Review on Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

Review on Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

       2 years ago, I bought Laneige Water Sleeping Mask because of the good reviews, and lately I also learnt that it actually won Glowpick Consumer Beauty Award. Is it really that good? Let's continue reading to find out.

According to Laneige, this water sleeping mask has:

a. Skin purifying effect:

Their SLEEP-TOX™ technology’s purifying effects help rejuvenate skin that is often fatigued and sensitized by stress during the day. It helps the skin to look well-rested the next morning.

b. Skin moisturizing: 

The dense beta-glucan moisturizing shield (network) consists of active agents such as Hydro Ion Mineral Water, evening primrose root extract, Hunza apricot extracts, and more, to help skin fully absorb the goodness during 8 hours of sleep.

c. Skin soothing: 

Contains skin-soothing agents that are gentle on sleeping skin, helping it recover overnight. Non-comedogenic, sensitivity tested.

d. Aromatic SLEEPSCENT™

SLEEPSCENT™ specially developed for Laneige Water Sleeping Mask is an AMOREPACIFIC original, allowing skin to relax and rest and boosting its ability to regenerate.

It is suitable for these types of skin:
-Normal 

- Oily
- Combination
- Dry
- Sensitive

Directions

After cleansing and applying toner and emulsion, dispense an appropriate amount, about 2.5cm in diameter, and apply on the tip of the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin in dots; breathe in the scent for 3 seconds. Then, spread gently along the texture of your face using outward strokes.After the product is absorbed into skin, leave it on overnight without washing the face. (Wash the face the next morning.) Use 2-3 times a week. You can apply a little more when your skin feels dry.

Performance

It is light blue in colour, with gel-like texture.

     First of all, I would like to emphasise that everyone has different skin, so our skin would react differently to the product. For me, I don't think its performance is anything life-changing. 

     I did not see any changes in my skin even after applying it for weeks. Initially I wondered, is it because my skin is not dry enough for it to show its effect? is it because I'm living in a tropical country that is hot and humid, so water sleeping mask doesn't show much effect? These questions are silly, I know, but I was just wanting to like it as much as other people. Then, I went to Hokkaido for vacation, which climate was cold and super drying. To prove that Laneige Water Sleeping Mask really has that skin moisturising effect as it claims, I applied every night. Disappointingly, my face was dry and flaky. I guess Laneige Water Sleeping Mask is not for me. :(

     Well, but to look at the bright side, it 'might' have that skin purifying and skin soothing effect that were not obvious enough, I do like the aromatic sleep scent, it has gel-like texture that is not greasy and it did not cause any breakout. 

In short, 

 Pros:

• nice scent
• not greasy
• did not cause breakout
• affordable ( RM120)

Cons: 

• hydrating effect was not enough
• Skin condition did not improve 

Will I repurchase it? No.
