Skin Republic 2 Step Face Mask Hyaluronic Acid + Collagen

I've used many brands of facial sheet masks in recent years, and this is the 1st one I've tried from Skin Republic. I noticed that it's made in Korea, so I had high expectations that it would be a quality, effective product - Korean skincare is taking the world by storm, for a good reason, they make incredible quality skincare products.\n\nHoused in an individual silver foil packet that contains 25mls of product, the mask is soaked in an anti-ageing serum that contains Hyaluronic Acid and other ingredients designed to boost natural collagen levels.\n\nFirst impressions were that this indeed was a quality mask - it was soaked in the active serum and very easy to unfold. I really liked that the mask wasn't attached to a plastic sheet or two, unlike some other masks ... MoreI've used many brands of facial sheet masks in recent years, and this is the 1st one I've tried from Skin Republic.

I really liked that the mask wasn't attached to a plastic sheet or two, unlike some other masks I've tried. \n\nThe mask material was soft, thick, and had good sized holes for eyes, nose and mouth. It was very easy to apply properly and fit to my facial contours.\n\nI left it on for around 20 minutes, and found it didn't irritate my skin at all, or make my sensitive tzone area itch. So many other masks do for me, but not this one.\n\n When I removed it, I still had a decent coating of the serum which I pressed into my skin. This remaining serum felt silky smooth and wasn't at all sticky.\n\nI then applied my usual night cream, noticing how lovely and plump my skin looked and felt - always a sign of a quality face mask in my books.\n\nI'd happily repurchase this, and will look to buy other masks Skin Republic make, I notice they have a really decent range for face, hands and feet. \n\nVery highly recommended for anyone wanting a serious moisture boost for their complexion.\n

The Skin Republic Hyaluronic Acid Collagen face mask is housed in an opaque foil sachet. To open just tear at the 'v' cutout on the top sides of the sachet.\n\nInside is a single sheet mask folded and soaked in gel serum. Its a breeze to unfold the sheet mask and apply to my freshly cleansed face. The sheet mask feels soft yet is thick and strong. I align the eye, nose and mouth cutouts in the sheet mask to the corresponding features on my face. Since I want the sheet mask to come in contact with my skin I mold the mask to my face and press away any air bubbles trapped by the sheet mask. The sheet mask stays molded to my face but I would say talking, eat or drinking is not ideal because the sheet does come undone along the jawline if I make any movements of my jaw. ... MoreThe Skin Republic Hyaluronic Acid Collagen face mask is housed in an opaque foil sachet.

The sheet mask stays molded to my face but I would say talking, eat or drinking is not ideal because the sheet does come undone along the jawline if I make any movements of my jaw. Its a good reason to just pop some music on, close your peepers and relax for a bit when masking with sheet masks. \n\nThere is a slight floral scent which isn't overpowering or irritating. My skin feels cool and hydrated as soon as I apply the sheet mask which is refreshing in the summertime. The clear gel serum feels bouncy and a bit tacky which makes sense because hyaluronic acid does tend to feel tacky/sticky. Hyaluronic acid is one of the top ingredients on the ingredients list. I was a bit worried the serum might drip but I had no issues with any drippings. When I apply the mask to my face I apply any excess serum to my neck, decolletage and the backs of my hands. \n\nThe only downside is that the sheet is a bit bigger than my face so the sheet messes up my hairline. In my experience its best to apply this mask the night before and let the serum work its magic overnight before washing my hair in the morning. The serum has a tacky/sticky feel which some might not like and it does tend to make my face look shiny. But since I mask at night I'm ok with it because no body is going to see me while I sleep. \n\nThe serum has hydrating and anti aging properties and the product instructions suggest to use the mask twice a week for a month before expecting any results. After the initial month its suggested to use the mask as needed which I do now that I'm past the first month. My skin feels hydrated and is flake free since I have been using this mask. There is a slight improvement in the fine lines near my eye area and makeup glides on well after using this mask. \n\nAt $7.99 it is a pricey mask initially because you're instructed to put it on twice a week for a month but after that you're in maintenance phase so you don't need to apply the mask as often. It is an investment but my skin is the only one I have so I don't mind investing in products that work. \n\nTip: For a refreshing cool feel, stick the sachet in the fridge for at least 30 mins before applying (especially in the hot summer months)\n\nPro \nHyaluronic acid hydrates and helps generate collagen \nSheet mask feels cool and refreshing esp during hot summer months \nSkin feels soft and smooth after applying mask serum overnight \nSerum is hydrating on its own and I don't need to follow serum up with moisturiser \n\nCon \nParfum/fragrance \nSerum has slight sticky/tacky feel \n\n

I got this sheet mask as part of my Priceline skincare goody bag. Even though I am mask mad, I was reluctant to try this mask after finding another Skin Republic sheet mask (Collagen Infusion) very sticky and tacky and I did not enjoy the experience. This one is indeed completely different!\n\nI used this after cleansing and toning my skin. The mask is packaged in a silver foil packet and is entirely covered in a light liquid serum. The sheet itself is soft and very thick and felt very pleasant on the skin. The sheet fit very well, however was slightly short on the forehead for me as I do have a high forehead so I just spread the serum to the areas where the sheet did not reach. \n\nI left this on for 20 mins - the packaging recommends 15-20mins.

The sheet did fit very well and did not slip around so I could continue to move about whilst I had it on. After I took the sheet off, I tapped the serum onto my skin to absorb further. My skin was glowing from the serum and afterwards my skin looked radiant. My skin, particularly my hands felt super soft as I do suffer from dry hands so it felt really nourishing on my dry skin. My face did still feel slightly tacky from the serum but I find this a common trait of most serums and was not overly sticky and uncomfortable.\n\nIt didn't do much for my fine lines however it would be a miracle if it did after just one application. There is potential for continued use to produce more dramatic results.\n

Felt gross and irritated my sensitive skin

The first thing I realised after unfolding the mask was that it would not fit my face properly. Now, I don't have an exceptionally small face -at least I don't think so- but all the holes were in the wrong place so I ended up adjusting it to wrinkle up some of the excess material. Once on it felt super gross and cold and slimy. After about 10 minutes it felt like my skin was starting to burn - I have sensitive skin- so I took it off before the time was up. Skin was maybe a little smoother, but also redder. In conclusion I would not recommend this mask if you have sensitive skin or a normal-to-small sized face.

Five star home facial for a fiver, well worth it.

This is a single use sheet mask. The serum is soaked on the fabric that you place on your face for about twenty minutes. It is very simple to apply as the mask has eyes, nose and lips. I actually had mascara on and it stayed in place no problem. The feeling is not unpleasant though it feels weirdly cold and wet. When I removed it I placed it on my neck and decolletage, all the while having some of the serum on the back of my hands. Half an hour later my usually dry skin felt ultra moisturised and really comfortable. I do not have deep wrinkles and I am not really bothered about them anyway, but I do like it when my skin is not feeling tight just very moisturised with my skin glowing in an ultra natural way. I just loved it and I went out an hour or so later feeling ... MoreThis is a single use sheet mask. The serum is soaked on the fabric that you place on your face for about twenty minutes.

I just loved it and I went out an hour or so later feeling fantastic all night. The next day I am not sure how noticeable the effect was, but I am glad I used it and though it is too expensive for me to use regularly I definitely think it is worth it for a special occasion to get a real, relaxing salon facial treatment.

Great Results!

This is my favourite mask by far! I love the 1st step gel cleanser which literally picks up all of the dead skin cells and dirt off your face,you can feel it accumulate and gather into little granules leaving behind flawlessly smooth deeply cleansed skin. After putting the mask on for about 30 minutes and not rinsing the serum i rubbed it in, although it felt sticky once it dried up my skin was firm, glowing and fresh! I will be purchasing this in bulk while it is on special, highly recommend !

Love this 2 step product

I was super excited to give this mask a try. I love that it's a 2 step product. Step 1 is a double action microdermabrasion and peel with fruit enzymes. This wasn't to harsh on my skin and lifted away all the dead skin to reveal more youthful glowing skin. Rinse skin and your ready for step 2. Step 2 is the sheet mask itself. Very cooling- would be perfect for Summer. The mask has been soaked in serum to boost your skin's youthful appearance, lifts and firms and makes skin feel super hydrated. Leave on for 20-30 and remove mask. My skin felt very soft and plump after using and the days following. Perfect to do just before bed. After you have removed the mask massage the excess serum into your skin. Leave on- dont rinse off. I also like to massage the serum into my ... MoreI was super excited to give this mask a try.

You will wake up with beautiful glowy skin.

Skin feels great!

Skin feels great! First time using this mask as I bought the entire Skin Republic face mask range & I found it good with my skin clearly showing a glow the next day. I will definitely buy more & continue with the recommended applications on back of pack!

This product works!!

I've recommended this product to family, close friends and facebook acquaintances! Best product eva ...really gives your skin a much needed refresh, and BOOST. Especially good after a hard days work, taking care of kids, or before going out !! Cheap as well! PS. I don't work for this company or spruik for this cosmetic company. But these products are awesome...try using all of the products twice a week...after all you shouldn't skimp on taking care of your skin! The eye masks are a great investment as well.

Tiny beads as exfoliator

I love skin republic, I have used all their masks, first their masks are now biodegradable, love it. But this one here, it’s step 1 is a exfoliant, with tiny beads, not my favourite. Mask is good, it’s just that, even if the beads were tiny amount, I did not like it. I have two more of this to go, I will use it but, wish they will take out the bead and just put fruit enzyme. But mask is fantastic.
