Formulated with Korean medicinal herbs, this overnight mask awakens a radiant looking skin with nourishing moisture and herbal extracts. Acute lobed Angelica and Pomegranate help brighten skin tone and Walnut and White Mulberry restore skin's vitality by delivering essential nutrients. Creating an essential moisture layer on the skin, this mask assures optimum penetration of nourishing herbs while you rest.
I am late. Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask has since been updated to the Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask EX version by the time I used up this product. However, you can still get the original version on Amazon. I took a long time with the product, because I was not sure if I really like the mask. Sometimes it performs, sometimes it does not. So to be fair, I kept using it and pairing with other products to determine its effectiveness.
I first starting using overnight masks back in 2012 when the highly raved Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX came to the scene, which essentially meant the same thing as the overnight mask. Since then, more and more brands are jumping on the wagon on sleeping masks, overnight masks, etc.
You can read my reviews on For Beloved One Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly, Etude House Moonlight In Spoon Blending Sleeping Cream, Naruko Raw Jobs Tears Brightening Night Gelly, Biotherm Aquasource Nuit High Density Hydrating Jelly and Naruko Apple Seed and Tranexamic Acid Soothing White Night Gelly.
What sets Sulwhasoo apart from the rest, is its inclusion of Korean herbs into all their formulation so its brand has always been on my radar. I have used a number of Sulwhasoo products since 2014 from the non-ex version to the ex version. You can check out Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion Intense, Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum EX, Sulwhasoo Essential Balancing Water EX, Sulwhasoo Balancing Emulsion EX and Sulwhasoo Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream EX.
Reasonably priced for a 120ml size, Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask, as the name implies, is to be used as the last step of your skincare regime, just before you sleep so that the skin is nourished with herbs while you are resting.
It is packaged in a bright dark orange tube ( think : lacquered wood ) with a plastic cap that falls in between cheap and luxe impression. It is easy to depress on the tube, while dispensing just enough contents for the face.
The overnight vitalizing mask has a herbal scent which I absolutely adore, after a tired day. Its seemingly thick and creamy mask is just an illusion as it spreads easily to be absorbed into the skin, without an after greasiness so there is no worry about creating any mess on your pillow.
When I first started on the product, it didn't make a marked impression on its own. I tend to like using a new product on its own ( if I did not buy it in a set ) in the initial stages, to check its effectiveness or compatibility on my skin. So for this mask, it just did not deliver its purported benefits then. I was more than a little disappointed, coming from Sulwhasoo, which I like, as a brand.
There was no glowy effect or smooth skin tone. There was no added hydration to my skin. Zero benefits.
When I used it together with the Sulwhasoo series, as the last step after Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum EX, Sulwhasoo Essential Balancing Water EX, and Sulwhasoo Balancing Emulsion EX, it works perfectly. My skin was clearer, softer and smoother. An overall improved condition of my skin. I even love touching my skin just because its soooo smooth and baby soft. However, there was no visible brightening effect.
Next, I tried using Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask as a night time moisturiser, pairing up with other products, after finishing up the Sulwhasoo series. It works well but not fantastic. My skin is still dehydrated at times, so I would say, the mask does not really hydrate my skin exceptionally well. Then again, it was never meant to be used as moisturiser so I can't fault it.
In terms of ingredients, Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask has a pretty long list which includes plant extracts, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients. You can check out the ingredients on Cosdna, which states some potential irritants and acne flare-up possibility.
