Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Gel Masque Pomegranate Extract, Peptide Complex is a lightweight Peptide-rich gel masque that is highly effective in combating signs of aging and increasing skin elasticity while hydrating, firming and nourishing facial skin. Formulated with gentle cooling actives, this masque is perfect for sensitive facial skin.
On a quest to add in more peptides into my skincare routine, I purchased Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Gel Masque together with my all-time favourite cleanser - Grown Alchemist Hydra Restore Cream Cleanser some time back.
Peptides are the foundations of our skin and are responsible for its texture, strength and resilience. Without peptides, our skin is less intact which can lead to a loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, a change in texture and less 'bounce'.

Performance and Ingredients

Australian made and 100% vegan, Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Gel Masque contains certified organic ingredients and is cruelty-free and toxin-free. It is free of Petrochemicals, Nitrosamine Releasers, DEAs, TEAs, Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Paraffins, artificial colours and fragrances.
Target signs of ageing with Grown Alchemist’s lightweight gel masque, designed to promote a hydrated, firmer-looking surface. It can be used on sensitive skin types and has a cooling, soothing effect thanks to added actives.
It’s made using Polysaccharide complex active ingredients and Peptides to support normal collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It also promotes a more even tone, enhancing natural radiance while Hyaluronic Acid locks in moisture for a softer, smoother finish.
Finally, polyphenol-rich Pomegranate helps to minimise the look of oxidative damage.
This is an easy-to-use rinse-off mask which glides on well, goes on smooth and dries down gradually. It contains cooling, refreshing and calming properties that helped to soothe and minimize redness and irritation.
The effectiveness was proven on a day when I experienced random red scaly patches on my right cheek and beside the nose and after 15 minutes of masking, the patch was greatly soothed and much hydrated.
May and June are the hottest months in Singapore and I appreciate slathering this masque on my skin for that oh-so-cooling sensation.
I also like that the mask can be used both on the face and eye area so it can double up as an eye mask too.
That said, I haven't noticed a significant difference in the firming effects on my face. Adding on, its not the easiest to rinse off due to the gloopy-like texture so more water was required for a clean rinse, hence I prefer to use it as an in-shower routine for an easier wash.
The key ingredients are....
Polysaccharide Complex : Reduces the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone and radiance.
Hyaluronic Acid : Enhances ensures maximum hydration and visible elasticity levels are retained, leaving skin looking luminous, supple and smooth.
Pomegranate : Rich in potent Polyphenols, firms and smooths the appearance of facial skin damaged by oxidative stress.

Conclusion
To conclude, Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Gel Masque was a nice rinse-off mask, with promising ingredients. While I haven't experienced any anti-aging effects to date, it did provide an instantaneous soothing and hydrating effect when my skin acts up. Definitely a reliable mask on emergency days.
