[ Review ] Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask

 

Product Description

Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask is designed to soothe sensitive skin while targeting blemishes, offering a creamy vegan mask experience enriched with high-performance probiotics for a calm, clear complexion.

Probiotic rinse-off masks are designed to support the skin’s natural ecosystem while providing hydration and soothing benefits. Depending on their formulation, they may contain probiotic-derived ingredients, humectants such as hyaluronic acid, and calming ingredients to help maintain a healthy skin barrier. 

Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask promises to hydrate, soothe redness, and support the skin barrier with its probiotic-derived ingredient and plant-based moisturising ingredients. 

I had consciously avoided purchasing products from Antipodes for several years following a disappointing experience with the brand. An Instagram friend and I had both won a giveaway on its Instagram page, but neither of us received our prizes. When I followed up, I was told that the item had been sent out (without any tracking numbers) and was told to wait. The lack of a satisfactory resolution left a bad impression ever since.

When I came across Antipodes' rinse-off masks in Perth last year, I hesitated before eventually deciding to give them a try. I needed replacements for my recently emptied Wafood Made Uji Matcha Pack and Pixi Rose Remedy Mask, so I decided to put my reservations aside and see how the products performed.

[ Review ] Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Stick

 

Product Description

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Stick SPF 40 is a travel-friendly SPF stick with a weightless, colorless and scentless formula that delivers effortless sun protection. It glides on smoothly and leaves behind a natural finish with zero white cast that’s ideal for all skin types and tones.

WHERE TO BUY : Amazon

I love sunscreen sticks for their convenience and the extra layer of sun protection they offer throughout the day. They make sunscreen reapplication on the go so much easier, without the mess of squeezing out a lotion or getting product all over my hands. 

I purchased the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Stick from Sephora during a sale, following my previous empties, the Abib Quick Sunstick SPF50+ and Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Balm SPF 30.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Stick comes in a compact, round 20g format, making it easy to carry around for sunscreen reapplication throughout the day. It features a user-friendly twist-up mechanism that allows me to dispense the product easily, along with a secure lid ( alittle too tight for my likes ) that helps keep the stick covered when not in use.

[ Review ] IAC-labo Rice Mask

 

Product Description

IAC-labo Rice Mask is a facial sheet mask formulated with four types of 100% domestically sourced rice. Its rice fermentation solution helps prevent rough skin, leaving the complexion feeling fresh and looking radiant. Ceramide helps maintain skin hydration and support the skin’s moisture barrier, keeping the skin moisturised and balanced.

I purchased several Japanese facial sheet masks during my trip to Hokkaido, including the Lululun Hokkaido Milk Mask, Lululun Hokkaido Premium Face Mask Sheet Honey and Lululun Hokkaido Melon Face Mask. The IAC-labo Rice Mask was another addition to my skincare haul.

Featuring rice-derived ingredients, this Japanese sheet mask is designed to help keep the skin moisturised, smooth and radiant. With rice ferment filtrate, rice bran extract, rice bran oil and rice ceramide among its highlighted ingredients, it offers a simple way to incorporate rice-based skincare into my routine.

[ Review ] PDC Wafood Made Sake Lees Fermented Rice Pack

 

Product Description

pdc Wafood Made Sake Lees Face Pack is a facial pack featuring Japanese Sake lees extract to make your skin nourished, clear and smooth. Sake lees (or Sake kasu in Japanese) is the remaining yeast from sake fermentation. 

WHERE TO BUY : Yesstyle | Shopee SG

I purchased the PDC Wafood Made Sake Lees Fermented Rice Pack from Don Don Donki some time ago, and it has become one of the face packs I reach for whenever my skin looks dull or needs a little exfoliation. The 170g pack lasted me quite a while, making it a relatively value-for-money addition to my skincare routine.

My recent mask pack empties were PDC Wafood Made Uji Matcha Pack and Lindsay Modeling Mask Cup Pack.

What drew me to this Japanese skincare product was its use of sake lees, a traditional by-product of sake brewing, combined with a distinctive rice-like texture. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

PDC Wafood Made Sake Lees Fermented Rice Pack comes in a soft, squeezable pouch with a plastic nozzle for convenient dispensing. The packaging makes it easy to squeeze out the desired amount without having to scoop the product from a jar.
