Yes, I will go and read old threads, but I'm also lazy, so wanted to make my own.
What are the highlights from the PSF skincare line?
That will be all for now, folks! |

Hi Nemi, highlights from PSF will really depend upon your skin type.
For me, I have combo/oil skin - not overly sensitive and prone to clogged pores. My faves will be very different from someone who has more sensitive and dry skin. Meanwhile, below are the products in my permanent routine.
1. Papaya enzyme cleanser. Love it, lasts a long time and well packaged pump dispenser.
2. 5% BHA solution for internal exfoliation and surface
3. Micro-crystal resurfacing cream. I switch between PSF and EpidermxII for physical exfoliation a couple times a week.
4. Pumpkin enzyme peel - absolutely my favorite pumpkin based mask. Others are too strong, some are too week, PSF is just right
5. Acne mud mask - fantastic overall mud mask or overnight spot treatment for oily skin. I started making my own DIY version a little over one year ago. PSF's mud mask is definitely nicer than mine... |

Thanks a lot! I have dry-ish/dehydrated skin, I get the odd cystic pimple on my chin, and I of course want to prevent (further) damage to my skin, although it's in good condition now. |

So far, my favorite PSF products are R&R Toner and acne mud masque. |

Absolute must haves for me are both the Pumpkin Enzyme Maska and Ance Mud mask.
Fave cleanser is Gentle Cleansing Castille and Fave toner is R&R. |

I'm particularly interested in the castille cleanser, R&R tonic, and either the c-serum or the Berry Beneficial?
Can the Acne Mud be used on the occasional, but stubborn pimple on the jawline? Or does it kill skin totally? |

That's exactly what I use it for and it works wonders. I don't use it as an all over face mask, just on a breakout. Overnight seems to work best for me.
I really like the castille cleanser and r&r toner. I don't have particularly oily skin, (just the occasional hormonal breakout), and that cleanser/toner combo works for me. |

Is the Castille cleanser drying? I would really like to use a foaming cleanser, although my skin is dry-ish...
I'm really tempted to place an order, but have given myself a no-shop month, because otherwise, I might end up never using up the products which I already own. The thrill of new stuff...
Ah, well. |

I don't find the cleansing castille drying, for my skin anyway. |

My holy grails are the Berry Beneficial Antioxidant Serum and the Phyto Lift Cranberry Eye Gel. The BB is my daily dose of antioxidants and the PL visibly opens my eyes. I never get dry during the whole day and it´s a gel!
I once used too little sunscreen on the side of my neck so it got red and burnt. I was so unhappy and applied BB. I saw and felt an instant relief and the redness disappeard at once. Since then I´m addicted and will never stop using it. |

Hi Nemi, I tried a sample of PSF Castille Cleanser. It's supposed to be very gentle but it made my skin feel sensitive and a little painful to the touch. Surprising, since I have pretty resistant, oily skin. The Castille just isn't suitable for me, but I've heard it works well for others.
If you've never used PSF, go to their website and purchase samples before you commit. |

I tried, but they wanted to charge me 21 or 22 USD in postage fees, and since that's a bit steep (to put it mildly! ), I cancelled the order.
Guess it's a hit and miss, but at least, the products aren't terribly expensive. Maybe it's best to add one product at a time. |
