Review : Skin Inc Rose Gold Mask

Product Description
Infused with Skin Inc Vitamin A Serum, the Lines Be-gone Rose Gold Hydrogel Mask is concocted with an innovative blend of anti-aging natural Rose and Floral Extracts, enhanced with precious Pure Gold.

Skin Inc Rose Gold Mask is one of the sheet masks in the Sephora Favourites Mask Wonderland Box which is an excellent opportunity for me to try out their products as $17 per mask sheet is not exactly within my budget. You can check out my past reviews for Skin Inc My Daily Dose ( Chlorella  + Vitamin A ) and Skin Inc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask.

Also known as a Facial In A Flash mask series, which is part of a set of metal-infused, hydrogel sheet mask - cut and packaged into two halves — meant to be applied to the face in pieces. The goal is to mish-mosh the different mask halves together to create your own custom treatment.

There are 3 varieties of the Facial In A Flash series :
- Soothe-n-Purify Black Gold Mask, which is packed with brightening vitamin C, detoxifying charcoal, and anti-inflammatory gold to calm the skin
-  Lines Be-Gone Rose Gold Mask, a treatment packed with vitamin A and rose to lift
- Get Glowin Platinum Mask is a brightening treatment formulated with vitamin B3 to bring a bit of radiance back to your complexion.

Said to combat ageing by firming the skin, Skin Inc Rose Gold Mask has 2 individually packed masks in each box where one is for the top half of the face (T-zone and eye areas) and the other for the bottom half (cheeks, mouth and chin areas).

The hydrogel material is glooey and slippery with a cooling sensation. The cutting fits well for my face shape and has a familiar-but-hard-to-describe scent.

After a 30 minute treatment session, my skin looked slightly clearer, fresher and revitalized but I am unable to see any lifting effect for now. Perhaps it may be more obvious for sagging skin. However, at this price point, I guess I was expecting much more - like younger, smoother, bouncy skin?

Product Description
Infused with Skin Inc Vitamin C Serum, the Soothe-n-Purify Black Gold Hydrogel Mask is concocted with an unparalleled blend of soothing and natural skin-loving plant extracts, enhanced with purifying Charcoal and precious Pure Gold. It helps to calm and detoxify the skin.

I received a sheet of Skin Inc Soothe-N-Purify Black Gold Mask ( together with other masks ) as a Christmas gift from a good friend last year. At $17, it is really pricey and I certainly hope that the price matches its performance.

Also known as a Facial In A Flash mask series, each sheet mask can be customised according to your skin concerns, depending on which area of your face needs a specific solution.

There are 3 varieties of the Facial In A Flash series
- Black Gold Calming Detox Mask to soothe and purify skin

Review : Skin Inc My Daily Dose ( Chlorella + Vitamin A )

Product Description
A Chlorella serum that reduces the appearance of dark spots and dullness for a clearer, brighter complexion—designed to mix (or blend) with two other Skin Inc serums to tackle multiple skin concerns in one. This renewing serum contains a nutrient-rich extract of the algae chlorella to help improve dullness and reduce the appearance of dark spots for an even, luminous skin tone. 

Product Description
Take on skin dullness, uneven skin tone and signs of exhaustion around the eyes and dark circles for a healthy look—designed to mix (or blend) with two other Skin Inc serums to tackle multiple skin concerns in one. This serum rich in vitamin A is designed to improve fatigue and skin dullness around the delicate eye area. It supports natural collagen production, blood flow, and circulation of the skin, resulting in a youthful-looking appearance.

A good friend of mine, has been wow-ing about Skin Inc products for awhile and so, I decided to pop in by the store during one of our chit-chat sessions together. I have previously tried out Skin Inc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask and Skin Inc Renew Coenzyme Q10 more than 4 years ago but wasn't overly impressed then so perhaps its time to revisit the brand.

Skin Inc is a Singapore brand but their products are made in Japan, with 0% paraben and 0% scent. It has won over 100 awards from renowned beauty authorities and insiders across the globe. Said to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, the brand is famed for their custom serums, with patented encapsulation technology from Japan. The caviar-inspired capsules protect active ingredients from exposure to light and oxidation, keeping them fresh and potent for maximum effectiveness. The serums are versatile and compatible with any skincare and makeup product which one can add them to masks, moisturisers, primer and foundations.

In the store, I was tasked to fill in a Skin Identity Questionaire ( Skin Inc’s proprietary self-diagnostic tool developed by Skin Inc scientists based on decades of skin aging research ) about my skin problems and concerns. Thereafter, I was given 2 x 5ml sizes of the Skin Inc Serum in Chlorella and Vitamin A and told to mix both together ( 3 drops from each bottle ) to be used. 

Word of mouth is really powerful, especially when it comes from those who are close to you and I am definitely glad to have revisited Skin Inc this time. 

Review : Skinc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask

Product Description
This triple-treat gel mask clarifies, hydrates and whitens in one simple step. Replenishing your skin’s moisture with precious deep-sea water – extremely pure and rich in nutrients – from southern Japan, this deeply hydrating mask also combines soy bean extract for brightening the skin and hyaluronic acid for the extra moisture boost. So gentle that it can used around the eye area and left on overnight, daily. The result? Radiant skin that feels plump and dewy soft. 0% Scent and 0% Paraben

At 30ml, the retail price for this mask is $72, too expensive, in my opinion but I managed to snag a deal during Luxola 30% storewide sale. Just wanted to see if the Made In Japan hydrating mask product is really worth the price. You can check out the rest of Skin Inc products here.

Skin Inc is founded by a Singaporean lady, with a vision of using the best and proven ingredients and then ensuring that the ingredient can be delivered fresh and effectively to the skin – to the skin’s deeper layers where it matters the most. Skin Inc products are said to be designed and formulated with zero percent paraben, zero percent scent and zero percent fuss.

With a clean and minimalistic design, the mask is housed in a plastic tub that looks elegant. The 30ml size lasts me for about 2.5 months where I use it as a hydrating mask once a week. It can be layered on the skin for up to 30 minutes or as an overnight mask although with the gel texture, I don't quite like using it as an overnight mask because it doesn't absorb into the skin unlike the conventional overnight mask from Laneige.

The gel texture is thick and glooey-like but without the messiness. It applies easily on the skin but requires slightly more effort to cleanse it off. It claims to whiten and hydrates but I feel that its performance is not on par with its hefty price.

The hydrating mask hydrates moderately well on optimal skin condition but not sufficient on dehydrated skin. In fact, it stings slightly on flakiness. And the whitening capability is hardly visible on my skin. However, I like the soft and supple skin, right after each treatment though the hydration doesn't last well beyond a day. On severely dehydrated skin condition, I will recommend one to use it every day.

Skin Inc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask

Skinc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask ( Shopee ) 

Ingredients :
Aqua, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Algae Extract, Natto Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acrylates / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Tetrasodium EDTA

Update 8/5/18 :
A 5ml sample size was part of my purchase set from Tangs Beauty Box, which came in timely, as I was battling with dehydrated skin after a bad cleanser experience. It lasted me 3 times of usages where I used it twice a day and the following morning.

Even though Skinc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask is recommended to be layered on skin for 30 minutes but the mask was absorbed into my dehydrated skin within 5 minutes, leaving a tacky left-behind feel. I washed it off after 30 minutes.

It soothe my parched skin and hydrates slightly. There is no stinging sensation or brightening effect. Just a mask suitable for those with optimal skin condition. Not necessarily one which you will reach for, during emergency cases.

Review : Skin Inc Renew Coenzyme Q10

Product Description
Skin Inc RENEW CoEnzyme Q10 Serum helps in anti-aging and reduces sagging and wrinkles. Coenzyme in skin decreases as we age. It is a natural cell revitalizer which encourages production of energy in cells, to renew cell functions. Coenzyme Q10 is easily oxidizable, but with Skin Inc’s patented technology of encapsulation, CoQ10 in RENEW is always fresh. Skin Inc RENEW CoEnzyme Q10 Serum is formulated in Japan with 100% pure, active ingredients, paraben-free, and scent-free.

This was a freebie from a magazine and I have completely forgotten about using it.
Skin Inc is the world's first Skin Supplement Bar offering highly concentrated, 100% pure and active serums and skincare from Japan. All their products are touted to have 0% scent and 0% parabens.

Made in Japan, this 20ml serum encased in a glass bottle (with a dropper) is only about 3/4 full when I first used it. I cannot remember if it was completely full when I first got it.

It last me for about 2 weeks, on an almost daily basis usage, sometimes in the day, sometimes in the night, usually about once a day, with 1 to 2 drops per usage.

However, its not easy to reach the contents at the end of the bottle as the dropper does not reach right to the end so what I did, is to just pour out the sticky serum. It does take some time though.

It does not have a scent and the texture is what a serum is, sticky, thick and not easy to spread. It is easier to spread when the skin is slightly damp before application. In fact, I felt that the serum gets absorbed into my skin better at night than in the day.
The tiny orange beads were found more in the lower part of the bottle which I get to use only after the contents were almost depleting. The tiny orange beads would disappear after some slight massaging on the skin. Interesting!

I do not really have a strict anti-aging skincare regime so this CoQ10 serum is a welcome treat for my skin. Knowing that CoQ10 is basically a good antiaging ingredient for the skin, I do think that it should work well on a longer term basis. You can read more about CoQ10 here

A short 2 weeks may not be able to feel and see a difference. However, I do feel that my face looked less tired and is fresher-looking after a week of usage.
