Hello, hello and happy Friday!
Today I have a review of the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask from Shamanuti that I received in my October Petit Vour subscription box. I’ve had a chance to try this several times now, and feel ready to let you know what I think. [all info in italics is from the Petit Vour website]
WHAT IT IS:
A pumpkin facial masque, rich with nutrients
WHAT IT DOES:
• Transforms dull complexions into brighter, healthier skin
• Rejuvenates skin while preserving its natural, protective mantle
This Pumpkin Masque is rich in natural antioxidants, enzymes and over 100 beneficial nutrients, which increase the rate of cell renewal, transforming dull complexions to bright and healthy skin. Comparable to the effects of alpha hydroxyl acids, this organic face masque rejuvenates skin while preserving its natural protective mantle.
I’ve tested out and reviewed a few pumpkin based facial masks previously – the Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask from Anadalou Naturals (review is here) and the Incredible Pumpkin Peel from MyChelle Dermaceuticals (here), so I was excited to try this one out.
Masks have acids or enzymes in them usually tingle when applied – and this one does tingle a bit. For me, it is within the tolerable range, and not in the danger zone of face melting. If you have sensitive skin or sensitivity to acids / enzyme based products ALWAYS DO A PATCH TEST before trying on your face. Trust me on this one.
Your skin will glow after using this mask. And it looks and smells like pumpkin pie filling – which I love! My skin does not feel dry or stripped after using.
I only have one complaint about this mask – the pump in the sample size clogs easily due to the thickness / texture of the mask which is annoying. So I just take the pump off and use it to scoop the mask out of the bottle. The packaging for the full size looks similar to the sample size, so it might be an issue.

Do you like this more than other pumpkin ones you’ve used? I know that you loved the MyChelle one – is this on par?

I really like this one, it is comparable quality to both the Andalou and MyChelle ones – I loved both – maybe a bit more rustic in its formulation.

I’m new to the pumpkin enzyme craze! I tried an exfoliating powder containing the enzyme recently and really liked it! I haven’t heard of this brand before x

Shame about the pump, I’m not sure I’d like this as I’m not the biggest pumpkin lover!

If you don’t like pumpkin, you really wouldn’t like this one – it smells exactly like pumpkin pie!
