Sulwhasoo overnight vitalizing mask

Claims: Replenish your skin as you rest with this hydrating overnight mask, formulated with Korean medicinal herbs to reawaken skin's natural glow

Excellent ingredients ! This mask contains abundant of plant extract in a high concentration. Shea butter is good for sensitive and dehydrated skin,which can repair and nourish the skin.Squalene is a lipid to hold the moisture and regenerate the skin,which can be found naturally in our body.Ginseng extract is proven to deliver regenerating  and anti oxidative effect for the body cells.Licorice extract is proven be able to soothen the skin  by reducing the inflammatory reaction within the skin.There are endless list of plant extract,most of them are for hydrating,soothing and anti oxidative purposes.

The only thing makes me worry is the cetyl ethyhexanoate in the mask.That is a synthetic  lipid poses the risk of clogging pore.

This is a cream mask comes with a ginseng smell.Nourish but not oily,yet it can hydrate the skin appropriately.Application of a thin layer over the skin is very good for those who sleep in an air-cond room.The next morning you will wake up with a energized and hydrated skin.However,repeated usage every night will reduce the effectiveness,that is what I had noticed.Overall, I think I more encourage this mask for those with dull skin and require a good mask to boost the radiance.

Pros:hydrating,nourishing,time saving,energize skin

Cons:risk of clogging pore,long term usage reduce efficacy

Apply a thin layer all over the face after moisturizer,as the last step of night time skincare.For those who are looking for a faster result,apply a thick layer and spread all over the face for 15 mins then wash away with water.

Available in all sulwhasoo counters.Online purchase is easier in some countries where there have no sulwhasoo counters,I got mine from Singapore Tangs orchard road Sulwhasoo counter,68 SG dolar for 120 ml.

Chanel hydramax+ active moisture mask

Claims: Discover the powerful hydrating action of a comforting mask that bathes the skin in moisture. Formulated with Ceratonia PFA (a natural, purified ingredient), this formula targets the very heart of skin to boost the dynamics of skin hydration at the source. Its delicious cream texture envelops the skin, instantly delivering a deep feeling of soothing comfort. Apply the mask in the evening to infuse skin with moisture and wake up to incredibly soft, supple skin. 

The main hydrating ingredients in this mask are glycerin,shea butter, different kinds of essential oil,sodium pca and sodium hyaluronate which only requires a small amount to achieve an ideal result.

Alcohol and cetyl alcohol are not the top 5 main ingredients,but which may also be able to exert  some drying effect on the skin.Fragrance and methyparaben are too much.The antioxidant(tocopherol,ascorbyl glucoside and ascorbic acid) are too little to deliver the antioxidative effect.

This is a cream mask with a fresh marine parfum smell providing a colding effect on the skin during application,probably due to the alcohol in the product.When my skin is in a proper condition,application of this mask will make your skin looks brighter,smoothen and properly hydrated after 10 mins of application.However,when my skin is in a sensitized condition,application of this mask is not going to soothen the inflammation.On top of that,it will aggravate the symptom,making my skin itchy and red after application .=(Therefore,I only use this mask when my skin is in a good condition and before going to a big event because I need my skin to be radiant in a very short time.

Pros:smoothen ,hydrate skin and fresh

Cons:aggravate sensitized skin

Leaves on the mask for 10 mins and remove with a cotton bud.However I more prefer to massage my face with this mask and wash away with water.If you hope to use less amount to deliver the same result,I will recommend you to use 2 soy bean size and spread it all over the face,then cover your face with a plastic wrap that we normally used to cover the foods.I tried it many times and it works,this is actually a method to mimic salon facial.This method can be used on all hydration and whitening cream masks.

Available in all chanel counter,RM 189 for 75 ml.Chanel does not give free gift on purchase,so no matter how much you buy,what you can get is only a few samples.=(

NARUKO raw job`s tear supercritical CO2 whitening night jelly

The product claims it comes with a whitening,hydrating and anti aging effects,heard like a multi-tasker,but is it true?

Don`t be shocked by the perfect ingredient list,Naruko used to  make their products from natural plant extract,that`s why when you look at their ingredient lists almost all are plant extracts,however who know the water`s concentration is far more higher than the other constituents?

The texture is really refreshing especially if you keep it in your refrigerator ,the feeling is really a big `wao`.Besides that,it has a very natural plant smell,a little bit like candy,a delicious smell,lol.Lastly,lets talk about the effect,the whitening effect is considered ok for this open price product.I can see limited anti aging effect.The hydrating effect is just ok ok also.If you sleep in an air cond room and apply this alone maybe too dry for you,but for oily skin type that is enough.What I like the most is the soothing effect of this product.


Smooth 2 pea size of this night jelly all over your face at night,don`t have to massage,if you find your skin looks dull in the morning,you can massage your face with this night jelly for 2 min and leave it for 5 mins for an immediate glowing effect.


Pros:soothing,affordable price
Cons:limited effect,may be not hydrate enough for dry skin type


available in all watson,RM 44.9 for 60 ml,you can get the same size with just RM 39 in most of the beauty fairs 

NEUTROGENA-hydro boost mask

This is the hydrating mask that I like the most,I used this since my form 5 time until now,but actually I tried the whitening mask first before trying out this one.Neutrogena produces really good masks.


Product claims:

In fact the ancestor of this mask`s paper is different.Previously this mask`s paper is designed with multi-tiny pores for better absorption purpose.The newly updated mask`s paper is stretchable with a firming purpose.However I don`t feel any different effect for this newly updated mask,still effective.

I won`t buy this product if I only look at the ingredient list,because the preservative(methylparaben) is at the top one third of the list.Fortunately ,I don`t react with the mask negatively yet.=)On top of that, the mask won`t clog pore or causing blackhead with their non greasy texture.

The model is my elder bro,lol...

This mask can fit your face well,this is important because the fitter the mask to your face ,the better the mask can be absorbed.Each piece of mask is soaked generously with adequate amount of transparent,smell less hydrating essence.After put on the mask,I will squeeze out every drop of essence left in the plastic and reapply on the mask,neck and limb.

Because of I wan to take this pic,I wait until midnight on that day...zzz

After removing the mask,you can see your skin pumps up and the effect can last for 2 days.The essence can be absorbed nicely but you still can feel a little bit sticky after that.


Apply this mask twice a week.Personally,after cleansing I will directly put on this mask for 15 min( dun more than that or your face will get drier),then wash it away this is because the high concentration of preservative will make my skin allergic if I leave it overnight .Exfoliation before putting on this mask can improve the absorption.If your skin is not in a stable condition maybe due to the whole day of sun exposure,it is better to put the mask in the refrigerator 15 mins before using this mask,the feeling is excellent when you first put on the mask ~!


Pros:effective and the result can last for 2 days,can fit your face well
Cons:pricy(individually),high concentration of preservative


available in pharmacies,watson,and guardian,RM59.9 for 5 pieces.You can get RM 35.5 for 6 pieces at during end year sale.

SKIN PEPTOXYL derma-renewal 3 mins peel

Skin peptoxyl is a doctor brand,which is not very famous in Malaysia yet because of lack of advertisement,but I do think this is a good think because their customers pay less on advertisement fee,lol.
The product claims that it can remove keratinized skin cell effectively and safely for a younger looking and radiant skin,at the same time it can improve the skin texture and refine the pore.

The word is not very clear,just patient a bit...

The second ingredient of this product is xanthum gum,which helps to make the product comes in a gel texture,but it won`t damage or make your skin sensitive,don`t have to bother too much.The active ingredient for this product is glycolic acid,lactic acid and pyruvic acid,the all three active ingredients are grouped as alpha hydroxy acid(AHA).AHA is proven able to remove the dead cells from the skin surface at the same time encourage the dermis to produce more collagen,therefore AHA helps in skin firming and improve skin texture also.The concentration of AHA in this product is also high enough to perform the function properly,won`t burn your skin at the same time works well.

The exfoliating gel is very watery and transparent,you can spread it out easily.However it got a very awful smell~!It is something like chemistry lab smell,but I still can tolerate with it.After applying this for 3 minutes you just wash it away ,and it can be removed easily,not like some of the clay masks stick closely to your face like hell.You will feel your skin really soft and smooth and the best thing about this product is that you don`t have to rub at all,because for some of the exfoliating gels,rubbing is required for it to work.I found this really beneficial ,the inventor of this product understand that sensitive skin can`t be rubbed at all or the whole face will become like strawberry red,so this product really suites me well~!


So,this product should be applied twice a week or less if you can`t tolerate with it.It may be a little bit stingy for some of you,it is normal.After cleansing put on this.After three minutes just wash it away to see your porcelain like skin and continue with your normal skincare steps,but don`t use any other exfoliating stuff with this,do well in sun protection the next day.


Pros:effective,don`t have to rub your skin,won`t irritate 
Cons:awful smell
