Part of SK-II’s whitening regimen, SK-II Whitening Source Derm-Revival Mask offers radiance and moisture boosting treatment. I was expecting it to be of a thin texture but it is actually rather thick. It has eye flaps so even eyelids receive the benefits of the serum. The product description states that the mask be left on for 15 minutes but I left it on for 50 minutes as the mask was still moist.
The result is a glow to skin and definitely a lot more moisture to the extent that my skin felt hydrated without the need for moisturiser. I guess the mask has to be used with the rest of SK-II’s whitening skincare in order to see more positive results like diminishing of pigmentation.
Review is based on a sample of the mask.
Looks really moisturizing
Hahaha. I am basically laughing hysterically when i read the why waste such expensive mask. Sound like me who love to put the mask very long on the face.
Same here, I always leave the mask on my face over 15 mins. And SK-II brand is quite expensive.
Corrine,
In fact from what I have been studying in engineering, 15-20 min will be the best timing for face mask to hydrate and moisture your face.In the 1st 15-20 min, water and nutrients will be transported from mask sheet to skin cells. However, If the mask is placed more than 20 min on our face, water and moisture will be carried away from our skin cell into the mask sheet instead. So if we left mask on face for more than 20 min, we will make our skin dry instead.
You have a good point. I have also heard that placing mask on the face for longer than 20 mins is more drying than hydrating but too kiasu to follow that advice.
Haha! yaya I also have the kiasu-ness mentality for most of the time XD
