I received 1 x 0.4ml SKII Overnight Miracle Mask capsule together with other masks in Tangs Beauty Box purchase some time back. 1 capsule is supposed to be for 1 time use but I thought the quantity is too much and heavy for my skin so I spread it to a week's usage.

Formulated without parabens, sulphates and phthalates, SKII Overnight Miracle Mask is also Allure Best of Beauty award winner.

A recent study done by Japanese brand SK-II discovered that sleeping for five hours or less for three nights consecutively can cause 13 times more water loss, as compared to having more than five hours of sleep. This not only causes dryness but also leads to a rough, dull and uneven complexion which lead to the birth of SKII Overnight Miracle Mask.

The formula is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals to condition skin and intensely hydrate so you wake up to soft, smooth and glowing skin that looks well-rested regardless of how much rest you received.

When I first read that its an overnight mask, I immediately use it as the last step of my skincare regime like other overnight masks but the texture was too heavy and I switched methods of using it, only to realize much later that its supposed to be used on its own, without any other additional steps.

Texture of SKII Overnight Miracle Mask


I didn't quite fancy the scent initially but has grown accustomed to it. The overnight mask has a thick gel-like texture which applies well, if I just use a tiny amount, but if I had followed the instruction of using the full capsule, it would be too much for my combination skin type.

Cosrx Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner + Be Plain Cicaful Ampoule + SKII Overnight Miracle Mask : A pimple sprouted by the 2nd night, followed by another 2 pimples on the 3rd night on the chin. Note that I have no issue in using Be Plain Cicaful Ampoule with Biotherm Life Plankton Mask.

Cosrx Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner + The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2%+B5 + SKII Overnight Miracle Mask : The combination paired well without any breakouts although I did not see any difference to skin.

SKII Overnight Miracle Mask alone : I love the effect, if I use it after Andalou Naturals Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask. Skin is soft and supple which lasted till the following morning. It hydrates sufficiently well even when I am sleeping in an air-conditioned room but unfortunately, a large angry zit appeared on my nose the following morning.

To conclude, the miracle mask is slightly rich for my skin type leading to frequent breakouts. I also didn't see any amazing results or differences to skin, to justify for the high price. That said, I did not follow the instruction of using the whole capsule at one sitting so the result may not be fair.

Do note that the retail pack comes with 6 capsules for 6 single uses.
