Review : Lovemore Rose Crystal Tourmaline Peptide Moisturising Duo Lifting Mask



Product Description
The latest "turning back time lifting" mask fights against gravity, lifting the skin at your neck, mouth, cheeks and eyes area.

The set of 10 masks in 1 pack is much cheaper in Taiwan than getting the 5 masks pack in local Watsons. I think each pack was going for NT199, compared to the S$8.90 for 5 sheets in local Watsons.
Looking at the ingredients, I am impressed that the collagen peptide is 2nd on the list which meant that the concentration is much higher. It does boast of a few anti-aging ingredients, on a higher concentration than its moisturising ingredients counterparts. And hey, I am definitely happy to see that water is the last on the list, its indeed very rare. Most "water" ingredient is usually located on the 1st or 2nd place on the ingredient list.
However, do note that it does contain Methylisothiazolinone which may cause nerve damage (source)

That said, this is actually my first foray into this brand which I bought in Taiwan in May this year. I was not sure if it fits my skin type, but I still bought a number of different flavours from this brand. Beauty obsession at work!

I was dismayed to find out that I actually broke out in zits from the initial 3 sheets I used from the whitening range which I have yet to review. I skipped that for a while and usd this moisturising and lifting mask instead.
Thankfully, nothing went wrong and I used up all the 10 sheets in the box.

This brand is actually pretty popular online, I did not really scrutinize if all the reviews were sponsored, but I genuinely believe that most people do really like this brand. However, I actually feel that this mask is really bad for me. In general, masks work pretty well on my skin, especially moisturising masks which are no-brainers on my dehydrated skin. I couldn't tell if I love or hate this mask, which is why I have been using all 10 sheets before doing a final judge call. I just find it a pity that a mask with pretty awesome ingredients just does not work on my skin.

It has a non-offensive scent and the sheet mask with tiny spheres texture has 4 hooks, 2 which you hooked to the ears and another 2 which you hooked from the neck up to the ears.
Its meant to help in the lifting part, but because my face is on the cherubic side, hooking up to the ears meant that its super tight which left some gaps near my nose area. Its difficult to explain in words, but essentially, because it pulled up the whole sheet, there is some lift up near my nose area hence, that portion is not really moistured.
The tight feeling also meant that its slightly uncomfortable on the skin with the addition of a burden of 2 hooks on each ear.

Its very wet and so even though its recommended to use it for 20minutes, I thought I can use it for more than 30minutes since its still that wet. However, it does not work that way, unlike other masks I owned. It dries up my skin, even though the sheet mask is still pretty wet when I removed it. The dry feeling is very apparent 2 minutes after mask removal.
And even after removing it from the stipulated 20minutes, that dry feeling is still there sometimes. No moisturising mask have ever done that to my skin and I disliked that feeling very much.
My safest bet is to use it within 15minutes and to rinse off the remaining essence on my face to prevent the air from sucking back the moisture. That way, my skin feels more comfortable, though not sufficiently hydrated.

I did not see any visible lifting part, but then again, I may have overlooked it due to the dehydrating feeling I got, which made my skin parched.
For something that is supposed to give me anti-aging and moisturising benefits, this is sadly, not for my skin type.

i am surprised with peptide ranked high on the ingredient list, you got a broke out. i suspect the culprit is rose water since i think it can sensitize sensitive skin.

Hi Tiffany,
I did not have any zits from using this mask. Its from another mask under the same brand which I would review next time, after some monitoring. Thanks for reading.
