Laneige Time Freeze Firming Sleeping Mask
Bought for: P1,600 (60ml)
Bought from: Althea Korea
While I'm waiting for the next episode release of Hi, Bye Mama on Netflix, I'll just write this long overdue blog post about Laneige Time Freeze Firming Sleeping Mask which I got from Althea Korea a few months back. You know that I love Laneige and this is a product under their Time Freeze skincare line that you ought to try especially if your concern is dry, aging skin.
CLAIMS
Laneige Time Freeze Firming Sleeping Mask is an anti-aging sleeping mask that improves skin firmness and facial contours overnight for a more youthful-looking face. It has Dynamic Collagen_EX technology or anti-aging elasticity technology that targets 5 signs of aging - dryness, skin texture, fine wrinkles, pore elasticity, and skin tone. It also upgraded from shape-memory content to net-structured shape-memory content. The technology fills sagging skin with elasticity factors with the combination of shape-memory polymer and natural high molecules and firms up for long hours filled-up skin whose elasticity may become poor due to lack of sleep.
This product is advised to be used with Laneige Time Freeze Face Fit Roller which you can buy separately for about twice the price of the sleeping mask. I didn't bother getting one for myself because knowing Laneige, their products are quite on the high-end range. With this saying, I wouldn't be able to tell you how was it with the roller. Ideally though, the product should work on its own. There's just too much information and science vocabularies to take in which I am honestly not good at. However, it all boils down to the fact that this product is intended for those who are aiming for a more youthful skin.

PACKAGING
I've always love the sleek, high-end looking packaging of every Laneige products. They do spend a few extra to make their products aesthetically pleasing and definitely marketable. One thing I do notice is that they are not very travel-friendly because of the frozen glass and thick plastic that is easily damaged when mishandled.
Laneige Time Freeze Firming Sleeping Mask comes with a spatula for hygiene reasons. I always end up misplacing them though so I don't have too many options other than using clean fingers.
SCENT, TEXTURE AND CONSISTENCY
This sleeping mask has a very subtle scent which I like because my skin is kind of sensitive to products that are heavily scented. It has a nice creamy and soft texture and is kind of thick so a little would go a long way. Those with oily skin like me should use a little bit less than the required amount so as not to end up having super greasy skin. I don't think it would matter very much anyway because we'll just let it be as we sleep. It just depends on your skin type how you'd play with it.
PERFORMANCE
I am using an exfoliant right now so my skin peels every now and then. I couldn't use other products in my stash because they burn probably because they have alcohol or the ingredients aren't that compatible to that of the exfoliant's. I love the fact that Laneige Time Freeze Firming Sleeping Mask is able to tame down irritation and itchiness as it keeps my skin moisturized. It also helps in faster healing of the exfoliated, sensitive skin. Back when I wasn't using the exfoliant, this sleeping mask keeps my skin supple, smooth and elastic. My skin looks renewed after washing my face in the morning and it's able to also lessen puffiness. I'm still in my early 20s but using anti-aging products is one of the things I do to keep wrinkles and fine lines at bay.
You can use this product on your face, skin around the eyes and neck to slow down the skin's natural aging process and to soften the look of every imperfections on your face. It just don't work on acne and pimples so you might want to incorporate a different product to target those problems. You're lucky if you don't grow these bumps on your skin but I do. That's why I am using this product together with stronger acids to balance my routine.
Overall, I really like using Laneige Time Freeze Firming Sleeping Mask though the only thing that bothers me is the pricey tag. I tried checking if there are trial packs of this and great news, there are! That's more economical so I think I'd stock up when I have the chance. If budget is never an issue, go splurge for this product. It truly would help you with dryness and sagging skin.
