Revitalizing Q10 Mask features a high concentration of firming coenzyme Q10, combined with moisturizing polyglutamic acid, to plump and smooth your complexion. Beneficial botanicals include willow extract, for aiding environmentally stressed skin, and rosewater, which helps tighten skin and imparts a natural relaxing scent
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant that occurs naturally within the body, helps your skin protect and defend itself from the visible signs of aging. Over time, your personal levels of CoQ10 diminish, resulting in a lessened ability to produce collagen, elastin, and other important dermal molecules—leaving skin susceptible to damaging free radicals.
I bought a box when I was in Japan, it consist of 4 sheets in it. Individually packed, the sheet is thin and just about moist. Not exactly soaked in essence. Hence, it dries up pretty fast, within 15mins. If I had it layered on for more than 15minutes, my skin would feel abit tight after removing the mask, probably because it had start to suck up the moisture from my skin instead.
And because its not that moist, it does not adhere to my skin that securely. I do not feel that my skin is thoroughly hydrated. It has a eye flap which can be quite soothing when you laid on the bed, resting with the mask on.
My skin did feel softer and smoother, seems almost firmer. But the effects are not lasting.
Each sheet contains 12ml essence enriched with Coenzyme Q10 essence.
Other benefits :
Gamma-Polyglutamic Acid : to strengthen natural defense of skin.
Hyaluronic Acid : to moisturize skin.
Aloe essence : repair skin and olive leaves essence soothes skin.
Rose Centifolia Flower Water : tightens skin and nourish your soul.
With that in mind, I was expecting more from the mask but it did not deliver as much as what the ingredients should. When I had 2 masks on 2 consecutive days, I developed some tiny red bumps on the right cheek which I thought perhaps it may be too rich, after a week of skipping the mask, the tiny red bumps were gone.
Ingredients :
Water, butylene glycol, diglycerin, salix alba (willow) bark extract, rosa centifolia flower water, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, phenoxyethanol, serine, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil PCA isostearate, sodium gamma-polyglutamate, ubiquinone, sodium hyaluronate, biotin, olea europaea (olive) leaf extract, cyanocobalamin.

Hi Agnes
i have been a reader of your blog for sometimes and thanks for your review.
was checking your foundie post and may i ask comparing Stila illuminating LF vs Dior nude, which one you like better? :)
PS: I use dermalogica products too, hehe! not bad right, i think their dermalogica renewal booster is the best :)
thanks and love you lots
Audrey
Hi Audrey,
Thanks for your readership. Glad that you like dermalogica products. I have not tried out renewal booster yet. :)
Just my personal opinion :
Stila Illuminating LF has fine shimmers and I think it would look good for those with good skin as the coverage is pretty light and the shimmers may incidentally bring attention to the wrong areas of imperfect skin.
Dior nude is more hydrating than the Stila one and has slightly higher coverage than Stila though it cannot cover bad blemishes, just light blemishes.
For now, I prefer Dior Nude. The skin may look even better with their loose powder though I have yet to buy. Go check it out at Dior counter and have them do a mini makeover on your skin.
Cheers.
Thanks Agnes, sure points noted. i will go check out Dior counter :) I like to use your recommended Dior nude too :))
have fun and good days ahead
Audrey
