Elucidate has reached out to me for a collaboration recently. Based in Singapore, Elucidate is an online beauty store with the mission of making skincare affordable for Singaporeans. They carry popular brands like Laneige, Cosrx, Klairs, Tosowoong, etc You can check out all the products here.
Hailing from Korea, Tosowoong started creating beauty products using badger oil as their main ingredient and gradually, they started incorporating other natural components and functional properties to their roster to create some of Korea's favorite beauty items. Specially formulated for skincare that is less than perfect, Tosowoong leverages special hero ingredients from nature such as blueberry, propolis, green tea for maximum impact. You can read more about their brand story here.
The mask range contains 6 variants :
Propolis - Improves skin elasticity.
Snail - Provides nourishing and soothing effect.
Green Tea - Protects skin from external harmful factors and provides soothing effect.
Blueberry - Boosts skin radiance.
Aloe - Hydration and Elasticity.
Deep Ocean Water - Hydrates and promotes skin elasticity.
Tosowoong Pure Green Tea Mask Pack contained a subtle green tea fragrance which lingered throughout the masking session. The mask material had a moderate thickness to it, with a textured slippery surface. It was totally soaked with 25g of essence and was very wet but not to the point of being a dripping mess.
The cutting of the mask can be considered wide and hence gave rise to excess "cloth" at chin and right jaw area. The eye cutouts were large, akin to lopsided long oval shapes and there was a slight gap between nose and cheeks which is pretty common for most sheet masks.
After a 20 minutes masking session, I am pleased to see that my skin appeared calmed and was smooth and supple with smaller pores. However, there was no brightening effect. The upper lips area felt alittle taut though.

In terms of ingredients, Tosowoong Pure Green Tea Mask Pack contains the following key ingredients :
Niacinamide : Also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinamide, niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural substances in your skin to help visibly improve enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness and a weakened surface. Niacinamide also reduces the impact of environmental damage because of its ability to improve skin’s barrier (its first line of defense), plus it also plays a role in helping skin to repair signs of past damage.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract : Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is an extract of the leaves of the Tea, Camellia sinensis, Theaceae, commonly known as the green tea extract. It shows good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. There is a proven study demonstrating that green tea-containing cosmetic formulations have pronounced moisturizing effects and improve skin microrelief.
Tosowoong Pure Propolis Mask Pack had the same semi-thickness and slippery mask material which was soaked with 25g of essence. The honey fragrance came across as pretty strong which reminded me of the delicious Manuka Honey.
It had a similar wide cutting with excess "cloth" at the same areas - chin and right jaw with large lopsided eye cutouts and a slight gap between nose and cheeks.
The masking session was very relaxing and refreshingly cool throughout the 20 minutes. I really enjoyed the session and my skin was brimming with moisture once the mask was removed, although there was a slight tautness on my upper lips area. My skin was hydrated, very soft, smooth and had a subtle brightening glow.
In terms of ingredients, Tosowoong Pure Propolis Mask Pack contains the following key ingredients :

Propolis Extract : The resin-like substance is made by bees and mainly used to fill in honeycomb crevices for protection. Bees collect tree sap and combine it with beeswax to make propolis, which beekeepers then scrape away from the hive boxes. Propolis will assist in balancing, healing and soothing problematic skin. It also accelerates the rate of cell growth and decongests pores. Propolis protects against bacteria and functions as a great anti-inflammatory agent.
To conclude, Tosowoong's masks are pretty decent with affordable prices. If you are on a budget, they are definitely worth trying to give you better skin, without hurting your pockets. If you have to choose between Green Tea and Propolis then I highly recommend Propolis!
