TOMATOX

One of Tony Moly's best selling product is now in my hands.  Many have already shared their experiences with this product, most of them have oily, normal or combination skin.  I on the other hand have dry, sensitive skin so for those who have skin type like mine, hope this entry can be of great help to you.

Tony Moly's best-seller the TOMATOX Magic White Massage Pack.

It is a multi-functional massage and pack that contains tomato extract and tomato ingredient. It is designed to bring instant dual magic brightening and vitalizing and detoxifying effects into the skin.

As a soft massage and wash off mask, Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack delivers highly vitalizing, truly clarifying, magic brightening, skin hydrating and protecting effects to the skin, leaving it amazingly bright, clear and supple.

HOW TO USE:

After cleansing, apply on towel-dried face and gently massage for about 1~2min. After massaging, leave it on your face for 5~10min. Rinse out with lukewarm water and pat with towel. 2~3times use per week or use everyday as needed. -from Tony Moly Philippines

White and creamy in color and texture.  The smell is more like other über commercialize moisturizers rather than a real tomato.  The packaging is of course; CUTE, it has even a stem on top like a real tomato should be.  Upon opening, a plastic white lid  and a spatula will greet you.  The plastic box enclosing the tomato is also beautiful in red with 2 green leaves on top and has english description and instruction on one side (hoopla!!!).

So after washing and towel drying my face, I apply a "spatula-full" amount on my face and neck spreading evenly in a circular motion (since it's faster this way).  I let the product stay for 5 to 10 minutes but not for more than 10 minutes.  Why?  As I said, I have dry-sensitive skin and as per my observations, here's what happened to my face:

5 minutes                  - okay and gives the instant whitening the product promises

6 to 10 minutes          - kinda drying, it makes my face a little itchy

more than 10 minutes - small red spots appeared

I use Tomatox; most of time, once a week only.  The other times?  Whenever  I have pimples (as it helps in drying them out fast) and when my face feels oily, both of which seldom happens.

...with the flash on..Tomatox sure looks like a real tomato...

Thanks for reading.  Till then.  Bye!
