pure smile soybean essence mask

when i went to japan, i bought several masks. i didn't buy more pure smile masks mainly because i haven't got the chance to try it first before going to japan. so i was hesitate that it might disappointing. so i just bought couple more types that i found. this one is one of them.

the description from their website: a face mask containing 1,2% soy isoflavone extract is on display! it prevents rough skin, firmly tightens your skin. suitable for all dry and greasy skin! since vitamin e and collagen is also blended, it gives you tension to the tanned skin.
(it might sound weird since it's translated via google)

the packaging: it comes in regular sachet, white background with the picture of the main ingredient at front. at the back there are descriptions in japanese. and also the number and name of all masks from pure smile (unfortunately it's in japanese).

the scent: it doesn't smell like soybean, unlike sana facial wash. this one smells floral, but not too fragrant though.

the product: it's made of medium thickness cotton. if you're used to taiwan mask sheet, then this one will fall on thicker side for you. but if you're used to korean mask sheet, than this one might feel the same. and if you're used to japanese masks, especially the one that's meant for daily use, then this one is slightly thicker. the fit is the same as the rest of this line. it has okay fit for me, but weird bottom eye flaps which is annoying and nose slit that i think it's useless. the essence is clear type and just enough. at first it feels like it soaks perfectly, but after around 10-15 minutes the edges will start to dry.

the result: i have to say that among all the other that i've tried so far, this one is the one that i like better. it's moisturising enough, soothing and also brightening. the effect can be seen almost instantly. and the next morning i can still see it's still brighten my face. but don't hope too much. it's just temporary effect as usual. oh, and it doesn't break me out.

overall, it's an okay mask to try out. it's cheap, and it works for daily use. don't expect too much as this mask is intended to use daily to get best results. this is not "one night wonder" type mask that you can use before special event. i also think it might suit most skin types.
