Su:m37 Bright Award D-Purifying Clay Sheet Mask is a clay mask that contains Pure Glacial Marine Clay that piled up for thousands of years at the clean region in Canada. This offers 3D corset brightening effect since the clay sheet solidifies after tightening when it gets adhered to the skin. Moreover, this is a D-Purifying mask that takes care of the skin to turn it clear and clean, protecting the skin against the harmful environment and that takes care of the pores and controls sebum.
Su:m37˚ is the first and only brand to start and persist in the study of natural fermentation, in its very own Natural Fermentation Research Institute (NFRI) located in Gangwon-do. It is an area without large-scale commercial facilities within 10km radius, boasting of clean water and air.
Every season, more than 80 types of seasonal plants are gathered, fermented and aged in cedar barrels, under stringent conditions and optimum temperature (of 37 ˚C) and humidity for at least 365 days.
The essence derived from this natural fermentation process is Cytosis®, a hidden secret in every sum:37˚ product. It enhances the natural healing power of the skin without the need to add on any preservatives nor artificial colour and fragrance, and produces products that are hypoallergenic and safe for most skin types.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
I purchased a box of 10 x Su:m37 Bright Award D-Purifying Clay Sheet Mask from Tangs some time back. All 10 sheets are individually packed, with each sheet mask protected between 2 layers of protective layering - one side with transparent film and the other side with a plastic-like cover.
It has a subtle calming scent which I enjoyed and the mask consists of 2 portion - one for the upper part of the face and the other portion is for the lower part of the face. The material of the sheet mask is very soft with a clay-like feel. It is simply a clay mask but in sheet form.
Performance
Hailing from Korea, Su:m37 Bright Award D-Purifying Clay Sheet Mask comes from their signature Bright Award/ White Award brightening line, which is formulated with Cytosis and N-AAPS (N-Acetyl Phytophingosine), an ingredient derived from yeast exclusively from Su:m37 that's been proven to inhibit and treat excess production of melanin as well as to improve skin inflammation issues as demonstrated in this research study.
Bright Award series refer to rinse off products while White Award series refer to leave-on products. You can check out the range of products here. Someone on Reddit has kindly explained all the different products in this thread.
Once layered on the skin, the sheet mask slowly dries up with a tightening effect, like how a clay mask should be. And the performance of all 10 sheet masks have been nothing short of amazing!
My skin is left feeling soft and smooth as well as being clear, bright and fresh after every masking session. Pores looked much smaller and blackheads were less obvious.
Do note that, there was once when my skin peeled slightly at the nostrils and at the sides of my nose, where the broken capillaries were, turned red after I layered it for more than 20 minutes. So for those with sensitive skin, its best to stick to the recommended timing.
That aside, I have to add on that, it needs more water than norm to cleanse all the mask remnants off as it tends to stick closely to skin.
How To Use :
1. After cleansing, clean the skin with toner.
2. Open the mask sheet, remove the transparency film first, and stick it to the face. (It consists of top mask and bottom mask.)
3. After 20 minutes, if the skin feels tightened and the sheet dries, gently remove the sheet. (※ The time may vary depending on the surrounding environment or skin condition.)
4. Wipe out any residue with mild water and finish with basic skin care.
Ingredients
The key ingredient is Pure Glacial Marine Clay which, according to this research study, promotes skin hydration, increases collagen fibres leading to a reduction of wrinkles and improve skin firmness.
Unfortunately, there is no ingredient list in English. If someone can kindly decipher it to English, I would be most grateful.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a brightening mask coupled with deep cleansing needs, then Su:m37 Bright Award D-Purifying Clay Sheet Mask may be the one for you!
