have you ever ..

come across a skincare product that gives you an immediate result ?

meet skinfood's fermented pomegranate whitening sleeping mask .

i actually picked this up while i was staying in korea earlier this year . if youre the type that likes to be tanned, DONT let the word 'whitening' in this stop you from this . when the SA recommended this as her favorite from skinfood, i actually shook my head cuz i love being tanned . no to any whitening products for me . so she explains that some of the whitening items that skinfood carries doesnt actually make your skin tone lighter, it makes your face BRIGHTER no matter what your skin tone is . it will NOT change your skin tone .


on their website it claims;
A skin-brightening sleeping mask containing arbutin and pomegranate ferment extract forms a protective layer onto skin. It provides continuous moisturization overnight and suppresses the formation of blemishes and dark spots, making skin look clear and radiant by morning.

* Use: After emulsion or essence, apply desired amount evenly onto face and gently massage to absorb.


i absolutely LOVE this and use this when i know i need my skin to be a little brighter and more awake in the morning . the first time i used this, i didnt expect much but when i looked in the mirror when i woke up the next morning, i was pleasantly surprised . i can actually see the difference .

how to use this;
this replaces your night cream . use it after your toner & essence/emulsion if you use any . its not very clear on the bottle, but youre ONLY suppose to use this TWICE a week . i hate to admit it but im pretty lazy when it comes to wash off masks . i hate waiting around with my face in a mask to wash off . but this, you just slather it on, sleep, and just wash it off when you wash your face in the morning . no waiting around, no extra steps !


PROS:
- immediate brightness & softness in the morning
- convenient; no extra step in your skin regime
- packaging; love the pump . it lets you control how much product you want
- the amount . 100g will last you a long time !
- moisturizing .
- cheap ! 10,000won which is a little less than $10 !
- smell . it has light floral scent, doesnt smell like pomegranate tho !

CONS:
- that bright skin you see in the morning is pretty temporary
- texture is thick, not oily or sticky tho ! feels just like any other gel masks
- doesnt absorb fast . might want to lay a towel on your pillow !


overall, i love this . its cheap and makes you look like you got 9 hours of sleep in the morning . :)
