Overview
Mad Hippie 1103 is a set-format facial kit designed for combination skin, priced at $33.49 and packaged in a carton. The light apple scent gives the kit a fresh character without being heavy, and the set positioning means it covers more than a single routine step.
Specific key ingredients are not listed in the available data, which makes it harder to compare on a formula level, but the 4.6-star average from 238 buyers is one of the stronger ratings in this price range. Mad Hippie as a brand has a following among buyers who want thoughtful formulation without department-store pricing.
No monthly purchase data was recorded at the time of this review, but the 238-review count at 4.6 stars suggests the people who buy it tend to come away satisfied. Combination skin shoppers, who often struggle to find kits that address both oily zones and drier areas without overcorrecting, seem to respond particularly well to this one.

- Mid-range price of $33.49 for a set-format kit
Cons

Performance notes
Without specific ingredient data, performance notes are based on the combination skin targeting and set format. Effective combination skin routines typically balance light hydration for drier areas with oil control or pore-minimizing support for the T-zone. The fact that buyers consistently rate this highly for combination skin suggests the formulation achieves that balance, even if the exact mechanism cannot be confirmed from available specs alone.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star rating from 238 reviews puts Mad Hippie 1103 in a clearly positive position. The score is high enough to reflect genuine product satisfaction rather than a statistical blip. Buyers who understand they are buying for combination skin seem to feel the kit delivers on that specific promise. The moderate review count still leaves some uncertainty for edge cases, but the overall signal is favorable.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a specific kit for combination skin useful?
Combination skin has both oily zones, typically the forehead, nose, and chin, and drier zones on the cheeks and around the eyes. Products built for purely oily skin can over-dry the drier patches, while products for dry skin can make the oily areas feel heavier. A kit formulated with combination skin in mind is designed to work across both zones without aggravating either.
What is the apple scent like in the Mad Hippie kit?
The apple scent is listed in the spec data as the product scent, suggesting it is a light, fresh fragrance rather than a heavy perfume. Based on Mad Hippie's broader brand positioning around plant-based and natural formulations, the scent likely comes from natural sources rather than synthetic fragrance compounds. If fragrance of any kind causes your skin to react, it is best to patch test before full application.
How does this compare to other combination skin kits under $35?
In this price range, the 4.6-star average gives Mad Hippie 1103 a strong comparative position. Many kits in the under-$35 range are formulated for single skin types or come with minimal ingredient transparency. The Mad Hippie brand's reputation for thoughtful ingredient sourcing adds some additional confidence. If ingredient-level comparison is important to you, checking the full ingredient list on the retail page before purchase is the best next step.
