[ Review ] SNP Animal Panda Warming Eye Mask + Animal Tiger Warming Eye Mask

Warming Eye Mask Product Description
The eye masks relaxes dry and fatigued eyes resulting from frequent use of smartphones or computers, or through overworking and stress. Warmth at about 41.5℃ for around 20 minutes to comfort eyes, and disposable patch type makes it sanitary. It contains lavender with subtle fragrance which helps one rest comfortably and sleep soundly.

I purchased both SNP Animal Panda Warming Eye Mask and Animal Tiger Warming Eye Mask when I was in Korea late last year. Each box comes with 5 individually packed pieces. The prints are fun and adorable and I believe that it would be a hit with children in order to trick/coax them to sleep.

Warming eye masks are nothing new nowadays as its been made popular by Kao for its innovative Kao Megurhythm Steam Hot Eye Mask many years ago. You can also read my review of Mediheal Warming Eye Mask which I enjoyed using.

Both SNP Animal Panda Eye Mask and Animal Tiger Warming Eye Mask work the same way, except for the different prints. However, the impression and performance differs slightly between both masks.

Each pair of warming eye masks is kept in a clear sealed plastic sheet in the box packaging where you have to cut to remove the mask from it. Thereafter, tear the cutting line in the centre of the eye mask and wear it so that the illustrated side of the mask faces outward.

The cutting is comfortable and fits snugly without the need to re-adjust and does not loosen even as you toss and turn in bed. The heat sensation is just right, without the fear of being scalded. In fact, it just relaxes your eyes after a long day at work, or facing the computer.

I also like that there were no beads of water trapped within the eye mask, unlike Kao Megurhythm Steam Hot Eye Mask.

Unfortunately, I do sniff an unpleasant "chemical" scent during the usage of the SNP Animal Tiger Warming Eye Mask - it could be the adhesive or the material used but I really dislike that. The warming eye mask being worn so near to my nose, meant the scent is being amplified and came out stronger. I don't really like inhaling such scent while I sleep since I am not sure what "chemicals" are they. I can't even detect any lavender fragrance though.

In comparison, SNP Animal Panda Warming Eye Mask fared much better as I only detect a very subtle chemical scent which disappeared after a short while. The heat sensation was also slightly lower than that of the Animal Tiger Warming Eye Mask. In fact, I hardly felt much heat from the Panda Eye Mask, unless I kept pressing the mask onto my eyes, so that I can feel the heat when its in close proximity. I also can't detect any lavender fragrance.

These warming eye masks are convenient and travel-friendly and are great for relaxing your eyes. They can be worn anywhere and anytime, on bed, on the plane and after reading. In comparison, I would still prefer Mediheal Warming Eye Mask.

I have terrible undereye conditions - dark circles, eye bags and fine lines and nothing, absolutely nothing eradicates them. Mostly are hereditary and I can't do much except to minimize the issues and make my peepers look better.

I have a soft spot for eye masks and on my very first trip with my girlfriends to Taiwan, they were shocked to see me putting boxes and boxes of eye masks into my basket and I have been known as a skincare fanatic ever since. Oops, my secret is out of the bag.

I picked up SNP Bird's Nest Aqua Eye Patch from Korea during a trip late last year. Woven by swiftlets from their saliva, edible Bird’s Nest (or Bird’s Nest) is one of the most popular tonics in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

In terms of beauty, they are reputed to maintain youthfulness and enhance the complexion. Modern studies have shown that Bird’s Nest is rich in epidermal growth factor(EGF). This substance is responsible for skin and tissue repair.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Made in Korea, SNP Bird's Nest Aqua Eye Patch has a cohesive blue theme in its product - from packaging to the tub and right down to the eye patches. Each round plastic tub comes with a clear plastic spatula and 60 pieces ( 30 pairs ) of eye patches, all stacked upon each other neatly on 2 rows.

Each crescent moon shaped eye patch is light blue in colour, adorned with little shiny specks on it. It has a subtle fragrance which is not overpowering.

Made of a hydrogel material, the texture has a jelly-like glooey texture that adheres moderately well to skin. However, since the eye patches are stacked upon each other in the tub and the "essence" is found mainly at the bottom of the tub, a movement of the tub may render some of the patches to be wetter than others. As such, when the patches are alittle too wet and placed on the undereye area, they tend to slide easily when I tried to layer it on the undereye area.

And because of its thin jelly-like texture, the material crumbles easily, if my long fingernail happen to pierce through the patches so either cut your fingernails or be gentle with them.


Performance and Ingredients

Icy-cold and refreshing, SNP Bird's Nest Aqua Eye Patches remained that way even up to 1 hour, providing a cool respite in our humid weather and feels so comforting on my undereye area. They get thinner after some time of usage. You can also pop them into the fridge for an extra cooling effect.

In terms of performance, it has a subtle depuffing action and brightened up the undereye area slightly occasionally. I don't see a difference to the fine lines though.

You would also be happy to know that other than using the eye patches on the undereye area, you can also use it at the corners of the mouth, between the eyebrows and under the chin and neck hence it can be a pretty versatile product.

In most cases, ingredients are listed in descending order of concentration and the 7th ingredient on the list is Swiftlet Nest Extract ( 1000mg ) the key ingredient, which fortunately, is not at the bottom of the list, like what most brands tend to do.

The 8th ingredient on the list is Chondrus Crispus Powder which is known as Red Algae, a type of seaweed that’s a rich source of many nutrients for skin, including the pigment beta-carotene and potent antioxidants zeaxanthin, lutein, which help protect skin from the visible effects of blue light exposure. 

The natural polysaccharides, peptides, and amino acids in red algae also help skin to stay hydrated; meanwhile, the numerous antioxidants in this and other types of algae can help shield skin from damaging airborne pollutants. 

Chondrus crispus contains a compound known as carrageenan, which forms a flexible film on skin that offers further defense against environmental stressors. ( source ).  Do note that this ingredient is highly comedogenic so if you have acne, its best to be careful.

Unfortunately, alcohol is listed as the 10th ingredient so if your skin is sensitive to alcohol then you may want to take note of it.

Conclusion

In conclusion, SNP Bird's Nest Aqua Eye Patch has a budget-friendly price, a feel-good factor and is great for different usages. I really like how relaxing it is, almost like a mini eye spa session but unfortunately the effectiveness is not consistent so my search for the perfect eye mask still continues.
