i bought several pure smile masks when i went to japan last year. i only grab a few since i don't quite like the other variants that my husband has bought me before. let me remind you that perhaps pure smile might be falls short especially if you have been pampered by taiwanese mask or korean mask. mostly because japanese masks are tend to be use daily. that's why don't expect this mask to be miraculous in one night.
the description from prettyandcute.com: pure smile essence mask in pearl helps to boost metabolism and brighten overall skin tone. containing pearl powder, a key ingredient used in this mask, also helps with discoloration and dark spots. arbutin is included on the ingredient list which is well know for whitening skin complexions! moisturizing and clearing away dead skin cells this mask is great for giving you that radiating glow.
the packaging: it comes in regular sachet just like the rest from this line. it's white and have the main ingredient pictured at front. there's a description at the back, but since it's japanese, everything is written in japanese so i cannot read any of them.
the scent: recently i read someone mentioned it being fragrance free, but in my opinion, it has subtle scent. but very subtle that it won't bother you when you put that mask on your face.
the product: the material is thick cotton, similar to korean mask, but thicker than taiwanese masks. the fit is similar to other variants from this brand. as i've mentioned it probably from other posts, that i admire the consistency of this brand for making the fit is similar for each variants. i've tried several masks from etude and the fit is different for each type. this one just like the rest, have eye flaps which are useless. it has slits to adjust the mask to your face better. the essence is clear and enough for one time usage.
the result: the moment i put it on, i can feel the cooling sensation. after putting it on for about 15-20 minutes, it will dry out and i don't need to wait before continuing to the next step because the essence is completely absorbed. it hydrates my skin but i can still use my serum and night cream afterward. usually when the mask is too heavy, i will skip a step. so honestly, it doesn't feel special. the next morning i can see my face is slightly brightened, but obviously it's just temporary.
again, pure smile masks will disappoint you if you're hoping for one night wonder. it is nice to keep one for daily use, or for hydration boost in the morning. but if you're hoping for something stronger, for heavy duty or special occasion, then definitely skip it. again, price wise, it won't hurt your wallet from trying one or two since it's very cheap.
