Review: Dermal Charcoal Collagen Essence Mask

This was the last dermal mask i had at home. As usual, price is $1.95, can be found at Watsons.

As stated on the packaging, I was kinda shocked to know that this mask is meant for soothing.

Result:

As compared to the cucumber essence mask, this material for this mask is slightly thicker. For the scent and cutting of this mask, it was similar to the cucumber essence mask.

After usage, face felt slightly hydrated, no brightening effects, pores looked the same too, not much of a difference.

Verdict: 6/10

Just an average mask, nothing special. Not really hydrated and not so much of a soothing effect i feel. With the price, i suppose there are better ones in the market.

Review: Dermal Cucumber Collagen Essence Mask

Only got to now this mask lately though it was in sg for quite some time already. It can be found at Sasa, Watsons & guardian, selling at $1.95/pc, sometimes $1/pc at sasa since they have the buy 1 get 1 free promo. It can be found at Gmarket as well, much cheaper, around $1/pc, and if i am not wrong, there seem to be more 'flavors; at gmarket as compared to the stores.

Bought the cucumber & charcoal one to try. All dermal masks contain collagen (0.2%). If its the cucumber, the mask will contain 1% of cucumber extract. If its lemon, then it will have 1% lemon extract in the mask.

Initially, i thought cucumber will be more for soothing purpose. But on the packet, it actually states that its for purfiy, refined & moisturising.

Do note that there is methylparaben and perfume in the ingredient list. No alcohol though.

Result:

Mask is moderately wet, with a cucumber scent thats not too strong, quite ok i feel. Essence is not the gel kind, more towards the watery kind. Material of mask is not too thin as compared to the other korean mask such as skinlite that ive tried previously. Mask comes with eye 'flaps', so we can still mask our eyelids at the same time lol. Mask fits me well, 1 of the best cut for me, even at the areas near the nose! Usually when i mask, areas near nose cant be covered cos our nose aint flat u see. But this mask, i dont how they do it, but it just fits nicely.

Face look brighter & clearer after masking! was pretty shocked.. since its not a whitening mask. Face feel soft but not vv hydrated i feel, not sure is it because I did a mud mask (deep cleansing) before i mask. Just a very light mask. Face still look bright this morning, but still as oily. Dint soothe my pimples, neither did it irritate them.

Verdict:

Price 9/10 Quite a standard price for mask found in sg stores.

Effects: 7/10 Was satisfied with the brightening effect. But I would want it to be more hydrating too. Definitely not the mask for you if you are looking for intense hydration.
