Monopoli Skin Care Set | Complete Routine: 9-Piece Face Care Set for Women & Teens for Anti-Aging, Hydration & Acne Control | Skincare Gift Set & Kits | Premium Skincare Set with Educational Resources

This set is so nice!!!! Wanted to start a skin care routine and it literally has everything I need. It comes in three separate boxes (great for gift giving) and the design is sleek and not cheap. The bottles are hard and not junky soft plastic. A little pricey but all skin care these days is pricey if you want good quality to see results. The product seems to work good and doesn’t have a bad smell.

I have ordered the Alexandra Monopoli 9 piece set as an attempt to declutter my vanity and minimize my face care routine. The packaging is sleek, black, clean, and minimalist that looks exactly like what I needed for a new start. I found this branding to be beautiful, the products also have this sleek look and appear attractive on the completely cleaned off counter. I am a retired professional with decades of face care experience and if you want to know why I would take such a risk, I have tried to downsize, declutter, and minimize in my free time across the board. I found makeup that had lived in my vanity longer than embarrassing and beyond safe, definitely past remotely stylish, and well after intended usage was easy. The boxes list the ingredients and the disappointing country of origin and there is absolutely no information as per usage. So, it looks great, but you have to pay attention. You have to go to an effort to find these directions, do not take for granted that everyone can use the products correctly, even after years of skin care. Unfortunately, any information as per ingredients is printed ONLY on the box, if you forget and have an order of operations or ingredient question later, you are back to researching and looking for answers. Fortunately, I do not have acne problems! Finally! So this is a waste for me. Once you do your research, you can effectively enjoy the benefits of the products. **Now, all of the gripes aside, and they are minimal, the products are mostly easy to apply, effective in their overall goal, and make me feel clean and clear. There is such a soft, minimal fragrance that is not offensive. The products are easy to manage and manipulate and they look so pretty on display. I am usually crunchy overall, so dry in the majority of my facial area so the creamy feel is a treat. The price is along the lines if I had purchased the needed product in these amounts, except for the one unneeded item. I have smooth, softer skin after repeated usage and I find my makeup sets better with this applied to my skin.

I couldn’t believe all this comes with, it comes in 3 separate boxes of complete skin care. Pre washes, washes, serums of all types, etc. all for the price is just amazing. It isn’t cheap either. It’s nice stuff. Even the boxes the products come in are super thick and nice. I haven’t had the set long enough to see an actual difference in my skin yet but I will be surprised if it doesn’t work really well.

The first thing that I could not help but notice about the Monopoli Skin Experience is the presentation. Because the boxes are sealed entirely with clear plastic, none of the bottles had a safety seal. The manufacturer placed all 9 items in three different boxes in what I would later learn was intended to be used together. Each box holds a trio of items and is divided into the following sets: Daily Essentials Kit: Pre-Cleanser Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser Hydrating Moisturizer Clear Confidence: Clear Confidence Serum Exfoliating Skin Pads BHA Clearing Mask Back To Basics: Hyaluronic Acid 10% Pomegranate Vitamin C Retinol There was an obvious attempt to make the plastic bottles appear high end as they are black colored with just the product name on the face of the bottle. I would have preferred being able to read the instructions on how you use each respective product and recommendations of how frequently to use each product as opposed to having to scan a QR Code found on the inside cover of each box in order to learn this information. I would have also been happy with a brochure or even a single sheet to reference directly. Once I was connected to the site, the first item that I found was the daytime and evening schedule to use the products for each of the seven days of the week. Then there were three videos that can also be found on YouTube. The creator behind Monopoli, Alexandra Monopoli, hosts each video explaining the thought process behind each set and a general idea of how to use each product. Oddly, there were no recommended/suggested quantities to use for the products whether it is either drop amount (for example 3 drops) or coin comparisons (for example a dime sized amount). Interestingly in one video, the host noted that the user can cut the exfoliating pad in half if using it for the face while using one whole pad for the body. I disagree with this recommendation. Based on the exfoliating pads that I received, I think one full pad would be ideal for the face. This was the first exfoliating pad that I have seen and used which had a cutout on the side making the round look incomplete. One common trait amongst all of the 9 products is that each had a fresh and clean fragrance that was unique from one another. The majority of the products worked well and did not leave a residue feeling behind with only the Retinol and the Hydrating Moisturizer leaving a hint of residue feeling after each respective application. The product that I was not a fan of was the Pre-Cleanser. I would learn from the videos that it is an oil-based product that is supposed to be capable of removing makeup and pollution from the skin but I did not experience success with this. My favorite products were the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser, Exfoliating Pads, and the 10% Pomegranate Vitamin C . The ingredients list for each specific product is located on the base of the box which holds the given item. A surprising detail is that the products are Made in China. Based on the price at the time this review was written, one would have thought that the products were made in Europe whether it be Italy or France. Overall, the majority of the products worked well but I did not like having to scan QR codes to get a general understanding for how to use the multiple products simultaneously. I appreciate the intention of the creator to make it a literal one stop shop that includes everything one would need in one place. But, I would have preferred clear recommendations in quantities for best results. I experienced good results but not great enough to encourage me to add this product to my Amazon cart again.

The full set contains products for every step of my skincare routine. Each product feels luxurious and thoughtfully crafted. The textures are light yet nourishing, and I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my skin’s overall tone and hydration. I also appreciate that the ingredients are clean and gentle—perfect for sensitive skin. It’s clear that Monopoli Skincare prioritizes quality and care in their products. Highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their skincare routine with effective, high-quality products!

This stuff is not luxury skin care. Everything in this set is cheaply made. I didn't notice any significant changes, even after using the product for a month. I went back to my old skin care routine.
