breeding ground for bacteria, causing acne,

inflammation and redness while lowering

the skin’s natural defence – it’s a vicious

cycle. The Soothe & Regulate Mask helps

break this cycle by targeting multiple issues,

showing improvement within a few weeks

if you apply once or twice a week. Use it

as part of the complete Comodex range for

better, lasting results.

and reduce pores; and Tasman pepper extract

for its soothing properties.

HOW TO USE:Apply onto the face but avoid

the eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes, then

use a wet compress to soften it, before wiping

off with a warm wet cloth.

WHAT TO EXPECT :The calming mask

gives a cooling and tingling sensation, but

otherwise shouldn’t cause any discomfort.

Right after use, the face appears brighter and

matte yet without feeling dry. A few hours

later the skin remains clear and shine-free.

BEST FOR: As the formula has been designed

to moderate sebum secretion, control

antimicrobial activity, repair scar tissue

and reduce inflammation, those with

oily and blemished skin will see the most

improvement.

FINAL VERDICT:Inflammation and redness

are, from my personal experience, very

difficult to treat. Too much sebum leads

to clogged pores, which provide a perfect

40

THE PROMISE:Comodex is a new range

by Christina that combines potent active

ingredients and cutting-edge technology to

treat oily skin caused by damaging factors

such as hormonal imbalance, stress and

infections. The Soothe & Regulate Mask

claims to renew such skin by balancing

sebum secretion and excretion, while

preventing comedones and calming irritation

and redness.

PACK AGING: The 75ml tube has a traditional

design with a matte finish. The tiny opening

and screw cap keep the product from drying

out and ensure it’s good for two years after

opening. Instructions and expiry date are also

clearly printed on the bottle.

WHAT’S IN IT:BSASM, which is anti-

inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidative;

seboreductyl, to regulate sebum production
