Review: Skinvitals A-whiten mask


Bought this single piece when I saw it on offer for $2.95 at Watsons some time back. A box of 3 costs $13.95, there hasnt been much offer for skinvitals lately. I m waiting for their next offer to stock my T-purify.

It contains arbutin, chamomile and grape seed oil.


Result: As usual, mask was rather wet, essence dripping. mask of cloth material, felt smooth on my face. Scent was natural but I kinda hate it. I think its smells rather bad though bearable. I dono how to describe the scent though, it just smells weird.

Face dint really feel smooth, though its slightly brighter, quite hydrated too.

Verdict: 6.5/10

one of the few whitening mask which my face did not feel itchy after masking. But the brightening effect dint manage to impress me.

Review: Skinvitals Everyday Illuminating Lotion


I got this moisturising as a freebie when i purchase 2 boxes of skinvitals mask a few months ago. This was quite a attractive promotion, so I bought quite a number of boxes haha. Received their eye serum which i still have not open though.

This lotion (40g) is retailing at about $35 or so at Watsons. I saw discounts for this range quite often.

I threw away the box so I cant provide the ingredients. From the tube, its stated that the main ingredients are Vitamin C and white peony. Since Vitamin C is found, we've to discard it 3months (dustbin symbol with 3M on it was found on the tube) atfer opening.

Whats written on the tube:

This silky lotion is the ideal treatment for skin affected by dullness, fine line and dehydrated. Utilizing the anti-oxidant and brightening powder of vitamin C and white peony, this lotion moisturises skin and smoothes fine lines while boosting radiance and vitality.


Results:

I apply this on my neck hoping to lighten my neck, so that my neck & face can be of the same or at least somewhat similar shade.

The smell is quite bad, but thank god its not too strong. Maybe its because I apply it on my neck, not on face so i cant really smell it after applying.

Lotion is quite watery so its quite easy to massage in. Not too oily but takes a while to be absorbed in.

After using it for almost 3months, I see little or no improvement at all for my neck, be it shade or lines. The worst thing is everytime I shower, my neck feels creamy, meaning my neck dint absorb in the lotion?! Even after i exfoliate my neck, this problem persists. OMG.


Verdict: Very disappointed with the product. Luckily i got it for free, cant imagine if i spent $30+ to get it. So I've got no choice but to throw it to the hall of hates :(

Review: Skinvitals Spot-on Blemish Pen


heh after the wonderful experience with skinvitals T-purify mask, i believe their anti-spot formula works for me :) so i bought their spot-on blemish pen aka pimple gel! =p

its only 10ml, and it comes in a pen brush like design. bought it at $22.90, no discount for this blemish series :( still, its rather affordable. For skinvitals, they seldom have discounts on the blemish range, so if you happen to see sale etc, do grab it!

I dont really like the brush design cos i find it unneccessary, since i wil usually clean my hands b4 touching my face. the brush dont feel as flexible as my fingers lol. moreover, i find it abit hard to squeeze the gel out, with the pressure etc, its hard to estimate how much gel i still have in the tube..

it contains tea tree oil which helps to combat breakouts & clean the skin. salicylic acid is 1 of the key ingredients as well, with gentle exfoliating action, helping skin to slough off the top layer of dead skin & prevent pores fr clogging. rosemary, eucalyptus are found in the ingredient list too. almost all ingredient are similar to the t-purify mask, except salicylic acid. Orange oil, ginger oil and cinamon oil are present too. I seldom see tea tree and salicylic acid formula i realised.

Effects:
Pimples and red bumps shrink or even disappear overnight! At least this is true for me and friend lol. Its not too drying as well, no peeling etc, even i applied on consecutive days. Pretty mild but effective for my sensitive skin, at least it dint burn my skin or what. I've tried DHC, la roche posay etc pimple cream (im going to review them soon), but none work as well as skinvitals.

I've scarring problem all along. Bigger zits gave me red scars :( no matter what pimple cream i used, this problem persists, though i dint squeeze them or do anything funny to them. skinvitals dint help with my scarring problem, but i guess with an effective pimple gel, can reduce the chances of inflammation, and hopefully scar wont be as red.

Verdict: I am very satisfied with this pimple gel. Reasonably priced and really effective than all others that i've tried so far. 10/10

Review: Skinvitals Eye Brighten




Bought this eye mask when i was crazy over skinvitals stuff a few months back.
managed to find those single pack ones at kovan watsons. they were selling for $2.95/pair. Its going at around $13.95 for 3pairs (box). As usual, they will be frequent discounts for skinvitals, so usually we should be able to get the box at $9.95.

skinvitals eye brighten (5ml) is an anti dark circles, brightening and invigorating cloth eye treatment mask. It contains vitamin C (bottom half of list) and licorice (5th on the list). From the ingredient list, I also see lemon extract, ginger root oil. No fragrance and alcohol.

Vitamin C has preservative and anti-oxidant properties, to moisturize, smooth fine line, boost the complexion and brighten skin tone. licorice known to have toning and firming qualities. it has soothing and rejuvenating benefits too.


Effects:
As usual, for eye masks that are in sheet form, they are found together in the packet, sticking onto each other, with no other plastic or what. So i've to separate them myself. I find it quite troublesome cos once i take them out, attempt to stick one of them on my eye area, I've got nowhere to put the other sheet. So i usually rest them on my leg oops. Maybe i should cut open the packet so that its wide enough for me to rest my the other sheet next time.

the mask is quite big so i tend to fold them half in case they touch my face and give me zits etc. This is one of the main reason why i prefer eye sheet mask cos i can fold them to whatever shape i want haha!

The mask is quite wet, but not to the extent of dripping all over my face. There is still quite alot of essence left in the packet after taking out the mask. I cant really detect any scent.

I leave them on for around 15min, and my eye areas are significantly brighter! They look hydrated, with one of my deeper dehyration line under my right eye 'disappearing'. I hope it will be gone forever haha. The mask dint give me any bumps like DHC's.

I massage in the remaining essence and they were absorbed in within seconds.


Verdict: Price 7/10, Effects 8/10
Im quite satisfied with the mask except for the price. I will probably repurchase when its on sale again or when i have more budget :)

Review: Skinvitals C-Brighten Mask

After the great experience with Skinvitals T-Purify (though H-revive was disappointing), of cos ive to try their other masks!

Got it for $2.95/pc @ selected watsons (wisma, kovan etc). Usually i only see the 3 pc (box) one, selling @ $9.90 (sale), usual price at $13. If you're lucky enough, sometimes there will be 3+1 mask for $9.90. Only stock up when there is sale, freq discount for these masks!


Its the C-Brighten mask this time round, a 3-in-1 mask, for Radiant, vitalizing & moisturising. its infused with concentrated serum of anti-oxidants & vitamins, moisturised skin & brighten it at the same time.


Contains vitamin C to brighten & moisturise, Ginger root to cleanse, purifying and stimulate skin regeneration.


Ingredients list (Part of it): Wine extract, soluble collagen, citric acid, rosa canina fruit oil, ginger root oil & vitamin C.


The mask was wet (25ml essence, not the v watery kind), material of the mask is smooth & cloth-like. Fits my face q well too.


Results: Face dint look exceptionally bright after removing mask at first. Face was still quite wet after massaging so i gotta wiped off excess serum with tissue. Face feel q smooth & moisturised. when i woke up next morning, face was not as oily, in fact, there was not much oil this morning. i was q shocked since this is not an oil control mask haha. face appeared brighter, was smooth as well. No new zits detected, and this mask dint irritate the zits on my face! In fact, my zits look soothed.


Verdict: 8.5/10 Quite an expensive mask to maintain in the long run, result was q good though.


最近爱上skinvitals的面膜,尤其是他们的T-Purify,对痘痘非常有效。尽管H-revive效果不怎么样,但是我还是买了这款的C-brighten来试一试。


在本地的Watsons能找到,同时都会有促销,3片$9.90。在少数的Watsons 如Kovan, Wisma的能找到单片装,1片$2.95。幸运的话,会遇上3+1 面膜$9.90。skinvitals常有促销活动,一定要等到大减价时才买


C-Brighten有滋润、亮白的效果。含有维生素C、姜( ginger root oil)、胶原蛋白等。姜能净化促进新陈代谢,维生素C除了能美白,也能滋润肌肤。


面膜有25ml的精华液(不是那种水水的),面膜质地很不错,敷贴性不错,大小也合我脸。


效果:按摩完后,脸上还有很多精华液,所以得用纸巾抹掉。敷完面膜,脸并没有看起来很亮白,但确实蛮滋润,滑滑的。隔天醒来,和平时比起来,脸一点也不油,可以说是没有油,让我相当惊讶,毕竟这不是控油面膜。脸相当红润,明显的亮白效果,脸滑滑的。高兴的是,我没发现新痘痘,而且这款面膜也不刺激我脸上原有的痘痘,甚至好像有舒缓效果,痘痘没那么红。


评分:8.5/10 将近$3/片,长期用起来蛮贵的,但效果确实很不错。

Review: Skinvitals H-Revive Mask

well, since i really love their T-purify, i decided to give their H-revive, hoping to get good results from it too.

same as t-purify, its selling at 3 for $9.90 a box at watsons, but at certain watson outlets u can get it at $2.95/pc.

on the pack, it states that the mask contains moisturising honey, anti-oxidant grapeseed oil, collagen, hydrating castor been oil & skin strenghtening wine extract. no added fragrance & alcohol.

the material of the mask is really good & smooth, though its slighly big, but probably bcos the mask is soaked with q a bit of essence and the cloth is really good, it fits my face nicely, even for the areas near my nose. there is a refreshing scent, i think its grapeseed, q mild, i q like it.

Results:
after using, 1 of my zit feel itchy, but it dint leave my face too sticky though. at first, my face feel moisturised, but it dint make my face feel smooth and soft enough. but after a couple of hours, my face dont feel as moisturised already.
i was once again disappointed with this mask. i bought it at first cos it was rated as the most moisturising mask at women’s wkly magazine. so i kinda pin high hopes on it..

Verdict: 4/10 i failed it cos for a mask tts nearly $3, i expect better results.


由于我对T-purify很满意,所以也很期待这品牌的H-Revive(滋润面膜),希望效果也一样好。

同样的,它能在Watson买到,3片$9.90,有时也会有促销,一片卖$2.95。

上述(英文)也提及了面膜主要成分,这款面膜无酒精,无香料。

面膜的质地很柔软,很不错,但有点大。不过可能是因为面膜真的有很多精华液,所以敷贴性还算不错。此外,面膜也有淡淡的味道,闻起来很清新,我蛮喜欢的。

结论:敷完后,其中一个痘痘觉得痒痒的,但还好面膜没有留下太油腻的感觉,脸很快就吸收了精华液。 刚开始,脸确实觉得很滋润,但却没有那种柔软和滑滑的感觉。 过了几个小时后,脸就不觉得滋润了,之前保湿的效果似乎消失了。 感觉很失望,当初买它是因为在杂志上看到它得奖,被选为最滋润的面膜,但没想到效果这么不理想。

评分:4/10 决定给予它这么低的评价是因为面膜价位算蛮贵的,但效果却不怎么样。

Review: Skinvitals T-Purify Mask


Skinvitals is available at Watson, its currently having a discount, 3 for $9.90, usu $12.90. they have discounts quite often, so do try to stock during sale!
its a Anti-spot Cleansing clarifying mask, with tea tree & rosemary.

Tea tree is well known for combating breakouts..Rosemary is for cleansing the skin, keepin skin healthy looking & Eucalyptus is for soothing, radiant & refreshing. Sounds gd right? there is soluble collagen for firming & toning too!

there is quite a bit of essence soaked in the mask (25ml), not to the extent of dripping though. material is towards cloth quality. the tea tree smell is abit strong at 1st. i dont realli like the smell actually, but luckily the smell went away after a couple of minutes. No fragrance, No alcohol added. Fits my face shape q nicely & eye area is big enuf. i dont really lk those mask with small “eye rings”, cos they will be too close to the sensitive eye areas.. may cause bumps too.
Result:
this is absolutely unbelievable!!! this mask is a godsend to me seriously! my zits shrink significantly in size trust me!! it became v much smaller, and yet my face look abit radiant & less oily at the same time!! to think i slept at 4am yest. they looked abit dried up & less red! im so impressed! skin does look clearer, pimples look calmer too. face is not smooth, is the clean-dish feeling.
Verdict: 10/10

Skinvitals 能在本地的Watson 买到,一盒(三片)$12.90,现在有特价,$9.90。他们常常有类似的促销活动。
这款是抗痘洁净面膜,含有茶树精油 (Tea Tree)、迷迭香精油 (Rosemary)和桉树
(Eucalyptus) 。
茶树有抗痘的作用,迷迭香精油有洁净的效果,桉树则有舒缓的作用,有清爽的感觉,也让脸色看起来更红润。听起来很棒吧!面膜还有胶原蛋白,有紧实的效果。
每片面膜有25ml 的精华液,分量刚好,不会滴得到处都是。面膜的质地也很不错,比普通的面膜好多了,滑滑的,也不会太薄,与布的质地相似。茶树精油的味道刚开始相当重,但过了几分钟后就没了。面膜无香料,也不含酒精。面膜的敷贴性也不错,符合我脸的尺寸。
结论:
效果超不可思议的!!用了一次后,隔天我的痘痘小了许多,也没那么红了。脸色也蛮红润,早上起来脸也没么油,很难想象昨晚我是凌晨4点才睡的。敷完后,脸不是那种滑滑的,是一种很干净的感觉。这款面膜真是太赞了!
