[Review] SKINLITE Self-Heating Massage Cream

SKINLITE Self-Heating Massage Cream is designed to help pores cleanse deeply. It has a special formulation to heat up instantly after being applied on your face, like a hot towel treatment. In just 60 seconds, you can experience the unique deep cleansing feeling of a heated mask. Simply wet your face and apply Self-Heating Massage Cream. Instantly, the cream warms up on your face. Self-Heating Massage Cream leaves your skin clean, smooth, and refreshed.

My take:

The box contains 6 packets and each packet can last up to 2 applications, but that has to depend on how much you use per application.

I like that the pack has a narrow neck so that when you squeeze out the cream, it is less messy than the other products which has a big opening.

The cream heats up nicely when you massage your face with it. For people who does not like it to be very hot, this is definitely for you. However, for people who enjoy a more intense heating sensation, I would not recommend this. You will like it, but not love it. Personally I love a more intense heating sensation, that's why I would rather get the Montagne Jeunesse Red Hot Earth Sauna Masque anytime.

The smell of the massage cream is frankly, not good at all. It smells really weird and I don't even know how to start describing it. I just know that it isn't floral or fruity scents, and it's not fully a chemical smell. So even by elimination, I have no idea what to say about the smell.

After rinsing the cream with warm water, my skin feels really clean. Not the refreshed kind of cleam, but just feels...clean. That's the thing I like about the cream. I'm not sure whether it gets rid of the blackheads because luckily for me, I never had such a problem.

In a nutshell, I would not repurchase this, simply because the smell is a big big turn-off for me. Luckily for me, I got this at a Sasa sale at Great World City for only $2 so that was a great deal. Considering how many times you can use it and that it really cleanses your face, I totally got my money's worth :)

[Review] SKINLITE Vital Nourishing Red Ginseng Mask

Again, I'm going to review something which I did not buy from Hong Kong. It is this SKINLITE Vital Nourishing Red Ginseng Mask

The product claims that it is specially formulated with high concentrations of Oriental Red Ginseng, Collagen and Vitamin E which help to revitalize and nourish tired skin. It penetrates deep into the skin, providing abundant nutrition and moisture.

My take:

The smell of ginseng is quite strong from the mask. However, because I'm rather a huge fan of scents or fragrances and herbs in general, I was pleased with the smell. The scent was strong but it wasn't sickeningly strong, so that was definitely a plus for me. However, if you do not like oriental herbs and their smell, you might want to stay clear away from this.

The material of the mask was less than thrilling. Even though the packet said that the mask is made out of 100% pulp, I did not like the fact that the sheet was thinner than most sheet masks.

There was a lot of essence or serum or whatever you call it in the package. If you use it straight from the packet, the essence will drip all over and it will be very messy. Before I used mine, I squeezed out some of the essence from the mask and then proceed to using it. There is a lot of excess essence which I managed to use like a skin serum. So it is a very economical mask.

The mask claims to add moisture into your skin, but my skin didn't feel any more moist than before I used the mask. I did feel more revitalized but I'm guessing that was due to the strong scent of the mask.

I like the brand because they have many ranges and types of masks, so there is something for everyone. However, I would not repurchase any of their products because from my experience with SKINLITE, even before writing reviews here, I have noticed that SKINLITE products hardly deliver their claims, save for a few products. To me, SKINLITE masks are just feel-good products which I use only because I feel like using but not because of their functions.

I bought this at a sale by Sasa at Great World City for S$1.95.
