Review on 🌵 YADAH Cactus Skincare Kit - Cruelty Free Vegan Hypoallergenic Toner, Pads, and Soothing Gel Set by Rosalee Rivera

It's a little strange to me that cactus-oriented skin care can be moisturizing and gentle. But the Yadah Cactus skincare line is something similar. The Yadah set includes three favorites from their cactus line. You will receive one 7.10 oz Cactus Full Size Hydrating Toner (with optional spray nozzle included). A large tin containing 60 pre-moistened Cactus toner pads. And a 3.7-ounce tube of Cactus Soothing Gel. The full version of the gel I used previously comes in an 8.45 ounce tube, identical in style and branding to the smaller tube. opted for a branded SPF stick or a creamy moisturizer to mix it in a bit. However, I am satisfied with the set as I am a fan of the Yadah brand. I've used a few of these before and found this $45 set to be an inexpensive way to replenish my stash. The main ingredient in all of them is Opuntia ficus-indica, better known as Opuntia. Ficus indica Prickly Pear Stem Extract has no natural odor. It is a mild natural remedy that can be used on all skin types. Due to its soothing properties, it is particularly suitable for acne-prone, dry, sensitive or inflamed skin. The stalk is a rich source of antioxidant compounds known as polyphenols, many of which are excellent at reducing signs of hypersensitivity in the skin. Not only is it a great source of antioxidants, but it also contains polyunsaturated fatty acids and amino acids that help repair and moisturize the skin. The cactus also contains vitamin C and magnesium. Tonic (cactus extract 87.62%). Indications: Contains witch hazel and can be used as a regular tonic or as a daily moisturizing spray. It is almost odorless, similar to water and has a calming effect. I chose to use the included spray nozzle instead of the regular toner (with spout cap). Wow. The mist on it is by far the most micronized atomizer I've ever used. I get a thin, smooth haze with no odor, a soothing, moisturizing product. Once I'm done with this bottle, I may have to reuse the atomizer; It's good. Pads (87% Cactus Extract) Indications: For a physical and mild chemical peel. The liquid essence contains betaine salicylate, a keratolytic beta hydroxy acid, or BHA, derived from sugar beets. These pads come in a durable, clear plastic tub with a flip top lid, containing 60 pre-soaked soft cotton pads. They don't look structured. They're big and thick enough to get the job done and retain a fairly clear cactus-rich essence (87%). To my slight disappointment, it contains peppermint leaf extract. I'm assuming Yada added it as a 'natural flavoring' which is totally unnecessary. Peppermint itself can be a sensitizer. As such, this may contradict the true purpose of cactus extract, which is to soothe inflamed or irritated sensitive skin. The pads have a light medicinal, almost lemony scent. As far as I can tell, there are no exfoliants or active ingredients (like BHA, AHA, etc.) in it. You can use these pads in a variety of ways. First, as a toner that you wipe over your face after cleansing. Second, remove excess oil, sweat or dirt between washes to freshen up. Or a third, as a stealth step, you put a couple of those cotton pads on your eyebrows and chin where you're irritated and let them sit for a few minutes. Irritation. Gel (95% Cactus Extract) Indications: The gel can be used as a moisturizing gel for those with oily and acne-prone skin or to enhance a head-to-toe creamy moisturizer. Yadah (Korean brand) Cactus Soothing Gel comes in a matte, soft plastic tube filled with a clear aloe vera-like gel. It contains 95% (palm) cactus extract. It can be used as a hydration booster and offers nourishing, soothing and soothing properties. Yadah Cactus Gel definitely has the same texture and viscosity as most aloe vera gels on the market. However, Yada suggests that cactus is a much better ingredient due to the abundant vitamins and minerals naturally found in Opuntia Ficus-Indica. Based on my experience with cactus-based skincare, I have to agree. Ingredients: (Declared Vegan) Opuntia Ficus-Indica Root Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, Water, Butylene Glycol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Panthenol, Allantoin, Carbomer, Arginine, Disodium EDTA, Hydroxyacetophenone, Caprylyl Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol 40 Years Old), Light, sensitive, hyperemic, acne prone, reactive (blistering, rash, rosacea), combination skin, for reference. If my skin doesn't like something, it lets me know almost immediately. I gravitate toward skincare products that are free of dyes, fragrances, and essential oils. Overall, this set is moisturizing, soothing, and non-irritating. I think they will be suitable for all users.
