[ Review ] Sabon Delicate Jasmine Body Scrub

 

Product Description

Boasting a unique blend of mineral-rich Dead Sea salts and 3 organic botanical oils (Sweet Almond, Argan, and Jojoba), Sabon exfoliating scrubs are expertly crafted to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote natural skin renewal with the proven power of gentle exfoliation and intense nourishment from the first use.

Our skin naturally sheds dead cells every day, but as we age or when skin turnover slows, buildup can leave the surface feeling rough, dull, and uneven. That’s where body scrubs come in. Designed as a form of physical exfoliation, body scrubs typically use particles such as sugar, salt, coffee grounds, or microcrystalline powders to buff away dead skin cells. 

Many modern formulations go beyond simple exfoliation, combining nourishing oils, humectants like glycerin, and soothing botanicals to leave the skin soft, hydrated, and radiant. Regular use not only helps to smooth skin texture but can also improve the absorption of subsequent body care products, such as lotions or serums.

After emptying Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub, it was time to try out the Delicate Jasmine variant, which I purchased during a sale. 

I didn't like the Delicate Jasmine hand cream when I tried it back in 2019 but was pleasantly surprised that the scent was subtle in the body scrub. 

Top notes: Bergamot | Middle notes: Ylang-ylang, Jasmine, Rose, Lily of the Valley | Base notes: Vanilla, Musk

Housed in a similar charming glass jar with a metal cap and rustic green paper detailing like Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub, the mixture of salt and oils makes it a lovely soft scrub with a hint of abrasion ( may not be ideal for sensitive skin types ) that left my body soft and smooth. 

The key ingredients are....

Magnesium : Soothing and healing, improves skin barrier function, boosts hydration levels, and enhances skin metabolism.

Potassium : Natural moisturizer with antibacterial powers.

Organic Sweet Almond Oil : Rice in Vitamin A and essential fatty acids. Soften and smooth effect on the skin.

[ Review ] Dr. Satin Caviar Vivify Collagen Mask

 

Product Description

Formulated with small-molecule collagen for better absorption, Dr. Satin Caviar Vivify Collagen Mask helps support the skin’s natural collagen production while replenishing moisture. It delivers deep hydration to revitalize tired skin and enhances firmness for a lifted, youthful-looking appearance with a radiant glow.

I first came across this mask while browsing for For Beloved sheet masks at Watsons in Taipei. The promoter enthusiastically recommended the local brand Dr. Satin, even suggesting it was better than For Beloved Girl masks though she did note that For Beloved One still holds the top spot.

Collagen is one of the key proteins that keeps our skin smooth, plump, and firm. As we age, our natural collagen levels gradually decline, leading to fine lines, dryness, and loss of elasticity. Sheet masks infused with collagen or collagen-boosting ingredients are designed to give the skin an instant surge of hydration while supporting its natural repair process. They act as a quick at-home treatment, helping to restore suppleness, improve skin texture, and enhance radiance in just one application.

[ Review ] Everyyou Retinol Manaza Sheet Eye Mask

 

Product Description

Everyyou Retinol Manaza Sheet Eye Mask provides moisturizing care for the lack of moisture around the eyes, which can appear droopy and shriveled. It also adds shine and firmness to the important eye area, which determines the impression you make.

The skin around the eyes is one of the thinnest and most fragile areas of our face, making it more prone to dehydration, fine lines, and signs of fatigue. Unlike other parts of the skin, the under-eye area has fewer sebaceous glands and weaker barrier functions, which means it requires targeted care.

Eye masks are formulated to deliver concentrated active ingredients in a short period of time, often using hydrogel, biocellulose, or bio-degradable sheet technology to enhance absorption. Depending on the formulation, they can provide hydration with humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, improve circulation with caffeine, soothe irritation with botanical extracts such as chamomile or green tea, and support skin repair with peptides or ceramides.

After emptying AHC Premium Hydra Gold Foil Eye Mask and Goodal Green Tangerine Vita-C Eye Gel Patch, it was time to try out Everyyou Retinol Manaza Sheet Eye Mask which I purchased during my Taiwan trip last year. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Made in Japan, the Everyyou Retinol Manaza Sheet Eye Mask comes packaged in a round tub containing 60 pairs of thin, crescent-shaped masks. I appreciate that it includes a small tweezer for hygienic and easy pick-up. 

This was actually my first time encountering such a generous quantity of eye masks in one pack, making it feel both convenient and value-for-money. Each mask is thoroughly soaked in a gel-based serum, ensuring good adherence to the skin although uneven at times. 

On application, the masks feel refreshing and comfortable. After about 20 minutes, the serum dries down moderately, leaving behind a subtle tightening sensation around the eye area, probably a sign that the product is actively working.

These eye masks can also be used on the laugh lines although I did not use them that way.

Where To Purchase : Shopee SG

Conclusion

To conclude, the Everyyou Retinol Manaza Sheet Eye Mask stands out for its generous supply, hygienic packaging, and serum-soaked formula. The immediate refreshing feel and mild tightening effect make it a quick pick-me-up for tired eyes, while the inclusion of retinol hints at longer-term benefits for fine lines and skin texture with consistent use. 

Although results may vary depending on skin type and sensitivity to retinol, this eye mask is a practical option for anyone looking to add a targeted treatment into their routine without the fuss of single-use packets.

[ Review ] 23.5°N Soy Yogurt Plumping Cream Mask

 

Product Description

23.5°N Soy Yogurt Plumping Cream Mask is the result of an innovative collaboration of 23.5N with a local yogurt brand in Taiwan. It features the tiny molecules of soy yogurt after fermentation that effectively moisturize the skin and giving it the bounciness that you’re craving for! Through the fermentation technology in a dust-free environment equivalent to that of a pharmaceutical factory, 23.5N masterfully converted the organic soy and probiotics from the soy yogurt intro pure extract that is more easily absorbed by the skin. Together with high-efficiency skincare ingredients peptides and amino acids, you can now say goodbye to fine lines and rough skin and welcome smooth and refined skin texture.

I purchased 23.5°N Soy Yogurt Plumping Cream Mask during my last trip to Taiwan in November 2024. Despite knowing that most of their products (23.5°N Bamboo Gel Mask, 23.5°N Red Pearl Barley Brightening Gel Mask and 23.5°N Rice Soothing Active Set) were too gentle for me, I still wanted to give this a try. 

When your skin feels irritated, tight, or just a little out of balance, a cream mask can be a comforting blanket. It’s that extra step of care that helps restore balance and keep the complexion calm, plump, and more resilient.

Unlike clay masks that focus on deep cleansing, cream masks are designed to soothe, hydrate, and strengthen the skin barrier. They give the skin a comforting “reset,” replenishing lost moisture while calming redness and sensitivity.

[ Review ] Axis-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment

 

Product Description

Axis-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment is formulated for acne-prone, oily and sensitive skin, as it provides effective relief from breakouts and blemishes. This light gel is also infused with hydrating Ceramide capsules to help restore the skin barrier.

I received Axis-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment together with a bunch of goodies from a Stylekorean collaboration some time back. With good experiences in their past products like Axis-y New Skin Resolution Gel Mask, Axis-y Green Vital Energy Complex Sheet Mask, Axis-y Aqua Boosting Essence Toner, Axis-y Heartleaf My Type Calming Cream and Axis-y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, I was excited to try out Axis-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment.

When it comes to blemish treatments, many of us have a love-hate relationship. Traditional spot gels often work fast but leave the skin around the breakout feeling dry, tight, and sometimes even flaky. 

That’s why I prefer one that balances effectiveness with gentleness. A formula that can target blemishes quickly, without stripping or dehydrating the skin, so you get clearer skin and maintain a healthy complexion. The best ones soothe, calm, and reduce redness while keeping the skin comfortable with no harsh dryness, no peeling.

I used to struggle with hormonal pimples that popped up around that time of the month, but as I’ve grown older, they’ve shifted into the occasional random breakout on my chin. That’s why having an effective spot corrector for pimples has become an essential part of my skincare routine. I used to rely h on the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil 100% Pure Multipurpose Liquid, but over time I found that it’s not as effective on my skin anymore which led me to explore gentler yet more targeted blemish treatments.
