Pangea Organics Skincare Discovery Kit Review

Pangea Organics Skin Care Kit box
Local luxury skin care distributor The SOUQ Organics has recently sent me a Pangea Organics Skincare Discovery Kit as a gift. Just came home from Cambodia (will post a few articles about the trip in a few) and was happy to see a special package arrived for me in a nice reusable bag. I particularly love the fact that the Discovery Kit is formulated with hydrating and nourishing ingredients. The anti-aging and antioxidant formula promises to restore sun-damaged skin, and the vain, little lady in me is all for nutrients that can make me look as young as possible (No, the fact that people in Cambodia mistook me as a little 16-year-old doesn’t cut it.)

I’m a 26-year-old, and I don’t want to look a day over 30 when I reach the ripe old age of 45. So the earlier I start caring for my skin, the better.

The wonderful treat inside

The Pangea Organics Skin Care Discovery Kit includes:

1 tube FACIAL CLEANSER 1 fl oz
Egyptian Calendula & Blood Orange

1 bottle FACIAL TONER 1.8 fl oz
French Rosemary with Sweet Orange

1 tube FACIAL CREAM 1 fl oz
Italian Red Mandarin with Rose

1 tube FACIAL SCRUB 1 fl oz
Egyptian Geranium with Adzuki Bean & Cranberry

1 tube FACIAL MASK 1 fl oz
Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry

1 EYE CREAM sample
Turkish Rose & White Tea

Let’s start the quick review:

First of all, I love the packaging. It’s simple, elegant, sturdy and pleasing to the eyes. I can recycle the box and turn it into something else. Each well-decorated tube is sealed to ensure freshness of the organic products. Once you open it, though, the label on the back of the box clearly states you can only use the product for up to 12 months.

1. EGYPTIAN CALENDULA & BLOOD ORANGE FACIAL CLEANSER – to be used once in the morning and once at night
The facial cleanser has a very strong, oily scent. The product claims to nurture the skin with plant-derived nutrients from organic essential oils and herbal extracts. For me, it is an effective product to remove excess oil and other impurities from the skin.

2. FRENCH ROSEMARY & SWEET ORANGE FACIAL TONER - to be used once in the morning and once at night
It’s cool that this product comes in a sealed bottle and you get to put the pump yourself. This is my favorite product of the bunch as it smells very good and citrusy. A light mist can even do wonders to touch-ups.

3. ITALIAN RED MANDARIN WITH ROSE FACIAL CREAM - to be used once in the morning and once at night
The thick facial cream promises superior hydration with its highest quality organic nutrients. The smell is pretty distracting, but I’d love to use it for a few weeks more if it indeed has anti-aging properties.

4. EGYPTIAN GERANIUM WITH ADZUKI BEAN & CRANBERRY FACIAL SCRUB – to be used once daily
I prefer using this at night just to be on the safe side. It is said that the skin attempts to regenerate at night while we are asleep, so I’d rather take advantage of the scrub’s exfoliating properties at night. I expect a fresh face in the morning after a week.

5. JAPANESE MATCHA TEA WITH ACAI & GOJI BERRY FACIAL MASK – 1-2 times a week
I haven’t tried this facial mask, but I sure am eager to apply the mask within the week. I’ll have to treat myself to one invigorating, detoxifying and rejuvenating facial mask once I have the free time to do so.

UPDATE: Finally got the time to try this! Used it right after the cleanser. I massaged a bit of the product and allowed it to set on my face for a few minutes. The mask smells a lot like tea leaves.

6. TURKISH ROSE & WHITE TEA EYE CREAM
The beautiful combination of Turkish Rose and White Tea promises anti-aging and antioxidant properties that will turn the skin around your eyes more youthful looking. As a lady with small wrinkles around my eyes (I smile a lot) I’d love to see if any improvement happens in a week or so. It smells a bit strong, too, but it’s tolerable.

Results to follow. For now, I’m giddy with excitement and curious if I shall indeed discover youthful radiance in this handy gluten-free kit. Currently, the kit is on sale at Php 850 at The SOUQ.

Thank you, The SOUQ Organics, for your wonderful gift!
