[ Review ] : Skylake Elastic Dual Mask Pack

Product Description
This face and neck mask is infused with a high percentage of the patented Skylake oriental herbal extract with strong soothing and anti-irritating properties. Together with collagen, it calms, tightens the pores and instantly boosts the elasticity of your skin to unveil a firm, healthy, glowing skin.

Benefits 
1. Firms and lifts skin effectively.
2. Tightens pores, leaves skin moisturized and healthier looking.
3. Abundantly rich in herbal extracts and collagen.

Skylake Elastic Dual Mask Pack is the last variant of the Skylask facial mask sheets which I have tried. Skylake Herbal Mask Pack ( Brightening Care ) has been pretty effective on my skin while Skylake Oriental Mask Pack ( Relax For Trouble Skin ) was not bad too.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Skylake Elastic Dual Mask Pack comes in 5 individually packed sheets in a box. Each sheet has a soothing herbal scent that feels calming.

The material of the non-woven sheet mask is sturdy and of medium thickness with a good cutting for my cherubic face shape. Its a large mask which is suitable for large face shape.

Performance and Ingredients 

Unlike the other first 2 variants, Skylake Elastic Dual Mask Pack comes with an additional separate flap for the neck area.

Abundantly rich with herbal extracts and blend of collagen, the sheet mask is said to tighten pores, leave skin moisturized and healthier looking and is able to soothe and calm sensitive and irritation-prone skin effectively.

On my first use, there was a slight tightening effect which is what the mask description entails - calms and tightens the pores. Pores looked smaller although the effect did not last beyond the following morning. This tightening sensation continues even after removing the mask which was pretty odd - as though there was a horizontal tightening band across my 2 cheeks. It disappears after a while. There was no such tightening sensation from the second sheet mask onwards.

After every masking session, skin is left feeling very smooth, soft, supple with a subtle radiance. Makeup goes on smoothly. Definitely a great mask before a date.

The additional flap as the neck mask was rather redundant to me though, as it kept sliding off my neck and I have to keep holding and pressing on it throughout the masking duration.

In terms of ingredients, Skylake Elastic Dual Mask Pack uses the patented SKYLAKE oriental herbal extract to soothe, hydrate and empower skin’s natural healing abilities to renew its appearance.

It is made with 18 natural ingredients which are distilled in-house. The ingredients include cnidium and angelica root, which are said to be good for blood circulation and balance, poria cocos, which is known for its moisturizing and immune system aiding effect, chestnut, which supports oil control and pore contraction, mint and licorice, plum and kelp. These ingredients are known to discharge toxins and soothe, whiten and tighten the skin. At SKYLAKE this kind of water replaces the distilled water that other brands use.

According to research study here and here, Angelica Gigas Extract and Angelica Dahurica Root Extract have exhibited great whitening capabilities while Artemisia Absinthium Extract ( also known as Mugwort ) has soothing and inflammatory properties for skin. Another study has demonstrated that Cnidum Officinale Root Extract has antioxidant benefits which help to fight against free radicals.

Conclusion

To conclude, while I do love the Hanbang ingredients and the effectiveness from using Skylake Elastic Dual Mask Pack, the tightening sensation on my first use was rather unsettling.

If I have to choose among all the 3 mask packs, my vote goes to Skylake Herbal Mask Pack ( Brightening Care ).
