Mary Kay Botanical Effects Formula 2

I've been looking into this skincare line for year, so a couple months ago I decided to order it. I especially purchased it because my clean and clear continuous control cleanser with 10% benzoyl peroxide is extremely harsh on the skin. So I needed something to get rid of the redness and irritation while providing moisture to my skin. Thus, I purchased formula 2 of the botanical effects line instead of formula 3 for oily skin which is actually by skin type.
First Impressions:

• Cleanser: The cleanser is a milk cleanser which surprised me because I'm used to the clear cleansers for oily skin. This one is more of a white liquid almost like a moisturizer, and when I first tried it I hated it because I felt like it wasn't cleaning my skin.
• Freshener:The freshener is a toner but perfectly clear just similar to water, extremely gentle, and easiest to use by just spraying on the face then going over with a cotton ball.
• Mask: A clay mask with exfoliating beads that dries completely in ten minutes. It can be used as a mask or a scrub, and leaves the face feeling moisturized in certain areas after.
• Moisturizer: Extremely similar to the cleanser, but provides the skin with supreme moisture. Although personally I didn't find that it absorbed that well into the skin because I still felt in on my face after rubbing it in. Also, a small amount goes a long way, you only need about three pea sizes.
• Overall: I felt like the set was really moisturizing but that it didn't provide a deep clean.

After a little over a month:

• Cleanser: When spreading the cleanser on my hands then applying it to my face, I realized one day that my palms were really soft after which was a major plus that was hard to tell after just putting moisturizer on my face.
• Freshener: Overtime I got over the fact that it felt like spraying water on my face, and together with the cleanser it did a good job of cleaning my skin.
• Moisturizer: Now when I use it I use a very small amount so I don't have too much excess on my face.
• Mask: My favorite part of the regime, because now I can actually see it lifting away impurities to make my skin clearer. For example, on my blemishes I can see them opening and ridding themselves of the gunk inside them without rupturing the skin which can cause dark spots.

Overall Results so far:

• No irritation or redness even though I use a very strong acne cleanser in the morning
• My skin looks very healthy and bright
• My oil is the same unfortunately
• My cheeks broke out a lot in the beginning, however now they are clear and other sections of my face seem to be doing the same. This can be annoying because when you first use it your skin breaks out a lot, then breaks out in certain places till it clears up. However, a Mary Kay consultant did warn me of this because the system is supposedly flushing the skin of impurities and deep cleaning till it reaches it's normal state and is balanced.
• Since this system does balance and calm the skin, blemishes seem to go away faster since they are not irritated. Furthermore, irritation can cause more breakouts.
• Over exfoliation also can cause acne so I only use the mask every other day or a couple times a week which works out great.
• Con: System does have parabens :(
