Clean & Clear Lemon
🍋 Collection🍋
Hello everyone! Here is the latest and greatest of my Voxboxes from Influenster: the Clean & Clear Zesty Lemon collection, sent to me complementary to test out, review and share with you guys!
In this box I received:
The Lemon Zesty Scrub
The Lemon Juice Toner and
The Lemon Cleansing Wipes

Lemon Zesty Scrub
This oil-free Lemon Zesty Scrub promises to gently buff, brighten and smooth away roughness with naturally derived scrubbies in a gel suspension.
This Lemony exfoliating gel is kind of nice. It's a light coloured gel with little tiny scrubbie bits in it. I am very pleased that these scrubbies, apparently, are not made of plastic; making this scrub is environment friendly. (No plastic micro-beads here!)
With a bit of water added, this gel foams up into a nice, creamy lather that smooths easily over skin. The scrubbies are not too rough, and I actually think they do help to make my skin feel a little softer or smoother after use. The lemony scent is quite nice, too.
The one downside to this scrub, for me, is that it dries my face out quite a bit. So while it is nice enough, I don't know if I'd buy it because of that. I do think it would possibly be good though for anyone with combination or oily skin though, as it may help to mattify your complexion.

Lemon Juice Toner
This oil-free toner contains vitamin c from naturally-derived lemon extract to gently remove impurities and tone the skin. It is also supposed to help prevent over-drying of the skin after washing.
First, before I get into my review, I figure I should tell you that I have dry skin. Therefore, my review and opinions of this product maybe totally different from that of a person with another skin type.
This toner has a nice, light and natural lemon scent to it, that dissipates away once it dries. It is very easy to use: simply moisten a cotton ball and apply over your face. It absorbs quite quickly and does not leave a yicky residue on your face.
Unfortunately, that is about all the positives notes that I can make about this toner. After several uses, I realized that this toner doesn't make my skin less dry. Rather, it makes my dry skin even dryer and it leaves my face feeling tight and uncomfortable. I also found that this toner made my face sting a bit in some spots when applying it, which just won't do at all!
So, while I really would have like for this toner to work out well for me, I am afraid that just is not well suited for dry skin. I would not buy this toner in future.

Lemon Cleansing Wipes
They are formulated with vitamin C and lemon extract to clear your face of dirt and makeup, leaving you with a brightened and clean complexion. They are also oil-free, and claim no washing/rinsing needed after use. Just grab, wipe and go!
So first, I would like to point out that you get a good amount of wipes in a pack: 25 to be exact, which is a good amount for a package of facial wipes. They are indeed lemony fresh with a light lemon scent to them, but nothing fake or bothersome. Further, the wipes aren't rough feeling, but they also aren't really soft either. I would put them at just right amount of "in between" the two, so that dirty, grime and makeup can be wiped away, effectively.
These lemon Clean and Clear wipes do a good job of removing facial makeup like concealer and blush. It only takes a swipe to move these types of makeup. However, I do find that these wipes could do a better job of removing mascara. They remove some of the washable mascara that I wear, but not all of it. I would have to scrub my eyes more than I would like to in order to remove all of my mascara with these wipes.
The last thing I should just mention is that I do find that these wipes do leave a residue on your face after use. It's not really bad, but they leave you with this sort of gormy feeling on your after using them and, personally, I do need to rinse my face after use.
Overall, I think these wipes are pretty decent. They smell quite nice and they would be good to keep in your car for when you need to remove your makeup on-the-go. However, I wouldn't buy these wipes for use as my only form of makeup remover. I definitely need a remover to take my mascara of easily, since I wear mascara everday. These wipes just don't quite meet that mark.
So that's it everyone! I hope these reviews help you to decide if these Lemon products are right for you and whether to buy them or not. Happy shopping 💜
