About Odacité
Some of you may recall Odacité from my raving review of their Pure Elements Serum Concentrates. If you haven’t read it, here’s a quick intro to the brand:
Odacité is a French play on the word “Audacity”. But it’s not a French brand. This is a made-in-California skin care range based on French skin care philosophy.

The brand also strives to produce vegan products that are PETACertification, which means their products not not tested on animals.
But what’s really unique about the brand is that their range comprises a series of unique products offering customize skin routine to answer specific skin concerns. Like Odacité Pure Elements Serum Concentrates. And now, the new Odacité Pure Elements SYNERGIE[4].

Alrighty. Although Odacité SYNERGIE[4] is just one product, it packs a punch of skin benefits. And because it’s so versatile, a new user or someone who hasn’t dabbled with DIY skin care can get a little overwhelmed.
So to get round the what’s-what and the how’s-how, I’ve created some basic FAQs to help you out. Here goes:
What exactly is Odacité SYNERGIE[4]?
It’s a mixture of powder to be used as a masque treatment. Think clay masque. Mud masque. Mud pack. Detox masque.

Kaolin Clay, Bentonite Clay, Papain Powder (Papaya Enzmes), Lactobacillus Acidophilus (Probiotics), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Activated Charcoal, Tartaric Acid (Aha Fruit Acid), Malic Acid (Fruit Acid).
Ingredients are 100% natural, vegan, GMO- and gluten-free.

Papaya Enzmes + Fruit Acids To Peel

How do you use Odacité SYNERGIE[4]?
You should use this as a masque treatment after you’ve properly cleansed your face.
Now, there are many ways to create your skin cocktail with Odacité SYNERGIE[4]. The most basic is with water. If water is too boring for you, use milk, yogurt, fruit juice, kefir water, milk kefir, or honey.
To supercharge your treatment, add a drop of your favorite Odacité Pure Elements Serum Concentrate.
Whip the combination into a creamy paste that you can spread on your face and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes to dry. Wash off, then tone and moisturize as per normal.
How often should you use Odacité SYNERGIE[4]?
No more than twice a week or your skin might suffer dryness.
Is Odacité SYNERGIE[4] suitable for all skin types?
The masque treatment should work for all skin types but I would recommend those with sensitive skin to be extra careful. If you have this skin type, it’s best you keep your customization simple using water only. In addition, always conduct a patch test before applying on your entire face.
What can you expect after using Odacité SYNERGIE[4]?
Definitely clearer skin that is non-drying but smoother and more supple even upon first usage. Skin tone might even improve for some who do not exfoliate their skin as often.
For those with acne issues, this treatment can unclog your pores and calm your breakouts.
My experience with Odacité SYNERGIE[4]
I haven’t done a detox masque treatment for awhile now so this product was a refreshing change for me. My skin definitely showed signs of detox with decongested pores after the first two times of usage. But because I exfoliate my skin regularly, I don’t see too much difference to my skin tone. What I did get was skin that feels noticeably smoother and supple though.
As my primary concern was unsightly brown spots, I did a combination of Odacité SYNERGIE[4] + milk + a drop of Odacité Pure Elements Pa+G Serum Concentrate. I also tried honey as a variation to milk but honey is sticky so that combination was less ideal for me.
My thoughts on Odacité SYNERGIE[4]
I like the whole concept of Odacité SYNERGIE[4]]. It’s unusual and it appeals to the DIY fanatic in me.
The idea behind whipping up my skin cocktail means I can vary the treatment according to my needs. And I definitely enjoy customizing the product without have to jump through hoops.
The cute packaging also speaks to me. The product comes complete with a small metal bucket, a cute little metal whipper and a face brush to spread the masque. Included in the box is also a Beauty Recipe Guide with different suggestions to customize your masque treatments. Thoughtful much? I say they’re too clever.
Update: some of you have raise concerns regarding using clay with the metal accessories. Here’s what Odacité says: “Steel is an alloy of iron therefore not being a pure element, and is not technically a metal but a variation of one instead. Stainless steel equipment is usually used in the mining of clay in order to keep it from absorbing heavy metals while it is being harvested. The stainless steel bowl/whisk is totally safe to use and will not decrease the clay’s potency.”
Price and availability
Odacité SYNERGIE[4] is available in US for US$59 (200ml). More details on their website. It will probably take awhile before we get it here in Singapore unless you are willing to pay US$49 for the shipping.
But you can try your hands at winning the product plus 2 serum concentrates as Odacité is running a giveaway for the entire month of September. Go to their giveaway page to enter.
All the best! ^O^
This sounds similar to Innisfree concept. They have a clay or moisturising base ‘cup’ accompanied by various different add-ons, including Honey, Aloe Vera, Seaweed etc… You can buy 2 or 3 of these flavours and add to the cup. Not sure whether they have this in the Singapore outlets. Bought them in Jeju.
very cool!
Ah…sounds interesting. I haven’t checked Innisfree. I’ll check out the brand next time and see if they have what you’re saying here.
Hi!
very interesting review, but I’m so much concerned about the metal bucket and metal whipper, as the product contains clays. If you google how to use clays, it is usually adviced not to use metal tools.
Take care
Oh…hmmm…you have a point. It definitely didn’t occur to me. I need to check back with Odacite about this.
I ran a check with Odacite and here’s their response: “Steel is an alloy of iron therefore not being a pure element, and is not technically a metal but a variation of one instead. Stainless steel equipment is usually used in the mining of clay in order to keep it from absorbing heavy metals while it is being harvested. The stainless steel bowl/whisk is totally safe to use and will not decrease the clay’s potency.”
Thank you for posting such a great article! I found your website perfect for my needs. Thanks again…
Brightening and Firmness boosting is all what I need. This should suit me.
