Product Description
Primera Seed and Sprout Energy Mask with deep-hydrating lotus flower seed extracts leave the skin moisturized as if it is coated with a film of moisture, while the Natural CureplexTM with the germinated sprouts soothes and rejuvenates the skin.
There was a 2 boxes for 2 boxes promotion at Aritaum Korea and I ended up with 4 boxes of similar sheet masks. I gave away 2 boxes to my friends as Christmas gifts and left the other 2 boxes for myself.
Hailing from Korea, Primera is one of the beauty brands under Amore Pacific alongside Laniege, Innisfree, Etude House and others.
Combining the words "prime" and "era," Primera is an eco-oriented cosmetic brand that collects and delivers the energy released from plants directly to the skin. It pursues clean beauty life where people and nature are all healthy and happy, strives to evolve into an actively ‘clean beauty brand’ that communicates with nature and society, not just a simple ‘clean’ brand that excludes certain harmful substances from its products.
Primera creates products and conducts brand activities with the philosophy of delivering beautiful vitality to customers and protecting nature to be healthy by making good products that provide the best benefits without harming nature, while identifying safe and reliable ingredients based on its research into some 500 types of seeds throughout the world.
Its environment-conscious values ensure that all its products do not contain parabens, synthetic pigments, artificial fragrances and only a minimum amount of artificial chemical ingredients. The products are packaged in mostly FSC-certified paper and with natural soy ink as part of the brand's earth-friendly practices.
Primera has 4 variants in their facial sheet mask range where each set is powered by super ingredients such as milk thistle to brighten and soothe; lotus for hydration and resilience; sugar apple to strengthen skin barrier; and linseed to purify.
Each ingredient is boosted by Primera's Natural Cureplex™, made from the extracts of Korean germinated black beans, black rice, heartleaf houttuynia and Artemisia argyi sprouts that deliver antioxidants to skin.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Each box of Primera Seed and Sprout Energy Mask ( Lotus ) contains 5 sheet masks which are individually packed. Soaked in 100% natural floral fragrance for a relaxing and calm experience, I personally think that the fragrance is rather strong, unique and may not suit everyone.
Because it is made of bleach-free pure cotton sheets, making them extra soft on skin, the colour is not pure white but off-white colour of cotton with subtle naturally occurring flecks as well as the lotus flower seeds which vaguely reminded me of May Coop Raw Sheet Mask.
The material is soft and comfortable with medium thickness. The cutting adheres well but has a slightly shorter nose flap.
How To Use :
1) After cleansing and toning, open package and unfold mask.
2) Apply remaining essence in package to neck and shoulders.
3) Leave on for 15-20 minutes.
4) Remove mask, then tap remaining essence into skin for complete absorption.
Performance and Ingredients
Primera Seed and Sprout Energy Mask is made of organic cotton mask which is unbleached, hence noticeably softer and safer than bleached masks. Indeed, the sheet mask is soft and comfortable on skin but the scent was rather too strong for my likes.
Initially, I can't really tell the effectiveness of the mask as it felt rather ordinary and there is no difference to my skin after using. The difference was more obvious after I used them for a 3 consecutive days and noticed my skin was more hydrated and calmed.
15 minutes masking session was more suitable for my skin type as leaving this Seed and Sprout Energy Mask on my face for 20 minutes left a subtle taut sensation on the upper lips area.
In terms of ingredients, the extracts from lotus flower seeds, the intense hydrating agent, form a protective, watery barrier around the skin that locks in moisture while Natural Cureplex containing sprout extracts calms irritated skin and restores vitality.
The natural CureplexTM contains domestic, eco-friendly certified agricultural ingredients--black beans, black rice, houtturynia, and Artemisia Herb (mugwort); the extracts from the eco-certified ingredients deliver vigorous sprout energy directly to skin.
Unfortunately, the full list of ingredients is stated in Korean but you can find the English version on Skincarisma although I cannot ascertain if its the same as mine.
