Product Description
Naruko Magnolia Brightening and Firming Mask provides the ultimate whitening and firming ingredients that penetrate into the skin. It concentrates on three major effects: anti-glycation, antioxidizing, and whitening. It can significantly reduce the formation of melanin and help to moisturize, whiten, soothe and firm skin. In addition, the moisturizing ingredients in the mask help to replenish the loss of water in your skin (a natural effect of aging).
With each sheet containing 30ml essence, you can imagine how soaked the masks are, when I pulled it out from its packaging. The material of the sheet mask is made with an exclusive 3D cutting method to promote the "apply, firm and tighten" stages. ( If you are familiar with Lovemore masks, its similar to that. ) The ultra-fine emulsion coating technology can help the serum penetrate deep into the skin, helping to achieve an anti-aging, brightening and firming effect.
Key Ingredients :
Plantain Extract - get rid of skin's dullness
Magnolia Dew, Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid - brighten, clarify and firm skin
Golden Rod Extract, Hydrolyzed Hibiscus Esculentus Extact, Argania Spinosa Extract - smooth fine lines, revitalize, brighten and reduce signs of aging
Each box of 10 masks retails for $29.90 in Watsons but there is a current online promotion of $19.90 from Naruko. I bought the hydrating and this box of brightening masks for just $29.90 back in June. The hydrating masks had been a major disappointment so I did not have high hopes for this box of brightening masks.
I had since used up all 10 sheets within the last 3 weeks, and the recommended 15 minutes to 20 minutes for the treatment can not be followed because it left the skin feeling taut and dry. My personal recommended duration is 10 minutes where it left the skin feeling just right. Anything more, its a no-no.
I disliked 3D cutting masks because of the tightness since the flaps has to be pulled back all the way to the ears. The gap near the nose is another irritant since the essence cannot reach that area when the flaps were being pulled back to behind the ears. However, the firming effect is done via this pulling method so thats how the mask is supposed to behave.
The performance is medicore.
- skin is slightly brighter
- firming effects cannot be represented as I am blessed with firmed skin currently
- soothed skin can be only be done within 10 minutes and not more.
- not exactly a hydrating mask as the hydrating level is not high
The key ingredients such as Magnolia Dew, Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid for brightening and firming skin are found mainly at the bottom of the list. Phenoxyethanol, a preservative, is the 8th ingredient which I rather have it at the bottom of the list.
