Review: Bio-essence Tanaka White Skin White Perfecting Stretch Mask


Bought this mask when i saw it on offer at $2.95 at Sasa some time ago. Usual was $3.90/pc, Watson is selling it at $24.90 for a box of 5pc.


This mask claims to tighten pores, increases elasticity and firm skin while soothing skin from daily stress and fatigue. it lightens wrinkles and fine lines, improve cell renewal so that skin is supple, smooth and radiant.


Ingredients (partial): Lentinus Edodes Extract (Bio energy fluids), Tanaka extract, Urea, Methyl Paraben, bio mineral essence, pomelo extract, carbomer, aloe vera, propyl paraben, ginseng extract, cornu cervi pantotrichum extract, lycium extract, ginkgo extract biloba extract, fragrance


As you can see, the list looks impressive.. with lotsa extracts.. no alcohol but there is added fragrance.


Result:

The mask is moderately wet with essence, the material of the mask was quite diff from the rest. in a way, it dint really fit my face but yet there were not alot of crumpled areas cos the mask was 'stiff'. 1 thing i hate were the ultimiate small eye holes!!! its the smallest ive seen so far! Scent was alright, smells like the tanaka range, not too strong.


After 15min, my face was significantly brighter! There seems to be a layer on the face, not uncomfortable & stuicky though. Face felt smooth. The next morning, my face was really radiant, skincare glide on easily. quite impressed with the results. Dint irritate my zits too, in fact, 1 of them seemed to shrink in size. Dint give me zits too.


Verdict: 8/10 Quite expensive for a mask, prolly will repurchase when there is a sale only. The small eye holes really bother me since i was forced to lie on the bed with my eyes closed
