Only thing I notice is that my forehead maybe gets a little shiney more often, but then again we have had some heatwaves here lately so it could be that. All in all, I will continue to use these products and stay with this brand. Hopefully they continue everything and I can keep on with my regimen.

While the price may seem shocking, Brickell claims that these products can last about a month to a month and a half. Which is pretty cheap on a day to day rate! I decided to switch over to Brickell after I had a quarter-life crisis about my hair and skin and wanted to pursue an ongoing youthful look. The face wash leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean without making it feel oily or heavy. It lathers up well although I must say that it takes a bit longer than expected to wash off. But a few extra seconds won't do any damage. My only complaint is that when it arrived, the seal wasn't on too well. But considering everything came wrapped in a box, I'm not concerned. I've used the scrub once and I think it helped. I have a considerable amount of blackheads on my nose that are annoying to look at and tempting to squeeze. Once I used this scrub, I noticed a cleaner nose and my skin did not feel irritated at all. Rather, it felt minty and refreshed. I do recommend using the recommended amount. It may not feel like enough to cover the face but trust me, it does. 3 Finally, the moisturizer. Although Brickell recommends using a dime sized amount; I think less can be used. But this lotion left my face feeling oily at first but then left my skin feeling nice and smooth. I definitely would like to purchase more of Brickell's products in the future. I'm glad that they use natural and organic products to bring quality care to my body!

My wife always used lotions and such on her face. I had oily skin and pretty much ignored this. After Mother nature (and a divorce!) caught up with me, I started paying attention to my face. There are three parts to the kit. The first part is the face wash. I have used other face washes, including plain soap but they leave my face feeling too dried out. Brickell's facewash cleans well without drying out your face. I use it twice a day. I love this facewash! The second part of the kit is the face scrub. I use it once a week although twice is recommended. Its meant to remove dead skin. I think its just OK but its probably more because my face does not need it. I prefer the charcoal facemask twice a week for my oily skin. But not reviewing that here. The third part of the skin is the Essential Face Moisturizer. Has a fresh, light smell. A little dab takes care of your face, and it is pretty amazing. Also, does not feel oily afterwards. And did I mention that this stuff is made for men's skin and not women's skin? I used it every day and night...until I switched to another one of their products for nighttime. Highly recommended! Their products are a bit pricey, but not if you compare to the stuff our women buy! Our faces are one of the first things that show our age...why shouldn't we want to slow that down a bit? Totally worth it!

I love that this routine is simple. The facial cleanser is refreshing and doesn't dry out my skin. A little bit of the moisturizer goes a long way, but is light and doesn't feel like my face is caked with product. But my favorite of the three products is the scrub. I use this every other day before shaving. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and fresh with a really nice mint scent. I have been using this routine for about three weeks, morning and night, and I am happy with the results. I have had fewer breakouts overall. My only concern is that I would like to see fewer blackheads, so I may try another Brickell product to address that issue. But I am very happy overall.

I started with the sample kit and if you are interested in their products I highly suggest you order one to try. Once I tried their products I found them extremely high quality and worth the cost. The face wash leaves me with a refreshing clean feeling. I use it morning and night and I have thought about using it midday too since it is so refreshing. The moisturizer is the best I have used. I have tried Loreal, Nivea, Dove and more this is clearly the best not greasy and seems to last all day. The facial scrub is just abrasive enough to not leave your face raw but you can feel the exfoliation. This routine is a great start, I also use their anti-aging cream, day and night serums as well. Can you find cheaper $$$ products, yes but this is one place I do believe you get what you pay for. If you want $5 face wash and/or moisturizer I wont blame you but it doesn't clean or work like Brickell.

Brickell has been great to have in my daily routine. I first started out with their free sample kit from their main site. From there, I was able to figure out where I wanted to start. If you haven't picked up the free sample kit, do it. You only have to pay for shipping-very worth it! I use the face wash daily once I wake up in the morning. It has a fresh, cooling smell that leaves my face feeling refreshed. Some time I will also do it in the evening as well, depends on if I work out or not during the day. Throughout the day I will apply the face moisturizer two to three times a day-it really depends on how dry my face will feel. A little bit goes a long way and having used the product for over a month I can see a feel a difference. The smell is very similar to the face cleaner. Then the face scrub I use once to twice a week. I typically time it for when I need to shave. I scrub it throughout my whole face and helps to have a nice smooth shave. The pumice in the scrub is the perfect amount for the exfoliation and renew the skin. Overall, this kit is a no brainer. I am looking forward to purchase other kits very soon!

I used Jack black for 2 years. I was looking for something inexpensive, so I was in the market for another mens facial care. Well long story short I'm going back to Jack black. My face was dry and I was getting dark spots under my eyes. I don’t know if it the product or my skin doesn’t agree with it. It could be the sudden product change. Idk.

I had to buy two of the face washes because I love using them so much that I was afraid I would run out. It's been over 2 months that I bought this package, and all 3 things STILL have product left. Granted, the face wash is the lowest, but I am surprised it lasted this long, seeing as I use it nearly 3 times a day. I used to NEVER use moisturizer and looking back, I don't know how I went that long without it. My skin used to be dry, would occasionally flake, and lacked any sort of health. Now, I cannot leave the house without having put this moisturizer on. It makes my face feel great and hydrated. The face wash has a great scent to it, suds up well, and with only a small amount, covers your entire face in enough soap that you feel it actually did something. I cannot stand products that make no suds or anything. The face scrub I tend to not use so much, but the times that I have, it feels good too. Do your face a favor, and get this. A healthy face radiates confidence and cleanliness.
