Holistic Vanity Acne Care Line - Purifying Black Mud Cleanser, Pine Mint Skin Tonic, Clarifying Black Cumin Oil & Balancing Black Mud Turmeric Lotion

Holistic Vanity Purifying Black Mud Cleanser ($28) - Holistic Vanity says this cleanser is non-stripping, strong yet gentle due to the detoxifying and balancing Black Mud. I do find the cleanser very gentle. It's effective but not effective enough. That waterproof mascara? Liquid lipstick? Those babies need something heavy duty. I prefer the Black Mud Cleanser for mornings and find it necessary to pair it up with an oil-based remover in the evenings.

Holistic Vanity Anti-Bac Pine Mint Skin Tonic ($26) - Smells like a forest. This is my FAVE product of the Acne-fighting line. It's in a pump bottle which is inconvenient but pouring the product into a spray bottle makes this skin tonic a mist a dream come true. The pine needles and mint leaves skin feeling refreshed. 

Holistic Vanity Clarifying Black Cumin Oil ($43) - Sometimes I like oils. Sometimes I don't. The Black Cumin Oil features cumin oil for its antibacterial qualities and babassu oil for its anti-inflammatory qualities. But this one wasn't for me. Despite being targeted for oily/acne-prone people, I found this oil too heavy for my face. 

Holistic Vanity Balancing Black Mud Turmeric Lotion ($50) - Last but not least, the turmeric lotion - a lightweight moisturizer that includes many of the ingredients aforementioned... black mud, babassu oil, etc. It leaves skin feeling hydrated but not to the point of oiliness and absorbs immediately into the skin. 

If anything, the tonic and lotion are the star products - both great for balancing the skin. The cleanser and oil fell a little short of my expectations so as a total range, I can't really speak for its ability to combat acne-prone skin.
