Review overview
There are not many reviews from buyers of "Arcadia" cosmetics. This is most likely due to the fact that products of the brand are purchased by cosmetologists much more often than for ordinary home use. Nevertheless, it is still possible to find important information.
There are positive comments about milk with fruit acids. Customers report that although the effect did not appear until after the third or fourth application, it was quite impressive - the pores have become smaller, and the skin relief has improved. Many people praise the day cream of the Courage series for the complete absence of oily sheen throughout the day and the required result of softening and nourishing the skin.
Peelings of the Arcadia brand are not very popular. Customers note their increased aggressiveness, even the subsequent appearance of acne. The anti-couperous mask does not cause delight either. However, even the experts themselves suggest that the problem may lie in the individual "rejection" of the product.Other masks, for example, are even praised by customers - a mask for atonic skin, a mask after mechanical cleaning, a sebum-normalizing mask, soothing with rose oil.
The number of positive and negative responses is approximately equal, so it is rather difficult to predict whether or not Arcadia cosmetics will suit a particular woman.
