Review : Mandom Beauty Barrier Repair Facial Mask CO

Product Description
Superbly-hydrating sheet masks drench skin with collagen and hyaluronic acid-enriched essence to quench skin thirst and restore skin's youthful glow and supple feel. A single sheet is infused with as much as 27 ml. of essence, successfully reversing the signs of skin dryness and giving skin a moist finish with a translucent glow.

Previously, I have reviewed the HA mask and this is the collagen version where the name "CO" stands for collagen. I picked a box of 5 sheets from Sasa at $10.90.

Mandom Beauty is a drugstore beauty brand where it offers some good products at affordable prices. I like that its Barrier Repair masks work well on my skin without the need to spend ridiculous amount of money.

Individually packed, each sheet mask is heavily soaked in essence that drips alittle when its pulled out from the packaging. It has a soya bean scent that smells edible. Lol.
It comes with a small eye flap where you can tear it abit to pull it down. The sheet mask adheres well to the skin since its so wet. It drenches my skin with moisture and leave it much better hydrated.
Skin feels soft and supple the following morning.

Review : Mandom Beauty Barrier Repair Mask

Product Description

Facial moisturizing mask with Hyaluronic Acid. Fast absorbing essence works deep in the skin, leaving your skin supple and moist. Super soft fit sheet is gentle on a delicate skin. The sheet is cut to fit a woman's facial line, so it stays on well. Non stinging formula. No fragrance, no colorant, and no preservative. Patch tested and stinging tested.

 
This facial sheet mask was part of my April haul and I brought the only 2 sheets I owned to Taiwan. At 27ml, I got it at a steal at just $1.95 each. It contains penetrating hyaluronic acid (micro sized molecules) and regular hyaluronic acid to better penetrate into skin.

Designed with penetrating micro hyaluronic acid molecules that are 1/100th the size of regular molecules to better penetrate into skin for regular sized molecules to work their remarkable water retaining effects. 1g of hyaluronic acid is believed to be able to retain 6L of water. 

The mask also contains an unique baby water lipid formula which is an emollient, water-retaining ingredient that forms a "barrier" on the surface of skin which helps to prevent dehydration from moisture loss. Additionally infused with highly penetrating micro molecules collagen to better allow absorption into skin.

It has a funny scent and is heavily soaked in essence. The eye flaps are quite tiny, to my standard which barely cover the top of my eyelids. When its pulled out of the packaging, the eyeflaps are actually attached to the whole mask so I tore the eyeflaps abit, so that I can have the option of opening or closing the eyeflaps as and when I am comfortable.

 
The initial flakiness on my skin are much better soothed and hydrated after each treatment over 2 days so at $1.95 and being made in Japan, its quite a value-for-money facial sheet mask.

Review : Mandom Cleansing Express Bright Up Cleansing Sheets

Product Description
Oil-free, Water-based makeup cleansing sheet effectively melt down dirt and makeups even from deep in pores.
No-rinsing or no-facial lotion necessary! It makes your daily skincare fast and easy.
Cleansing liquid is absorbed in a thick, soft cotton sheet. Gentle and refreshing feeling.
Oil Free, no fragrance, no colorant, paraben free, and alcohol free.
Allergy tested. Patch, stinging, non-comedogenic tested.

I got myself a packet of these cleansing sheets when I was in Japan, together with the moist version at just 210yen per pack which is about S$3.31.

According to Mandom, after google translation, this Bright Up version contains AHA and Lactic Acid to remove dull dead cells containing melanin, hence producing brighter skin.
The Bright Up line is recommended for those who are concerned with dullness, clogged pores caused by Melanin. In addition, it also help to build up strong skin that is hard to get pimples.

I have reviewed the moist version last month which is not something suitable for me.
I got better luck with this bright up version, because even though it still stings the eyes if not careful, it was not a dripping mess, unlike the moist version. With the moist version, it tends to drip all over the face and so it gets into the eyes pretty easily. However, with this bright-up, its not that dripping wet, so it does not give one the messiness which also meant the reduced tendency of stinging the eyes.
I thought the face does look clearer and brighter after each use but the effect does not seem to last.

Similar to the moist pack, the size of each pads are the same and the cleansing capability is pretty reasonable, 1 sheet on both sides made a good removal of my weekend make-up. Mascara, will of course still needs some effort to have it removed.

The only gripe is the packaging, whereby 2 pieces are kept in 1 sachet which made it such a hassle to keep 1 intact in a ziplock bag in order to avoid it being dried out, before the second day usage. I hope the people at Mandom will take this into consideration and have the 6 pieces packed separately. I am sure I am not the only irritated one.

Review : Mandom Cleansing Express Moist Cleansing Sheets

Product Description
- 100% oil-free and water-based
- Provides powerful cleansing action, just like cleansing oil
- Gentle to skin
- Quick floating function quickly lifts mnakeup from deep inside pores to surfasce for easy removal
- 3 in 1 lotion which removes make-up tones and moisturises in 1 step
- Contains moisturising properties

After the widely successful cleansing lotion, I was keen to try out their cleansing sheets, afterall, its a handy product for travels and I do travel a few times per year, either for work or for leisure. I love travelling. Who doesn't, right? It breaks the mundane routine of everyday life.
I picked this up for 210yen ($3.31) in Japan whereas its retailing for $4.95 in Watsons Singapore. Relatively cheaper but not by alot.

Its actually difficult for me to pick up products in Japan, because I have a poor memory and I cannot remember the names and their prices and do not want to risk buying a wrong product. For some drugstore products like Haba Labo and Juju available in both Watsons Singapore and Japan drugstores, the packaging seems different and I cannot differentiate between a cleanser, lotion or moisturiser in Japanese language, so I did not get them.
Instead I picked up this pack of cleansing sheets and thankfully, I did not buy more because unlike the lotion, I do not really like their cleansing sheets.

It comes in a pack of 3 sachets in each pack, with 2 small cotton square pads (6.5cm by 6.5cm) in each sachet, which made it a total of 6 cotton pads for usage. However, because each sachet is not sealable, either you have to use up both pads once sachet is torn or keep the remaining pad in a ziplock bag to prevent drying out. Urgh. I hate such inconvenience and usually used up 2 pads in a row, 1 for the face and 1 for the eyes, just right for me. However, that also meant that each pack only can last me for 3 times of usages. 50cents per small square pad. Still reasonable cost, I would say.

The first time I used it, it stings my eyes real badly, leaving my eyes red and raw. The sheets are heavily soaked in essence so when I tried to remove my eye make-up, the liquid got into my eyes. I wouldn't recommend those with sensitive eyes to use these sheets to cleanse the eye make-up. How can cleansing sheets be so difficult to manage?
The face make-up are relatively easy to clear off with just 1 sheet, used on both sides. That itself is highly commendable. Its non-sticky and my skin does not feel tight or dry after each use.
Touted to be 100% oil-free, fragrance free, colouring free, paraben-free and alcohol free, I wish that I can say I love this cleansing sheets but sadly, no. I would not get it again.
I do not fancy the thought of bringing cleansing sheets for the face and a separate eye make-up remover for my travels. And it hurts the eyes real bad. The dripping lotion from the sheets can be quite a mess too.

Review : Mandom Beauty Cleansing Express Moist

Product Description
- Water-based
- Suitable for dry skin
- No alcohol, coloring, or oil
- Very light, fresh fragrance
- Removes makeup (even waterproof mascara) quickly and effectively
- Tones skin while removing makeup
- Facial wash is unnecessary after makeup is removed

I purchased Mandom Beauty Cleansing Express Moistup while window-shopping in Junction 8 Watsons the other day. This appeals to me because its water-based. Touted as no alcohol, colouring and oil, it further entices me to get it. And at $3.95 for 50ml with a Made in Japan tag, it was a good comfortable size at a good reasonable price for me to try on my skin.
 
I have not been using Madom Beauty products for a very long time. I used their cleansing products when I was a teenager and after that, nothing seems fantastic from their line, until this cleansing lotion came along.
It has received rave reviews from everyone who have used it and believe me, I am joining them right this minute.
 
In Junction 8 Watsons, I only chanced upon the Moist version. I may have overlooked the rest though.
This cleansing lotion is touted as a 3-in-1 lotion, meaning you can remove make-up, cleanse and moisturise with just this lotion. You don't even need another cleanser or moisturiser after you use this.
Its 100% oil free, fragrance free, colouring free, paraben free and alcohol free.
 
Well, I usually do not really follow through and I use it as just a pure cleansing lotion. Thereafter, I followed up with my regular cleanser. As a cleansing lotion, it works pretty well. It feels and looks like water. So basically, this Made in Japan is really good. No oily residue, no yucky smell, just a lotion which looks like clear lotion as you clear up the make-up junk from your face.

Its gentle and mild, yet is able to cleanse my face make-up with just 2 cotton pads. I don't use it around the eyes, so I cannot comment on the waterproof mascara. I still prefer a separate eye make-up remover for that. I would think that its good for those with sensitive skin as well, since there are lesser irritants in this, as compared with others.
Some beauty bloggers have commented that its difficult to remove waterproof make-up. I cannot comment on that but you can try to see if it works for you though.

It retails for $16.90 for 300ml at Watsons.
