Youth To The People Brand Review

*AD info - this post contains press samples and affiliate links.

 

When I first heard that Youth To The People were coming to the UK, I did a little happy dance! I'd been wanting to try their products for a long time. As soon as they became available at Cult Beauty, I ordered one of their mini kits. Not long after that I was sent some of their range as PR. I wanted to give all the products a good test before writing my review, so it's taken a while as I didn't want to open them all at once (well I did but you know what I mean haha). Better late than never, right? I'll start with the Youth To The People product that probably gets the most hype and the one I'd been dying to try the most...

Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask (available HERE for £42) - This was so different to what I expected! Although it's described as rich, it's still somehow really lightweight. It just melts into skin beautifully leaving it nourished and hydrated. It contains four hydrating ingredients - squalane, hyaluronic acid, betaine and glycerin. It's also packed with antioxidants thanks to Vitamin C and superberries. I absolutely adore this overnight mask. It leaves my skin so plump and hydrated! It has a lovely fruity scent. Definitely lives up to the hype.

Dream Eye Cream (available HERE for £42) - This is the matching eye cream to Dream Mask. It has a very similar texture - rich without being heavy. It contains Vitamin C to brighten and goji stem cells to stimulate cell renewal. Just like the mask, it's really hydrating. I like this but I probably wouldn't repurchase it as there's other eye creams I prefer.

Superfood Cleanser (available HERE for £31) - Wow do I love this! It's a gorgeous gel that gently lathers. It rinses clean easily and leaves skin soft and clean. It's super gentle - it doesn't leave my skin stripped. It's packed with antioxidants and vitamins. I love the scent of it too. It's a really unique fresh / green scent that I find quite addictive! I'm glad it comes in a huge bottle because it's quickly become my go-to AM cleanser. I love that it has a pump dispenser too - so user friendly. Definitely a staple in my skincare stash. 

Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream (available HERE for £42) - This is such a beautiful moisturiser. It's a lightweight gel / cream that gives skin an instant boost of hydration. It contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate, antioxidants green tea and kale as well as Vitamins C, E and K. It's brilliant for dehydrated, oily skin like mine. It has a similar fresh scent to the cleanser. Another winner!

15% Vitamin C + Clean Caffeine Energy Serum (available HERE for £59) - This serum contains three types of stable Vitamin C - Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate as well as caffeine to depuff and squalane to moisturise. It's a beautiful runny, gel texture that absorbs beautifully into skin. It instantly hydrates. It layers well with other skincare too. I've not had any pilling / rolling issues. A really lovely serum, perfect if you don't like oily Vitamin C serums.

Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial (available HERE for £47) - This contains both physical exfoliant as well as fruit enzyme exfoliation. It's quite a thick paste-like texture. The physical exfoliant is fairly gentle but I wouldn't say it's suitable for sensitive skin as the brand suggest. You apply the mask to damp skin, massage gently, leave on for a couple of minutes, then rinse clean. I found it very hard to remove using a cloth. It left the physical exfoliant on my face and took ages and a lot of scrubbing to fully remove. I found it works much better using it in the shower, then rinsing clean with running water (turned down to warm). It comes off easily then, leaving skin super soft and smooth. It's not something I'd repurchase but I love it's results. 

Superclay Purify + Clear Power Mask (available HERE for £31) - This has to be one of the best clay masks I've ever used! It contains 3 types of clay to reduce oiliness, 2% Niacinamide to help with barrier function, salicylic acid to clear pores and kombucha to balance skin. It's a beautiful, creamy texture that doesn't fully dry down. It doesn't dry skin out like other clay masks and if feels incredible gentle. It's so effective though! It's brilliant to help clear up break outs. I absolutely love it!

Kombucha + 11% AHA Exfoliation Power Toner (available HERE for £33) - This toner contains 8% Lactic Acid, 3% Glycolic Acid as well as two prebiotic ferments (kombucha black tea and tree bark). It's designed to smooth skin as well as helping keep skins microbiome healthy. I've found it to be pretty gentle. It instantly leaves skin feeling super soft and smooth. Nice enough but didn't wow me.

And that's all I've tried so far! As you can tell, I've found some absolute gems with this brand that I'll repurchase in a heartbeat. Have you tried YTTP yet?
