May Lindstrom’s exquisite skin care collection is on a meteoric rise. Adored by industry insiders – and any of those savvy enough to have scooped up one of her homemade miracle workers – the range checks every ‘eco’ box, without compromising on efficacy. One of the best-selling products in her small (but considered) offering, The Problem Solver is a phenomenally purifying mask composed of antioxidant-rich raw cacao, reparative bamboo charcoal and circulatory-boosting spices, to stimulate the elimination of toxins and help clear clogged pores. Jet black and powdery in appearance, this transforms into a fluffy mousse when mixed with water, to quickly clarify and kick-start sluggish skin cells into action. Your luminosity will be restored, and you’ll soon have a queue of envious friends, colleagues (and frenemies), desperate to discover your secret. Whether you choose to divulge it, is entirely at your discretion…

A former model turned ‘skin chef’, May Lindstrom began formulating this skin care haute cuisine in her kitchen – starting with the now iconic Good Stuff Radiance Oil, which caused such a furore amongst the supermodels, make up artists and hair stylists she encountered whilst being professionally good looking (sigh) that May was left with little option but to pursue her phenomenal talent for skin care alchemy. Shattering the boundary between natural and luxury, May Lindstrom’s products contain only the finest organic, biodynamic, wild-crafted and vegan ingredients, sustainably sourced and mindfully harvested. This is skin food for the beauty gourmand – and it’s totally calorie-free!

May Lindtstrom products

Purchased the full range. Beautiful products to use. My favourite is the problem solver; when mixing use a little water otherwise it can run down the face, when it’s nice and thick it’s a pleasure to apply and does wonders for the skin.

Her BEST!

This is May Lindstrom at her best. It is my absolute favourite product of her’s due to the results and the customisation. I love mixing a teaspoon of the mask with half a teaspoon of aloe barbadensis leaf juice and half a teaspoon of manuka honey. FABULOUS.

Love this, but too pricey!

This mask does wonders for my acne prone skin - it feels so soft and clean after I've used it and my skin looks great the next morning! The only bad thing with the mask itself is how messy it is! I repurchased this a couple of months ago because I loved it so much, but I'm really disappointed with the ridiculous price increase as I had initially purchased last year for £72! Not sure if I would purchase again due to the extortionate price.

Great treat - but...

I like this mask. Im a huge masks fan, and this one really feel so natural and good for you, that its a really nice treat. It does help with radiance, but when I was suffering a bad blemish - it didn't really made any difference...and for this price, I won't repurchase.

Sunday treat

I use this mask every Sunday night and it cleans out my pores and makes my skin look clearer. I won't be without it.

Requires time to experiment - perhaps not for everyone

TPS debate! Very mixed reviews on this product and I am no different. I bought this after reading May's website and emailing her team for advice. I did what I was advised to do: mix a small amount of TPS with a little water to achieve the "mousse-like consistency" and applied to my face. IT BURNED LIKE HELL. I freaked out and ran to the shower to wash it all off, and was startled and dismayed by my sore red face :( It took a day or two to calm down. It is also a very large tub of product, so I was doubly disappointed and annoyed at myself for "believing the hype". HOWEVER. A few weeks later, I was messing about and added 1/4 tsp of TPS into 1tsp of THM and a bit of TBC. BINGO. I found a way to make it work for me :D So, now I only use that combination on my t zone when my skin is blemished in that area or if I have been travelling and I feel uber gross with air-con and planes and stuffy buses and my skin feels like its absorbed all the gross-ness. It works well - any blemishes are definitely less red and on their way to healing the following day. Again, I only use this mask-combination at night. My skin needs time to calm and rest afterwards. It's too sensitive to go into the sun straight away or to have make up on after. It is really expensive for what it is, although is a big amount though, so maybe it balances out. I don't know. I still have LOADS left and I'm not sure I'll get through it all before it expires :/ It's getting 4 stars because it's not an essential product. Perhaps there should be a smaller tub available for a cheaper price. I think it's too potent, even when mixed with other products for weekly use. I don't agree with some of the ingredients (ie. Bicarbonate of soda - which is what gives that 'fizz' and 'mousse-like texture' I think). It's very strong to be used on the skin. I wash my bath tub with bicarb :o... Just sayin'. I respect May's philosophy and her creations. They are beautifully packaged and marketed - she is a goddess. But THP may not be for everyone and it's worth getting a sample before purchasing, for sure.

Remarkable

This really unclogs my skin, smoothens and brightens my complexion. It also helps to soothe zits and evens out any post-zit blemish. Before a special event, I use it everyday for at least 3 days to ensure my skin looks amazing as make-up always goes better on clean and clear skin. Unfortunately, this caused a slight breakout on my husband and brother. Whilst it works wonderfully for me, it may not be suitable for everyone. I'm still giving this 5 stars.

Potent

Looks and feels like dirt that you mix with a few drops of water to make a thin mask. Instructions say to leave it on for 45 minutes but about 10 minutes does it for me. This is most effective for refining pores as it gets in there and just clears the gunk out. The only thing I don't like about this is the powder format which gets messy. For sensitive skin try adding honey or the De Mamiel powder.

Essential!

TPS is an essential product in my routine. I use it twice a week to decongest and brighten my skin. I love mixing it myself, and will often add in a bit of the Honey Mud if my skin is feeling a little dry or sensitive. I leave it on for the recommended time and then rinse it off in the shower as it is a bit messy. My skin always feels super smooth and glows after. It is perfect finished off with the Youth Dew or Blue Cocoon. Also, you end up with 250ml of product for 96 pounds -- most masks are 50ml, meaning you are only paying around 19 pounds for the same amount, it is extremely good value for money!

Not the best

After two moths of use. I can say that this is too expensive for what it delivers. I do love the texture it turns into when mixed with water but results are quite mediocre.
