The Pixi Glow Tonic Glycolic Boost Brightening Infusion Sheet Masks are exactly what you'd expect and maybe a little more; unlike the original Pixi Glow Tonic, they promise instant results in the form of both hydration and a brighter complexion from the first application. Rather surprisingly, the Pixi Glow Tonic Sheet Masks contain exactly the same concentration of Glycolic Acid (5%) as the original skin tonic: alongside Ginseng to brighten the skin, and witch hazel which is a natural astringent and can be beneficial to blemish prone complexions.
Much like any sheet mask, it is suggested that you apply the Pixi Glow Tonic Glycolic Boost Brightening Infusion Sheet Mask before moisturiser and of course on freshly cleansed skin. I would like to go a step further and suggest that you adhere to a solo Glow Tonic product practise - meaning if you use the sheet mask, skip the liquid, toner version later that night. As with all Glycolic Acid/AHA products, please ensure you adequately protect your skin from sunlight in the form of SPF protection and avoiding direct sunlight for a few days.
Like most beauty aficionados, I have dabbled with many a sheet mask in my time but having an oddly shaped face (read:moon), means that I do struggle to find one that fits properly, let alone delivers any real skin care benefit. As for the Pixi Glow Tonic Glycolic Boost Brightening Infusion Sheet Mask's they are constructed from microfibre, and as such they naturally adhere to the skin a little better than some other textures I have tested over the years. As an added bonus the physical shape does seem to be a little more generous too - again great if you have a rounder face. In general, I do tend to recommend that you apply sheet masks (of any nature), when you know you will be stationary; gravity does tend to work against such design, however I do think the Pixi format has a better grip and as such, less likely to end up on the floor should you wear it on-the-go.
As for the end results? The Pixi Glow Tonic Glycolic Boost Brightening Infusion Sheet Mask's certainly do deliver, in my opinion the biggest take-away's are the quick and effective dose of non-greasy and fairly long lasting moisture, and of course the glow factor. If ever you have had a great facial and walked away with a complexion that simply radiates good health, this is the next best thing. Oddly I do find the "glow" to be more prevalent in the mask form, opposed to the original tonic version - perhaps it is because you leave the mask on the skin longer and thus the product has longer to work? Whatever it may be, I am sold.
