 My thoughts

I bought this because it was on promotions and it has a super adorable packaging!

~PACKAGING~

Simply adorable :)

~SCENT~

It has a strong perfume scent! I did not like it.

~TEXTURE~

Just like jelly or gel

~PRODUCT~

It is very easy to spread. The texture is quite light. No allergic reaction. It is a little difficult to wash off (after scraping). This is not hydrating enough for my dry skin. As for the brightening effect, I think it is not bad. Quite obvious upon first usage. I did not notice any firming effect but my skin is no longer dull looking. I think this is quite good.

Pros

Easy to spread

No allergic reaction

Brightening effect is obvious

Skin is smoother, brighter and softer

Cons

Strong scent

Difficult to wash off
Not hydrating

Repurchase?

Not so sure... The scent puts me off...

Recommendation?

I do recommend this to those who are interested in trying out jelly mask as it is more affordable...

Review: Hanaka Charcoal Pores Reduce Facial Mask

Friday, May 22, 2015

I love masks of all sort, skincare in general jelly masks these days!!!
Well, maybe it is because of Annie's Way jelly mask... I fell in love with them...
The price is much more expensive now (in Malaysia) so I need to look for substitutes...

This is one of the substitute!

Look at the packaging!
I like it so much :)
It is so simple and cute at the same time.

The seal was already broken when I opened the lid but luckily there was no spillage

Since everything is in Chinese, I had to borrow the information from IMOMOKO.

Description
* Charcoal ingredients nourish the skin
* Deep cleansing
* Tranexamic acid firming and whitening
* Good color shiny muscle (no idea what this means...)

The mask is so black and thick!
RM 49 for 250ml from Nattacosme

Ingredients
Bamboo Charcoal Powder, Applephenon, Witch Hazel Extract, Tranexamic Acid, Cucumber Extract, Aloe Vera Extract, Morus Bombycis Root

The mask up close

Directions
Cleanse skin, spread a layer over skin and leave it on for 30 minutes, then rinse it off
Use 1-2 times a week

The mask on my face!
I applied quite a thick layer...
I scrape it off before washing it...

My thoughts 

The scent is pretty strong. As usual, I am so bad at describing the scent. It is has a very chemical kind of scent (if you know what I mean)... Forget it, let's just stick to the scent is pretty strong, ok? The mask is a little sticky. It is a little difficult to spread and it is a pain to wash it off. No allergic reaction at all and very cooling on face. After washing off, face is softer and smoother. Pores were smaller although it is not very obvious. Face also appears to be a little brighter.

Pros
:) Affordable
:) No allergic reaction
:) Pores were smaller
:) Skin is hydrated and brighter

Cons
:( Scent is strong
:( Sticky which makes it difficult to spread
:( Pain to wash off

Rating:
Repurchase: Most probably yes... if I am hardworking la... 30 mins is pretty long...
