Product:
Sleeping packs are a great way to keep your skin moisturized during the colder months of the year. It’s best to find ones with thicker consistencies, because skin needs extra protection and moisture to remedy dry and chapped skin caused by the cold. Currently, we find that Too Cool for School’s Pumpkin Sleeping Pack is the perfect trick for achieving bright, moisturized skin in the winter.

How it worked for us:

The Pumpkin Sleeping Pack is a winter must have. The thick consistency of the pack ensured that we woke up every morning with moisturized skin that practically glowed. Irritated or patchy coloring had disappeared, replaced with a bright and even complexion. We never had to worry about a “sticky” or “tacky” feeling to our skin, and neither of us had to worry about it making our skin oily the next day. It’s safe to say that this product put a spell on us.
Pros:
-Skin appears moisturized, plumper, and brighter in the morning
-Did not cause any acne
-Cute and travel friendly packaging
-Strong perfume scent that we enjoy
Cons:
-Strong perfume scent that others may be sensitive to
-Pumpkin isn’t very high on the list of ingredients

Thank you so much! We’re glad you like it! As for the sleeping pack, it doesn’t smell very much like pumpkin but you’ll definitely gain all the benefits pumpkin has for your skin!

I have this sitting in my cabinet just waiting to be tried out! I’m trying to finish up some other sleeping packs first, but now I’m really tempted to try it out.

It’s really great! Gentle and does a light exfoliation. People compare it to Laneige’s water sleeping pack, but I say this one beats Laneige by a landslide!

Yeah, their sleeping pack isn’t as thick, and for me it felt sticky afterwards. Thankfully since this is a cream, it left our faces feeling silky.
