Glowing Skin With Precious Skin Thailand Extra Gluta White Collagen Mask Review

Precious Skin Extra Gluta White Collagen Mask

Bought for: Super sale at P11/each | SRP: P70+

Bought from: an online shop

Recently, I reviewed Precious Skin Thailand Extra Pure Gluta White Soap which I use in conjunction with these bleaching masks which I bought last time when Shopee had this 11-peso sale for some random items. It was not my intention to try Precious Skin Thailand products, in fact, that was the first time I encounter the aforementioned brand. But since it opened up opportunity to try a Thai skincare product, I bought these and what else can I lose aside from a crazy few bucks, right?

When I bought all 9 masks. apart from the soap and a few eyebrow products, I didn't know they were so close to the expiration date--February 16, 2018. The seller and I came to an agreement and she was nice enough to tell me she had no idea that the batch was about to expire this year. She was apologetic and told me she'll have it refunded and I could get to keep the masks in compensation. I don't think I'm supposed to use all these like every day but since I don't have a choice (I don't want them to go to waste anyway), I emptied all 9 boxes in a span of 2 weeks! I know that review will be much more accurate that way, although I admit, I didn't consider the side effects. I just realized that thinking about those is just a waste of time for I hadn't experience one!

Claims

Intensive whitening body mask with Glutathione and Nano Collagen Extracts, which help to whiten and firm your skin effectively. Within only 20 minutes, your skin will be permanently whiten.

Packaging

Packaging is very simple--the box displays all necessary information and the product itself is enclosed in a gold sachet that can be tore off easily. It displays the claims and ingredients written in English which I really do appreciate. Some manufacturers seem to forget they have international users too. The short list of ingredients surprises me as well for I know I'm not putting a lot of chemicals on my skin. One sachet is good for the whole body.

Scent, Texture and Ease of Application

The mask comes in a creamy, white formula like a mousse and blends easily on the skin. It washes off easily as well without any trace of white cast. Upon application, you'll feel the soft, creamy lather that smells so yummy. I love it as much as I love the scent of the counterpart soap!

Performance

Before I delve into the product's performance, let me tell you that you have to use bleaching masks with caution. Masks like this contains some strong chemicals that may not be suitable for sensitive skin or make it more sensitive to the sun just like most whitening products. So if you are quite sensitive to one or a few chemicals on the ingredients list, better do a patch test first. How? Put a small amount on the inner lower arm, let the mask sit there overnight and if you develop bumps, redness and itchiness or any other signs of allergic reactions, better not to proceed applying it to the rest of your body.

I didn't experience any redness though upon application so it's either my skin isn't as sensitive or that the product is just gentle enough for every day use. What I notice though is that a few minutes after application, my skin felt some mild tingling sensation on my arms and legs. I refrain from scratching as this might aggravate the itchiness or worse caused cuts and bruises. I actually thought it won't suit my skin but I held on and waited until 20 minutes of my soaking's up. I pat my skin dry after rinsing everything and immediately did a thorough checkup should there be any redness but there was none.

I noticed that every application, the tingling sensation lessened a bit and figured out it might be because of the active ingredients working to brighten the skin. After using all 9 boxes, using it either everyday or every other day depends if time permits, I didn't experience any long-term redness, itchiness or even breakouts. I even tried the mask on my face one time and it wasn't stingy at all! I just stopped putting it on my face at first use because this product is very drying. I expected it even before committing to trying so I wasn't so surprised. Good thing, I had a heavy-duty moisturizer at home so I can easily put a remedy to dry skin after bath.

So was it effective?

Yes, it is! My skin hasn't lightened significantly but using 9 sachets yielded me a brighter skin complexion that is at least a tone lighter. Do take note that I don't leave the mask very long sometimes because I'm late for work (and I abhor wrinkled skin during bath) but still I noticed that my skin became softer, brighter and pinkish after every use! My skin became much more even toned (especially my wrist area) though not so completely but it's already a huge feat to begin with especially using an affordable product. Using these religiously will surely yield a really nice result if you don't mind spending for high maintenance product and that if you are patient enough. I like my skincare fast and easy so I couldn't commit to using these often--once a week for me would be enough if I want to get rid of dull skin.

If you have a lot of time to spare for skincare products, this one if perfect to use! It's worth a reasonable amount of money and is effective all the same!

Review: Sooper Beaute Bleaching Compound

Hey, guys. It's a lil bit devastating that I can't think of a proper introduction for my blog post right now. So I guess I just had to skip through introduction and proceed with my review about Sooper Beaute's Bleaching Compound that I just bought recently and one of my splurges of the month. (Isn’t it an introduction already? Phew.)

If I am to comment about the packaging, well, I must say that at first look, you won't think of it as something luxurious or expensive. There's nothing special about the packaging too. It might need a little bit of change though. I don't like the sticker, maybe they should try to make it at least printed on the cover of the tub. However, the packaging does not bother me as it won't affect the content inside naman.

I got two tubs since the moment I purchase it, it was on a Buy 1, Take 1. One tub retails for PHP850. It's quite expensive, yeah sort of, but the 100g of the product is enough to last a long time and longer depending on how and where you use it. Suppose you are just using it on your underarms or bikini area (which you can), a tub would approximately lasts up to 6 months since a little of the formula goes a long way already. Longevity wise, this is worth the price.

The expiration date is written on the plastic seal and it says that it is good for less than a year. This is just one of the disadvantages that you can get from using products formulated with 100% natural ingredients. They expire faster since they have the littlest preservatives (to none). However, it does not bother me as I think I could finish the tub before it expires. Or can I? I just said earlier that a little goes a long way!!! Anyway, I’m gonna apply it all over my body to save time. LOL. You don’t want any waste of the product, do you?

Just like what I have said, it can be used ALMOST everywhere on your body. I asked the saleslady, Miss Anna, if I could apply the product on my face and she said no. I was a bit disappointed so to make sure, I vibe their online shop and asked the same thing, and they replied, “Yes, you can.”

The consistency of the formula is rich although it has only seven (7) ingredients written at the base of the tub. This is good for me as I can guarantee that there is less chemicals in the compound. I don’t need to worry whether there are harmful chemicals or none. Anyway, anything much does real harm, right?

The texture’s seem to be like that of a whip cream. It smells mild and good with a hint of baby powder(?). I guess it really is concentrated as there are minimal ingredients and it tends to sting my face (but not my body) a bit. The pain is tolerable though. It stings maybe because I am also using their cell renewal cream (peeling cream) alternately with the bleaching compound.

Upon application, you’ll notice that the formula is hard to blend and apply resulting to sharp edges and would cling to your epidermal layers. Again it would not bother me as I apply it as a night mask for my body (including my face) and nobody would see me like an espasol by that time. Haha. I guess bleaching creams are like that, no?

The white cast on your skin would give it a brightened complexion although you may find it a bit drying since it aim to remove mild scarring. It needs scrubbing as well as you can't just easily remove the product by just washing your skin with soap.

Application: I would let the formula stay on my skin overnight and would eventually wash it off the next morning. I do it every other day as advised by the saleslady of Sooper Beaute.

Key Ingredients: Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Beta Hydroxy Acids which ‘exfoliate the skin, reduce the look of wrinkles, smoothens uneven and pigmented skin and stimulate the growth of elastin and collagen (both of which depleted with age’).

After a week’s use, I can say that this product brightens my skin. I don’t have that many scar on my body (mostly are pimple and acne marks) so my only concern is the uneven akin tone I got long ago from my swimming class and staying under the sun without protective sun screens although when it comes to the miniscule scar on my left thigh, I notice that it hasn’t lightened a bit. Maybe I should apply the product on affected areas only or areas which needed more lightening to notice results apart from other parts of my body.

All in all, this is a good product. Maybe, I just have to continuously use it to notice more significant effects. After all, a week isn’t too soon to judge the product, right? I'll update you anyway.

So I recommend this product to anyone who wanted a product that can be applied even on the most sensitive parts of the body and to those who wanted to use a bleaching cream which is safe to use since it is paraben and hydroquinone free.
