[ Review ] Lululun Hokkaido Premium Face Mask Sheet Honey

 

Lululun Hokkaido Premium Face Mask Sheet Honey Review

Product Description
Lululun Hokkaido Premium Face Mask Sheet Honey is made from bodaijyu (菩提樹) flower honey for deep moisturization.

Benefits :
Moisturizing and Firming Effect
Suitable for dry and mature skin

WHERE TO BUY : Shopee | Shopee B

Lululun is the number 1 face mask brand with over 1 billion sheets sold in Japan so it was natural that I would pick up some of the sheet masks while holidaying in Hokkaido, Japan last month. 

I purchased a box of 5 sheets and gifted some away, leaving just 2 sheets for myself. I regretted not buying more because I ended up loving this sheet mask! In fact, I found it worked much better for my skin than the Hokkaido Milk Mask.

[ Review ] Lululun Hokkaido Milk Mask

 

Product Description
Hokkaido Limited Edition LuLuLun face masks deliver deep nourishment using carefully selected natural ingredients from the vast lands of Hokkaido. Designed for daily use, these masks help you achieve soft, hydrated, and healthy-looking skin every day.

Ever since returning from my trip to Hokkaido, I've come home with another stash of Japanese sheet masks to try. Although I used to be an avid sheet mask user, I significantly reduced my usage over the past 3 years, preferring rinse-off masks instead. I find rinse-off masks more economical and effective with consistent use, but they aren't always practical when I need a quick skincare boost or when I'm travelling.

There are times when my skin looks dull, tired, and dehydrated, and that's when a good hydrating sheet mask really shines. In just 10 to 15 minutes, it can instantly refresh the complexion and leave the skin looking healthier and more radiant. These days, I mainly use sheet masks as an occasional treatment alongside my regular rinse-off masks.

When travelling, however, sheet masks become an essential part of my skincare routine. Between long flights, changing climates, and busy sightseeing days, I rely on both rinse-off masks and sheet masks to keep my skin hydrated, comfortable, and glowing.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Lululun Hokkaido Milk Mask comes in a convenient resealable pouch containing seven sheet masks. The masks are neatly folded and stacked together, making it easy to remove one at a time without creating a mess. The resealable packaging also helps keep the remaining masks fresh and prevents the essence from drying out.

The sheet mask has a subtle milky fragrance that is light and pleasant without being overpowering.

[ Review ] Galactomyces Face Mask

 
Galactomyces Face Mask Review


Product Description
Galactomyces Face Mask hydrates the skin with naturally derived moisturizing ingredients leading to a dewy complexion. 

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate has become one of the most sought-after fermented skincare ingredients in recent years. Rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, this yeast-derived ferment is known for helping to improve skin hydration, brighten dull complexions, refine the appearance of pores and strengthen the skin barrier.

As someone who enjoys trying skincare products with fermented ingredients, I couldn't resist picking up this Galactomyces sheet mask during a 2-for-1 promotion ( choose between a few variants ) at Don Don Donki in Singapore. Despite its minimalist packaging and unfamiliar brand, the ingredient list looked surprisingly promising, so I decided to give it a try.

Interestingly, I couldn't find much information or reviews about this mask online, making it feel like a hidden gem. With no expectations, I started using it as my daily sheet mask before my trip to Japan, and it quickly became one of my favourite discoveries.

[ Review ] Pixi Rose Remedy Mask

 
Review for Pixi Rose Remedy Mask
Product Description
Reset your skin with this ultra-nourishing jelly mask that leaves your complexion feeling soft, smooth and comforted. With antioxidant-rich Turmeric, soothing Cica and a Botanical Oil Blend, this refreshing Pixi Rose Remedy Mask tones and hydrates in one step. Perfect as a weekly treat or post-cleansing boost. 

WHERE TO BUY : Iherb

I purchased Pixi Rose Remedy Mask during a Sephora sale, hoping for a soothing and hydrating treatment for my skin. Unfortunately, this rinse-off mask turned out to be quite underwhelming which was disappointing, considering that I had a good experience with Pixi Glow Tonic and a decent experience with Pixi Beauty Peel and Polish Resurfacing Concentrate several years ago. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Pixi Rose Remedy Mask Review


Pixi Rose Remedy Mask comes in a generous 300ml jar, making it a sizeable addition to any skincare collection. The packaging is attractive and practical, featuring a spatula that conveniently slots into the side of the jar (won't get lost), along with an inner lid to help keep the product fresh and hygienic.

PDC Wafood Made Uji Matcha Wash Off Mask Review

3) Leave for 5-10 minutes and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Tip : Recommended to use 2-3 times a week.

WHERE TO BUY : Shopee SG

I picked up the PDC Wafood Made Uji Matcha Wash Off Mask during a sale at Don Don Donki and if you've been eyeing this popular Japanese skincare mask, here's everything you need to know before buying.

Packaging and First Impressions

The mask comes in a generous 170g flexible squeeze pack, making it easy to dispense just the right amount of product without any mess. The made-in-Japan formulation immediately signals quality, and the subtle matcha fragrance makes every application feel like a mini spa moment.

Texture and Application Experience

PDC Wafood Made Uji Matcha Wash Off Mask Texture


The creamy, gel-like texture glides onto the skin effortlessly and smoothly, delivering an instant cooling, refreshing, and comforting sensation on contact. If you enjoy a sensorial skincare experience, this mask delivers exactly that.

Performance and Results

I leave it on for 10 minutes, which works well for my skin type. However, a few things worth noting for different skin concerns:
  • Dry or dehydrated skin types - On low-hydration days, my skin felt slightly taut from application through to rinse-off. I'd strongly recommend layering a hydrating sheet mask immediately after to replenish moisture levels.
  • Hand sensitivity - My hands felt noticeably dry during application and rinsing, so those with sensitive or dry hands may want to keep that in mind.
  • Post-rinse feel - The skin feels slightly dry immediately after washing off, but settles well once followed up with the rest of your skincare routine.

The key ingredients are...

Licorice extract : Makes skin healthy and smooth
Job's tears fermented extract : Fills every corner of the stratum corneum with moisture, for fine-textured skin
Soybean fermented extract : Highly moisturizing, gives skin firmness

Overall, despite the kinks, my skin looks and feels softer, smoother, and clearer, with visibly more refined pores after use.

Best for: Normal to oily skin types, or dehydrated skin when paired with a hydrating mask. 

If you like rinse-off masks, here are some of my favourites....

[ Review ] Sigi Skin Tea-Tox Sheet Mask

 
Sigi Skin Tea-Tox Sheet Mask Review
Product Description
Sigi Skin Tea-Tox Sheet Mask is a miracle worker that helps brighten and heal the skin; eliminating any redness and irritation. This silky sheet contains a powerful concoction of 20% probiotics, cold pressed yuzu extracts, kombucha and sake extracts. 
This cocktail recipe was formulated to restore skin’s microbiome and luminosity, especially against pollution and environmental stressors that cause unwanted free radical damage. 

Benefits :
Soothes Skin - Heals skin by eliminating redness and irritation
Minimize Pores - Shrinks blackheads and open pores
Antiaging - Firms skin and reduces wrinkles

Key Ingredients : 

• 20% Lactobacillus Ferment (Probiotics) - It helps to strengthen skin’s natural defense against sensitivity, provides instant relief and also helps reduce redness over time. It also has a potent soothing effect that greatly helps calm irritated and sensitised skin.

• Yuzu Extracts - Filled with Vitamin C and anti-oxidants, this helps to brighten and stimulate collagen production. Also helps to clear free radical damage incurred during the day. It also exhibits high anti-glycation activities. Glycation contributes to aging due to excess consumption of sugars. Excess sugars that float in our bloodstream bind to proteins. This, in turn, creates advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that ruin the structure and function of these fibres in our body. Unfortunately, these processes also affect collagen and elastin, proteins responsible for our plump complexion. Excess sugar weakens our skin cell's structure, making it more prone to wrinkles and deeper smile lines.

• Kombucha - Helps to improve skin barrier function and skin health. Contains vitamins B1, B6, B12, and vitamin C - vital antioxidants that support cellular function and oxidative damage repair, helping to maintain skin elasticity and barrier function.

• Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate - This star ingredient helps to reduce hyperpigmentation, shrink pore size, and also helps to protect the skin from water loss and UV damage.


Where To Buy : Shopee

I purchased two boxes of the Sigi Skin sheet masks as part of a bundle with other Sigi Skin products at a slightly better value. While the original retail price leans towards the premium range, I was expecting visible results that justify the cost. 

[ Review ] Transino Whitening Facial Mask EX

 
Transino Whitening Facial Mask EX Review

Product Description
Transino Whitening Facial Mask EX is a skin brightening mask that works in just 10 minutes. It contains the whitening active ingredient "tranexamic acid" that blocks information on blemishes and "glycyrrhizic acid 2K" that suppresses inflammation. These two active ingredients provide a dual approach to UV damage. Each sheet contains whitening ingredients equivalent to approximately 65 times of a beauty essence. The mask also contains stratum corneum refining ingredient EX that approaches moisture and texture for immediate brightening. It also includes "seracute®" for firmness on the skin surface and "pump-up hyaluronic acid" to plump up the skin from the inside. The product uses thick, multifunctional microfiber sheets with a "tank & release function" that allows for slow and concentrated care. It is a gentle skin formulation that is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and colorant-free.

WHERE TO BUY : Yesstyle | Shopee

I first came across Transino Whitening Facial Mask EX when it was recommended by Simplytokyo, and of course, that instantly piqued my interest. When I spotted it on sale at Welcia SG, I decided it was the perfect time to give this Japanese brightening sheet mask a try.

Brightening masks are great for use when my skin looks dull, uneven, or tired from long workdays. I prefer formulas that can help boost radiance, improve clarity, and support a more even-looking complexion without feeling heavy or irritating.

TRANSINO is a premium Japanese brightening skincare brand developed by Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare, a company backed by strong pharmaceutical expertise and research. Known for its targeted anti-spot and melasma care, the brand focuses on scientifically proven formulations designed to address dark spots, freckles, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone.

At the heart of TRANSINO’s range is tranexamic acid, a clinically studied ingredient widely used in Japan to help improve the appearance of melasma and stubborn discoloration. The brand offers both oral and topical brightening solutions, positioning itself as a comprehensive “inside-out” approach to clearer, more radiant-looking skin.

[ Review ] Pyunkang Yul Highly Moisturizing Essence Mask Pack

 
Pyunkang Yul Highly Moisturizing Essence Mask Pack Review

Product Description
Boost skin’s moisture levels with Pyunkang Yul Highly Moisturizing Essence Mask Pack infused with an essence made of herbal extracts, five kinds of hyaluronic acid and ceramide.

While I’ve largely stepped away from facial sheet masks due to sustainability concerns, there are moments when my skin simply needs fast, intensive hydration that rinse-off masks can’t quite deliver overnight. That was when I stumbled upon Pyunkang Yul Highly Moisturizing Essence Mask Pack on Shopee and added it to my cart since I had a positive experience with Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner

Packaging, Scent and Texture

The Pyunkang Yul Highly Moisturizing Essence Mask Pack comes in a box of 10 individually sealed sheet masks, making it hygienic and convenient for both home use and travel. Each mask is well-saturated without excess runoff, allowing for easy application without creating a messy, dripping experience.

True to Pyunkang Yul’s minimalist skincare philosophy, this hydrating sheet mask is free from added fragrance, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. The absence of scent also reduces the risk of irritation, which is especially important for compromised or dehydrated skin barriers.

[ Review ] Lululun Pure Pink Toner Mask

 

Lululun Pure Pink Toner Mask Review
Product Description
Lululun Pure Pink Moist Mask is enriched with cacao extract for skin softening. Infused with intelligent sensor capsules to detect and care for rough skin. Prevents dryness and rough skin, promoting overall skin health. Its alcohol free, additive free, chemical free, colour free, fragrance free, mineral oil free, allergy tested and patch tested.

I purchased 2 packs of Lululun Pure Pink Toner Mask during a sale in Watsons. and as expected from a made-in-Japan daily sheet mask, the packaging is simple, functional, and designed for convenience. 

Each resealable pouch contains 7 toner-infused sheets stacked together, making it ideal for everyday use without the fuss of opening individual sachets. The closure seals well, helping to keep the masks moist and preventing the essence from drying out too quickly.

Lululun Pure Pink Toner Mask Texture


The masks themselves are thin, well-soaked and lightweight, offering that refreshing slip you’d want from a toner-style mask. However, the cutting can be a little inconsistent: some sheets have larger eye openings, while others come with a narrower philtrum area, which may affect the fit for different face shapes.

[ Review ] Lindsay Modeling Mask Cup Pack

 
Lindsay Modeling Mask Cup Pack

I purchased several variants of the Lindsay Modeling Mask Cup Pack when I was in Korea last year, after hearing good things about it and being HwaHae Award-winning K-Beauty product! It was also being recorded as No. 1 in sales and No. 2 in customer satisfaction at Olive Young and duty-free shops. 

Adding on, I had good experiences with past modeling masks like Reverie Touch Rosy Glow Rubber Mask, Reverie Touch Green Tea Rubber Mask and Cellxv Peel-Off Modelling Mask. 

Lindsay masks are an advanced version compared to regular sheet masks and have been used in most Korean skin spas and skincare shops. Major ingredient of the rubber masks 'Alginate', transforms from a powder type into a gel texture when mixed with water.

Lindsay, the pioneers of modeling masks are the preferred choice of dermatologists! This innovative range of modeling masks prioritize skin health with its dual-action approach. Firstly, they deeply moisturize and nourish the skin, thanks to a unique vacuum-sealing technique that enhances ingredient absorption. Secondly, they impart skin cooling properties, are 100% paraben-free and exclude harmful chemicals, earning an Environmental Working Group Green Grade certification.

Lindsay Modeling Mask Cup Pack is a powder mask, formed by mixing Diatomaceous Earth (sea plant deposits/soil), Glucose (vegetable moisturising ingredients), and Algin (Alginate) extracted from seaweed; subsequently mixed with water or essence turning into a dough. When this mixture is kneaded with water, it transforms into a gel-like state and gradually solidifies into a rubbery texture, hence its common name, a rubber pack.

Each of the variant is provided in a cup type packaging with an inclusive spatula makes it easy to use. 

How To Use :
1) Open the lid of the Cup Pack to access the powder inside.
2) Use the spatula's “cup side” to add 7-8 spoonfuls of cold water to the powder. Take care to pour and mix simultaneously and to avoid pouring excessive water.
3) Use the spatula's “handle side” to mix the powder and water thoroughly until it forms a thick, smooth paste.
4) Evenly apply the mask pack over your face using the spatula's handle side, ensuring complete coverage.
5) Allow the mask to set for about 15 minutes (or until dry), then gently peel it off. Use cotton pads or toner to remove any residues, if necessary.
6) Finish by applying your favorite moisturizing products to lock-in hydration and complete your skincare routine.
7) Can be used once daily or as and when necessary.
8) One mask cup is ideally for one use, but if you want to use one cup multiple times, store the remaining contents in a cool place, and in an airtight container.
9) Can mix and match multiple Lindsay Masks for one time use to tackle different skin concerns at once



Lindsay Pearl Modeling Mask Cup Pack Review

Lindsay Pearl Modeling Mask Cup Pack contains pearl powder, which helps cultivate skin nutrition and brighten and clear skin. It provides a brightening effect, revealing instant brightening effects and supplying nutrients to the skin.

Benefit : Provides nutrition and brightening effects to brighten dull skin and display a healthy glow. 

Peel off the lid of the modeling mask cup pack but mine was pretty tight, so I ended up cutting it open. Inside, you’ll find the powder ready to be mixed. The instructions recommend adding 7 spoonfuls of cold water, but I used 8 spoonfuls instead, as the mixture was still too thick and had some dry powder left when using only seven.

[ Review ] Dr. Satin Caviar Intensive Hydration Mask

 
Dr. Satin Caviar Intensive Hydration Mask Review
Product Description
Dr. Satin Caviar Intensive Hydration Mask is a nutrient-rich hydrating treatment mask with GHK-Cu that provides intensive hydration and restores the skin’s balance. The unique formula infuses skin with powerful moisture-enriching actives, resulting in smoother, more luminous skin in minutes.

Purpose and effect: Efficient moisturizing and repairing, soothing and moisturizing the skin

I purchased both Dr. Satin Caviar Vivify Collagen Mask and Dr. Satin Caviar Intensive Hydration Mask as the brand was highly recommended by the Watsons promotor in Ximending, Taipei.

Hydration plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s overall health and function. Well-hydrated skin supports an optimal barrier, which helps protect against environmental aggressors and prevents transepidermal water loss. 

When the skin lacks moisture, it can appear rough, tight, or flaky, and may even become more prone to sensitivity and premature aging. Incorporating hydrating skincare such as sheet masks enriched with humectants like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and panthenol help to replenish moisture levels and reinforce the skin barrier. These formulas can deliver an intensive boost of hydration, leaving the skin feeling supple, balanced, and more resilient.

This is my 2nd mask variant from Dr. Satin. The brand focuses on dermatologist-formulated skincare using marine ingredients, vitamins, and biotech extracts. Their products aim for medical-grade results but with gentle, everyday use.

[ Review ] Dr. Satin Caviar Vivify Collagen Mask

 
Dr. Satin Caviar Vivify Collagen Mask Review
Product Description
Formulated with small-molecule collagen for better absorption, Dr. Satin Caviar Vivify Collagen Mask helps support the skin’s natural collagen production while replenishing moisture. It delivers deep hydration to revitalize tired skin and enhances firmness for a lifted, youthful-looking appearance with a radiant glow.

I first came across this mask while browsing for For Beloved sheet masks at Watsons in Taipei. The promoter enthusiastically recommended the local brand Dr. Satin, even suggesting it was better than For Beloved Girl masks though she did note that For Beloved One still holds the top spot.

Collagen is one of the key proteins that keeps our skin smooth, plump, and firm. As we age, our natural collagen levels gradually decline, leading to fine lines, dryness, and loss of elasticity. Sheet masks infused with collagen or collagen-boosting ingredients are designed to give the skin an instant surge of hydration while supporting its natural repair process. They act as a quick at-home treatment, helping to restore suppleness, improve skin texture, and enhance radiance in just one application.

[ Review ] 23.5°N Soy Yogurt Plumping Cream Mask

 
23.5°N Soy Yogurt Plumping Cream Mask Made in Taiwan

Product Description
23.5°N Soy Yogurt Plumping Cream Mask is the result of an innovative collaboration of 23.5N with a local yogurt brand in Taiwan. It features the tiny molecules of soy yogurt after fermentation that effectively moisturize the skin and giving it the bounciness that you’re craving for! Through the fermentation technology in a dust-free environment equivalent to that of a pharmaceutical factory, 23.5N masterfully converted the organic soy and probiotics from the soy yogurt intro pure extract that is more easily absorbed by the skin. Together with high-efficiency skincare ingredients peptides and amino acids, you can now say goodbye to fine lines and rough skin and welcome smooth and refined skin texture.

I purchased 23.5°N Soy Yogurt Plumping Cream Mask during my last trip to Taiwan in November 2024. Despite knowing that most of their products (23.5°N Bamboo Gel Mask, 23.5°N Red Pearl Barley Brightening Gel Mask and 23.5°N Rice Soothing Active Set) were too gentle for me, I still wanted to give this a try. 

When your skin feels irritated, tight, or just a little out of balance, a cream mask can be a comforting blanket. It’s that extra step of care that helps restore balance and keep the complexion calm, plump, and more resilient.

Unlike clay masks that focus on deep cleansing, cream masks are designed to soothe, hydrate, and strengthen the skin barrier. They give the skin a comforting “reset,” replenishing lost moisture while calming redness and sensitivity.

I received a box of the rinse-off masks from a good friend who purchased it in Sephora, during Christmas. While I am always happy to receive masks, but unfortunately, products from Peter Thomas Roth didn't were more misses than hits based on past experiences.

I have previously emptied Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Mask which didn't perform up to my expectation but I am hoping that the rest work well. 

[ Review ] Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask

 
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask Review

Product Description
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask is an ultra-gentle gel that helps soothe, hydrate, and detoxify the look of dry, irritated skin with botanical extracts of cucumber, papaya, chamomile, pineapple, sugar maple, sugarcane, orange, lemon, bilberry, and aloe vera. It’s ideal for helping to calm and soothe the skin's appearance after sun exposure, peels, waxing, facials, and extractions.

After emptying Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Mask, it is time to try out Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask which unfortunately, was another disappointment. I received 5 x 14ml Peter Thomas Roth masks as a Christmas gift some time back which is available on Sephora during the Christmas period. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

The one in my arsenal is a 14ml travel sized tube and I also bought a 50ml size a few months later, when it was on sale, when I was running out of rinse-off masks. 

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask Texture


It has a light cucumber scent mixed with some fragrance. The light green gel texture has a cooling and refreshing sensation upon application on skin.

How To Use :
1) Apply a generous coat on clean skin.
2) Allow mask to remain on for 10 minutes.
3) Rinse with cool water.

Tip : Use two to three times a week or daily for intensive hydration.

Performance and Ingredients

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask is marketed as an ultra-gentle, refreshing gel mask designed to soothe, hydrate, and detoxify dry, irritated skin using a blend of botanical extracts. With its cooling texture and calming ingredients, I had high hopes—especially given how often my skin craves hydration and relief from environmental stress.

Upon application, the mask does deliver a refreshing, cooling sensation, which initially feels promising. However, that’s where the benefits ended for me. I didn’t experience any noticeable soothing effect, and surprisingly, it didn’t hydrate my skin at all. The gel absorbed quickly into my skin, almost disappearing within minutes, but left behind a slight taut feeling—particularly around my philtrum (the area between the nose and upper lip), which was a bit uncomfortable.

After rinsing off the mask, my skin felt virtually unchanged. My skin texture, especially on the nose, remained rough and dehydrated. Unfortunately, the mask didn’t deliver the results I was looking for, and I was left disappointed—especially considering the price point of the 50ml purchase.

Overall, while this mask might work for someone with very sensitive or reactive skin looking for a barely-there treatment, it was simply too gentle for what my skin needed. I’ll be reaching for something more hydrating and restorative next time.

The key ingredients are....

Cucumber Extract : Helps nourish, hydrate, comfort, soothe, calm and de-puff the appearance of skin.

Papaya Extract : Rich in vitamins, this natural enzyme helps soften the appearance of skin.

Chamomile Extract : A natural flower extract that helps comfort and soothe the look of skin.

Water, Butylene Glycol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Fruit Extract, Sodium Pca, Allantoin, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Edta, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Yellow 5 (Ci 19140), Blue 1 (Ci 42090)

Conclusion

To conclude, while Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask offers a refreshing, cooling application, it ultimately fell short of its claims—for my skin, at least. It neither soothed nor hydrated effectively, and the lack of visible results left me underwhelmed. This mask may suit those with very sensitive or non-dehydrated skin looking for a light, calming treatment, but for skin in need of deeper hydration and noticeable soothing benefits, it may be too gentle to make a real difference.

Jowae Purifying Clay Mask is the instant mattifying care product for combination and oily skin. It combines Lumiphenols with sacred lotus and pure clay, known to absorb impurities and excess sebum. It also contains a papaya enyzme with exfoliating properties. 

It purifies, unclogs and tightens pores. The skin is clear, balanced and matified. Pores are unclogged and tightened. The complexion is velvety smooth and radiant.

As my skin matured, I began noticing it was more prone to breakouts, especially at the chin area so I decided to incorporate a purifying mask into my routine to help combat congestion, blemishes, and occasional dullness.

And it happened that I chanced upon Jowae Purifying Clay Mask on Robinsons Singapore and there it goes into my cart.

I chanced upon Caudalie VinoHydra Moisturizing Mask on sale in Sephora and couldn't resist adding to my cart. I have been opting for rinse-off masks for the past 2 years due to sustainability reasons, and my last few masks were Evolve Bio Retinol Gold Mask, Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilence Soothing Face Mask and 100% Pure Cocoa Butter Moisture Mask which worked out great.
