Clean Start Kit Review
This review is wayyyyyyy overdue as i bought it ages ago but i do remember the results i got when using this.
I'd heard a lot about the clean start kit & thought i'd get one myself.
I'm not going to get into detail with the packaging & stuff because i have a feeling this post is going to be looonnnggg & also its the results we're all interested in right? (:
Here is a quick overview of it for those who want to know:
10/10 for packaging. Has a mini pamphlet inside about the products and their company.

wash off 50ml
This is the foam face wash. This is for daily use in the morning and night.
Claims: "..clears away dead skin cells & extra oils to clean deep & banish breakouts from your face, back...or wherever."
Results: it's not as foamy as i thought it would be but i'm not fussed about the consistency of the product. I just look out for the results.
After washing i felt fresh & clean, however, this wash isn't for me as it dried out my skin a bit and it didn't really do anything for my skin. This was a little disappointing as when i was looking at reviews most people loved it. I guess it just didn't work for me.

all over clear 50ml
This is the toner. To be used after cleansing in the morning.
Claims: "...controls shine and keep breakouts away. Invigorating extracts will never leave skin dry or tight. Instantly cools. Instantly refreshers."
Results: i LOVE this toner! this does exactly what it claims. It was cool, refreshing, controlled the shine in my T-Zone & prevented most breakouts.

ready, set, scrub! 15ml
This is the scrub which can also be used as a masque. To be used in the morning 3-5 times a week.
Excuse my photo as it's almost finished :P
Claims: "...it's a breakout-fighting, pore-refining duo that delivers smoother, clearer and fresher skin. ...pull excess oil from skin, deep-cleaning pores and helping to control shine..scrubs away clogged dead skin cells"
Results: This definitely made up for the cleanser & as you can see it's almost gone. I used it 3-5 times a week and the results were really good. My pores were reduced and i wasn't as oily. It did make my skin smoother but only temporarily.

bedtime for breakouts 15ml
This is a night treatment. To use daily and before going to bed after cleansing.
Claims: "...delivers a potent blend of botanicals to whip out future breakouts lurking below the surface"
Results: This didn't really work for me either. When i saw an upcoming spot after cleansing at night i would put this on before bed like so but i would still wake up with the spot bigger. It didn't do anything for me or it just made my spots bigger. It did occasionally bring down a few pimples from time to time but it wasn't the best.

welcome matte spf15 15ml
This is the moisturizer. To be used after toner in the morning.
Claims: "moisturizer with oil controllers to minimize shine...without drying skin with this...lightweight lotion that won't clog pores."
Results: This is also a good product & you see from the picture that i've used quite a lot. It wasn't that great but it was still good. It only controlled my shine to an extent & because my skin was really oily back then i don't think it could have handled it. Regarding my pores, it wasn't too bad; It didn't make me breakout.

Overall:
Pros - None of the products contain no artificial fragrance or colour. They were never tested on animals. They concentrate on acne for teenagers. Packaging is very neat, tidy & instructions are simple, clear & straightforward.
Cons - Not all products worked for me (tho i think is solely based on my skin type and me personally. Different products work for different people)

That's my review done! This kit is the travel sized set which is why they are small. Unfortunately, you can't buy the full sized ones in a set, you have to buy them individually which are expensive. This set cost me around £17.
I would recommend this product as it has worked for most people.
I would also recommend buying this small sized kit before buying the full sized ones in case none or only a few products work for you.
Before buying i would recommend reading this first.
If you are sure you want to get this, here is where i got it. The price has gone up & they repackaged the toner.
If you need help or have any questions feel free to message me. I will try my best to answer them (:
