Product & Shop

I was sent this  Elizavecca  Milky Piggy 24K Gold Waterdew Snail Mask Pack Sheet in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own, as always.

Elizavecca has been developing and selling products for more than 20 years. Elizavecca isn't a new brand for me. I've tried a few products of theirs, including plenty of their assorted Power Ringer masksGreen Piggy Collagen Jella Pack Pig MaskElizavecca Donkey Piggy Steam Cream Mask Packand Elizavecca Kangsi Pack earlier.  Elizavecca products are manufactured and sold by MIZ Tread Co., LTD.

The mask claims to contain 24k gold and snail mucin filtrate along with hazel extra and galactomyces fermentation filtrate which can moisturize the skin in addition to healing and calming skin problems.

Ingredients and Texture

Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Betaine, Allantoin, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Snail Secretion Filtrate (1000ppm), Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Propolis Extract, Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract, Alcohol, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Citrate, Adenosine, Fragrance, Ubiquinone, Colloidal Gold (CI77480)

The only product showing up as a possible acne trigger is butylene gylcol on cosdna, though it does contain citrus extract and snail secretion, which some people may react badly to. In addition, it also has galactomyces ferment filtrate and propolis extract as well as alcohol. There's plenty of notable ingredients in this mask in addition to the ones mentioned. snail is good for healing while galactomyces works as an antioxidant that can also help brighten the skin tone. The propolis acts as an antibacterial and antioxidant and can aid in anti-aging treatments in addition to being moisturizing. Adenosine helps reduce wrinkles. Gold is supposedly able to be antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, but there's no scientific background to it, so it's just in it for the fun-factor. XD There's really a healthy amount of good ingredients in this mask, which surprised me a little since the price is pretty good!
I'm more than a little disappointed to find that this mask isn't actually gold. Lol. Probably too much to ask for. The essence is a watery gel that adheres well to the cotton sheet mask, though there's enough in the package for my body as well. It's an odd cotton material though, cause I actually really liked it. I usually prefer thinner fabric on my masks, but this was really comfortable.

It doesn't really absorb all the essence enough to not drip all over me. I find the cutting perfect, to be honest. ^^ Fragrance is added, so this mask smells pretty nice, but the scent isn't too overwhelming and disappears upon application.

Performance

I used this mask while my skin was acting up due to a particularly harsh face cleanser that turned my skin , inflammed, flaky and itchy. >.< This good is good for acne/sensitive skin, which is what I was dealing with when I used the mask and I was pretty impressed with the effects! The mask stayed moist for an hour after application and I was almost sad to remove it.

I yolo-ed it with this snail mask because it's too shiny to pass up. I sometimes react badly to masks containing snail and I've actually tried some other Elizevecca (Power Ringer Masks) and weren't particularly impressed, so expectations weren't too high for this mask. However, I'm happy to report that I'm really pleased with this mask!

My skin was much less inflamed after using the mask and my skin was somewhat brightened! The snail didn't react badly to my skin, which is awesome. ^^ I also found that the red spots on my forehead was less so and my skin wasn't as itchy. All in all, it's a pretty great mask with really good ingredients at a decent mask. What's not to love?

Product & Shop
I was sent this Elizavecca Donkey Piggy Steam Cream Mask Pack in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own, as always.

Elizavecca has been developing and selling products for more than 20 years. Elizavecca isn't a new brand for me. I've tried a few products of theirs, including plenty of their assorted Power Ringer masksGreen Piggy Collagen Jella Pack Pig Mask, and Elizavecca Kangsi Pack earlier. Elizavecca products are manufactured and sold by MIZ Tread Co., LTD.

This mask pack is meant for those with dry skin and contains donkey milk water cream in order to moisturize and maintain skin texture as well as skin elasticity and flexibility. 

Ingredients and Texture

Ingredients:  Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Stearate, Polysorbate 60, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cyclopentasilxane-Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone/Crosspolymer-Dimethicone, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) ExtractCitrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Caulerpa Lentillifera (Sea Grapes) Extract, Laminaria Japonica (Brown Seaweed) Extract, Human Oligopeptide-1, Chlorphenesin, Carbomer, Tocopheryl Acetate, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA, Arginine, Donkey Oil (100ppm), Fragrance

The ingredients are pretty good, with cosdna showing only butylene glycol and cetearyl alcohol, dimethicone as possible acne triggers and carbomer and cetearyl alcohol as possible irritants. There's also shea butter, which may be too thick for some. Notable ingredients are witch hazel extract, centella asiatica extra for anti-inflamatory, hydrolyzed collagen as an emollient, pomegranate extract as an astringent and seaweed extra for it's anti-inflammatory and antioxident properties. 
The mask is formulated as a heavy moisturizing mask that focuses on helping extremely dry skin. It contains 25ml of essense and the essence is an incredibly thick, opaque cream that leaves somewhat of a white residue, even on my hand, though I noticed it does absorb after a while. The mask material is an odd cotton material that adheres quite well. I usually don't like material that's too thick, but I was quite happy with this mask. The usual thin masks wouldn't be able to keep as much of the thick, creamy essence.
I had enough leftover of the 25g essense to apply on my body.

Performance

This is one mask I would not have purchased on my own, since my skin is oily/combo and pretty clog-prone. Anything too heavy tends to break out my skin, so a creamy mask is not something I'm keen on trying. Yet, I find myself really enjoying this mask. The fit was perfectly fine on my skin and I actually enjoyed it enough to keep it on my face for a little more than half an hour before taking it off.

Perhaps what also helped it's case was that my skin was suffering from an allergic reaction that made my skin somewhat dry and flaky and this mask was a true lifesaver. I truly loved it. It had enough essense leftover for pretty much my entire body and while the essence didn't really soak in completely, it was absorbed enough to leave my skin soft and bouncy. After I woke up the next morning, my skin was kind of oily, so it is actually a little too moisturizing for my skin type. On the other hand, after washing my face, my skin was so soft and calmed, so this inadvertently worked as a great sleeping mask!

Elizavecca has this cream in tube form, which I'm curious if it works as well. But, I definitely suggest this mask only for emergency hydration and moisturization for those of us with combo/oily skin. Perhaps this would work best for those of you with dry skin types. ^^  I'd repurchase this for emergency use though, or get a tube of that donkey steam cream that should work as well! ^^
