Review: Faith in Face Hydrogel Masks

Faith in Face Hydrogel Masks (25g x 3sheets)
Today review is on Faith in Face Hydrogel Masks. Thanks to Faith in Face and SampleStore.com for sending them to me. 

Overall, I am really impressed by these Faith in Face Hydrogel Masks. It is able to help hydrate, smooth and brighten my dull and tired looking skin. The hydrogel mask sheet itself is really something different from the normal cotton mask sheet I used. I like it very much as the nutrients or ingredients on the hydrogel mask can really be absorbed by my stubborn skin easily and quickly. The results can be seen instantly too.

Its the right supplement that I finally found for my skin and I really recommend them to you although the price may be a little high to some. But I really think its worth it. 

Faith in Face Hydrogel Masks Summary
Faith in Face is the No 1 Hydrogel Mask Brand currently in Korea. It was first launched in 2012 by a team of multi national young cosmetic experts from Korea, Britain and Canada after 3 years of research and development. 

And I am so glad that its finally here in Singapore!!! Yeah!!!
About Faith In Face.
Faith in Face team believes in original beauty (Motto "Have Faith in Face, Origin of Beauty") and thus believes in using only organic and naturally derived extracts, free of Parabens and mineral oils with no animal testing. 
The Story.
What is written about Nourish Me Hydrogel Mask on the box.
What's special for Faith in Face Mask is that it uses Hydrogel Mask not regular microfiber and cotton mask. 

Benefits:
  • Gentle on skin and reduces allergic reactions. (Suitable for sensitive skin.)
  • Contain high percentage of water soluble ingredients to deliver maximum hydration and skin rejuvenation.

There are altogether 5 different variants to the masks (Which I will be reviewing on the first 3 variants in this post):

  2. Black And White Film Star Hydrogel Mask
  3. Nourish Me Hydrogel Mask
  4. Hold Me Tight Hydrogel Mask
  5. Miss Invisible Pore Hydrogel Mask
5 variants available.
Details of the 3 variants that will be review in this post.
To find out more about the mask, go to Faith In Face Face SG Facebook Page. 

How to use Faith in Face Hydrogel Masks?
This Faith In Face mask is divided into top and bottom part of the mask as well as smooth and textured surface of the mask. 

So you will need to be careful to apply the smooth surface to your face. Otherwise applying textured surface to face may cause discomfort. If so switch over to smooth side. 

Steps to use:
  1. After cleansing, carefully remove the thinner protective film from both the top and bottom mask to exposed the smooth surface.  
  2. Apply the smooth side of the masks to your face. 
  3. Remove the thicker protective film and adjust fit on top and bottom masks to the curves of your face. 
  4. After 30 minutes, remove the mask and discard. 
  5. Gently pat your face with fingertips to help skin absorb the remaining essence.

My Review
Thanks to Faith in Face and SampleStore.com for sending me 3 variants of the Faith In Face Hydrogel Masks to try.

Hmm.....Hydrogel mask. This is the first time I use Hydrogel mask. Really excited how it will perform on my stubborn and troubled skin. :)

Each box of Faith In Face Hydrogel Mask comes in a box of 3 sheets of 1 variant. 
Came in a box of 3 sheets of 1 variant.
Each of mask packet looks really pretty and different. There is cute story to each packet. So before I used them, I'm really attracted to it. So much so that I really read what is on it. :)
After Shower Look Hydrogel Mask
Black And White Film Star Hydrogel Mask
Nourish Me Hydrogel Mask
This faith In Face mask is a little different from those mask that I usually used. This mask is divided into 2 parts, top and bottom.
Opening the packet of the mask.
Mask divided into 2 parts: Top and Bottom portion.
Apart from that, it is the first time I see that mask have 2 different surface. Usually I just need to remove the plastic film and just place it on my face regardless of which is the right side. But for this Hydrogel mask, I need to be careful to put only the smooth side on my face. 
Smooth surface of the hydrogel mask to be place on face.
Textured surface of the hydrogel mask.
And for this, Faith In Face actually did a good job. The smooth side is place with a thinner protective film while the textured side is place with a thicker protective film. So I will never go wrong. :) But even if I am wrong, I will feel uncomfortable. So I will just need to turn it around.
3 sheets (From top to bottom):
Thin Protective film, Hydrogel mask, Thick Protective film.
Thin protective film placed on the smooth surface of the mask.
Thick protective film placed on the textured surface of the mask.
Lets go on to the hydrogel mask. The hydrogel mask has a gel like texture. It feels jelly jelly to me. Not like those normal mask I usually use. 

What I also like is that there is no essence dripping from the mask when I remove it from the packet. All the essences are lock onto the hydrogel mask. Not messy at all. :)

The essence on the hydrogel mask is also not oily. But feels a little sticky to me.

The mask is gel like in texture. Therefore it look transparent when place on my face. 
Gel like texture mask looked transparent on my face.
One thing I realize is that the mask feel cooling during application. Note that I did not place the mask in the refrigerator. Usually normal mask feels cooling during application because I place it in the refrigerator. But this hrdrogel mask came with a natural cooling feel. So comfortable that I nearly fall asleep. :)

Another thing I realize is the hydrogel mask turns thinner towards the end of the application when I am about to take it off my face. This really shows that my skin is absorbing all the goods on the hydrogel mask. 
Hydrogel mask looks thicker when just apply.
Hydrogel mask looks thinner just when I am about to remove it.
After taking off the mask, I like it that there is no lots of access essence left on my face. No messy essence and no sticky feel. My daily regimen is absorbed even better.

I have used all 3 variants of the mask given to me. Before I go through how each of the variant performed. I realize the different in color of the mask, blue, white and orange.

After Shower Look Hydrogel Mask
This variant of the mask is the one I like most of all the 3 variants I tried. 

My face really feel instantly hydrated and smooth after using. Just what my skin is really lack of.

Black And White Film Star Hydrogel Mask
My face feel smooth and slightly brighten up after use. 

Also redness on my face is reduced too. 
Before
After
Nourish Me Hydrogel Mask
While, this mask is nourish me. So its suppose to work like those supplement we eat. But this time round its supplement in the form of mask for the skin. 

So 1 application may not see much effect apart from the basic function, smooth and moisturize. So I guess I need more application to justify it's real performance.

My Review
Let me flash back my memory .........hmm........This LAC Taut Collagen Infusion Mask was redeemed I think when there is a giveaway from GNC Facebook Page. 

Yes, its another backdated review. I actually have lots of backdated reviews. Will need to find time to write them in my blog. 

But since this product has been around the market for a good long time, backdated review will still be useful, right?

Ok lets begin. 

The mask as usual was pack like any other ordinary mask, in a rectangle plastic pack. 
Pack in a usual rectangle plastic pack.
The mask itself feels durable. Its covered with serum that is gel-like in texture. Its not oily but feels a little bit sticky to me. 
Mask just taken out of the pack.
Serum left from the plastic pack.
One thing that caught my eye, the cut up eye area on the mask is bigger than other mask I used before.

How the mask looked like.
No special fragrance smell to this collagen mask.

I place this mask in the refrigerator before use. So it feels cooling during application. And it also does feel a little pokey half way through the application.
During application.
After removing the mask when time's up, serum is left on my face. I massage the left over serum on my face. The verdict is, my face touches smooth. It feels hydrated and my face is being brighten up as well. 

I also notice that my other skin care regiments are easily absorbed by my skin when I use them after this mask. 
Before use.
After use.
Overall, this is no special mask. Its an ordinary mask that provides effective results to my skin. However, its a bit too expensive to fit into my budget.  

Where to buy them?
LAC Taut Collagen Infusion Mask can be bought at all GNC Stores in Singapore for a retail price of S$49.50 for a box (5 pieces of masks). 

Where to get samples?
Nope. No Sample redemption for this product.Giveaway long ended. :(

My Review
This is won from an I-Weekly Contest. Well, another back dated product review. But better than never right? :)

Let us start with the package. The product came with a nice box with the bottle image printed on it.
How the package looked like.
This pore reducing serum came in a small bottle with a nice serum extraction dispenser. The dispenser came in a shape different from the normal dispenser I used before. The tip came slightly slanted.

The serum is a bit yellowish in color. There is a light smell to the serum but not a pleasant smell to me. Don't really like the smell. 

The pore reducing serum has a watery texture that is not oily nor sticky.

This serum is easily absorbed into my skin. And during application, it feels cooling too. 

After almost finishing 3/4 of the product, no much significant result that I notice on my skin except that no pores turns larger than its current size. Therefore, I use the serum more on my neck instead of face. 

Well really nothing to show on my face on this product. Because nothing significant that I observe. Well, I guess this product don't really suit me.

Where to buy it?
Neogence Extreme Pore Reducing Serum can be bought at Sasa Stores island wide.

Review: Talika Eye Therapy Patch

Talika Eye Therapy Patch
Today review is on Talika Eye Therapy Patch. 

This eye patch is very convenient and mess free as it contain no fluid and can be reuse up to 3 times per pair of patch. However after using, I personally feel that it has no significant effect on my eye area. Its convenient and mess free but not value for money in my opinion given its effect on my eye area. 

Talika Eye Therapy Patch Summary
Talika Eye Therapy Patch produces the following benefits:
  • Reusable patch, even washable. 
  • Moisturizing and anti-ageing.
  • Wrinkles are lessened and smoothen.
  • Dark circles and eye puffiness are reduced.
  • Acts in 30 minutes. 
Go to Talika Website for more information.

How to use Talika Eye Therapy Patch?
  1. Apply each patch to the under-eye area and leave on for 30 minutes. 
  2. Remove patch and store in jewel case for re-use. 
Use the patch in the evening, 2 to 3 times a week.
Direction of use.

My Review
Forgotten how this trail pack came along as this is a very back dated review. Hope I can still remember yah.

The trial pack came in a sliver pack.
Trail pack received.
This is the first time I am using Talika product and the eye patch came with a little surprise to me. Why do I say that? Well read on. :)

Once open, there is a pair of eye patch. Different from those normal eye mask that I used, usually it came with serum or gel on the eye mask. This Talika eye patch came dry. No messy fluid on the patch. This make it easy for me to bring around without fear of the fluid leakage.

The patch as usual came with a plastic protective film.
Patch came with protective film.
Its pretty easy to apply. I just remove the plastic protective film and apply the eye patch to my under eye area for 30 minutes. As the eye patch is stick very secure, I can continue with whatever I do with the eye patch on without the need to lay flat on bed.
Applying the eye patch is easy without fluid on the patch.
The fact that it can be reuse for up to 3 time per patch, I can stick the patch back to the protective film and store it for next use. Also storage does not worry me as there is no fluid for this eye patch.

One thing that I like is that although it feels like sticker that stick on my under eye area, when I remove after use, my under eye area do not feel sticky at all. It feels smooth to touch.

Apart from that, I did not really see much effect on my under eye area. Perhaps, I need a few more application to see effect. But too bad, to me, my opinion of a good eye mask should see effect, even a little bit of effect, in just 1 application.
Before use.
After use.
Therefore, although its a reusable, mess free and convenient eye patch, I will not continue using as its not value for money in my opinion given its effect on my eye area. But that's my opinion, you may have a different view as each skin condition is different. :)

Where to buy it?
Talika Eye Therapy Patch (6 Patch + 1 Case) can be bought at Talika Store for S$89. 

Where to get samples?
No sample redemption for this product.
