Fresh® Umbrian Clay Skincare is a purifying collection that calls upon Fresh®’s proprietary ingredient, Umbrian Clay to clarify and balance normal to oily skin. The clay has a uniquely high-alkaline mineral content which neutralizes acidity on the skin – too much of which can muddle skin tone and texture and throw skin off balance. It works to purify the skin, eliminate dead skin cells and combat clogged pores, treating skin’s imperfections and refining the skin’s texture.

The brand’s discovery of Umbrian Clay began when its founders, Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg’s close friend who suffered from severe cystic acne for years, came upon an ultra-fine white clay in an Italian herbal store. Lev and Alina traced the clay back to the small Tuscan town of Nocera Umbria, the sole source of the naturally-occurring white clay – or “argilla blanca” as the locals call it. Through their research, they learned that the clay has been the basis of therapeutic treatments for centuries.

Umbrian Clay® Mattifying Serum 30ml

 


This serum has been specially designed for normal to oily skin, formulated to hydrate and tone while minimizing the appearance of pores and controlling shine. Since my skin isn’t oily, I don’t use this on a daily basis. It is very lightweight and readily absorbed into skin.

Other than Umbrian Clay, it contains ginger root pore-refining complex and meadowsweet extract for regulating oil production. There is also olive leaf extract to help restore suppleness and protect against free radicals.

Umbrian Clay® Face Treatment 100ml

 

The Face Treatment can be used either as an instant detoxifying mask or a daily deep cleanser. It isn’t for removing makeup and I find it quite drying as a mask or as a cleanser. After all, it’s for removing excess sebum and is more suitable for oily skins.

The consistency is fluid and runny but it’ll dry a bit although not harden within 5 minutes. Other than Umbrian Clay and olive leaf extract, it contains sandalwood oil known for its astringent properties and helps to calm the skin.

Fresh® products are available exclusively at Sephora and the Serum & Face Treatment retail at RM129 each.
