Purchase & MaxClinic Intro
These Maxclinic Propolis Black Masks is available in a pack of 4 for $10.45 on BBCosmetic.com. I got these during one of their free gift events, where they were giving away 3 sheet masks for purchases in a certain category, which is ridiculously amazing. I purchased the Cosrx low pH cleanser and the package masks and the items on top are all the free gifts included. T.T Honestly, their free gifts are amazing.
Maxclinic as a brand I don't really see that often other than their famed Maxclinic Cirmage Lifting Stick, which went viral at one point due to it's amazing lifting effect showcased in a youtube video. Maxclinic a home spa skincare brand that got it's name from Max (Maximum) + Clinic (Skincare). It's brand concept:
"Under the motto of Max Clinic - Healing skincare optimized to fit my skin', esthetic spa experts and cosmetology experts came together to create the Luxury Spa Clinic brand in Korea. You can experience a professional spa care at convenience of your home through Max Clinic."
It is dermatologically tasted, natural and healthy, and provides beauty devices optimized for each skin type.
Their selection on BBCosmetic includes a Royal Caviar Oil Foam 110g that creates natural foam from oil to cleanse skin without irritating the skin. It's made with jojoba oil, green tea seed oil, and olive oil to provide skin with moisture and promote blood circulation. They also have N.T.S. Program box (DIY Home care program that allows highly enriched collagen to permeate your skin), and lux addition intensive emulsion.
Maxclinic Propolis Black Mask
This is a honey mask for all skin types. It claims to have 3 moisturizing nutrients from bees , including black bee propolis, manuka honey, and royal jelly, which offers moisturizing care without dryness. In addition, it has black sesame, black bean, black rice, and black food ingredients to help moiturize and supply nutrients to loose skin. It has padded cellulose hole sheets to match the curves of the skin for easy adhesion.
At $2.60 per sheet, I have somewhat higher expectations for it, so let's see how it does!
Ingredients & Texture
Notable ingredients include black bee propolis from Provence, which can reinforce skin barrier and soothe as well as provide nutrients to the skin. The manuka honey from New Zealand forms a moisture barrier that supplies rich nutrients. and royal jelly. According to maxclinic's own description, it can control oil and balance moisture for strong, moist skin. The black food ingredients, which include black beans, black sesame, and black rice can supply nutrients to loose skin and restore it's elasticity. It has dual functional whitening and anti-wrinkle functions as well.
The mask material was ridiculously comfortable to have on, though it was a little soft and took a little time to adjust. There's fragrance, but nothing too heavy and the 20ml essence is absorbed in the thin mask well. The weather here is hot and humid, and sometimes masks become a little stifling, but this was perfect the entire time I had it on.
This is a cellulose sheet mask that's cut to match the curves of skin. I doubt everybody's going to find this a perfect fit though, since everyone's face is different. Personally, this mask fit me just fine and I'm a really big fan of the mask material. The only mask comparable to the texture would be the Papa Recipe black mask, which is HG for me, tbh.
Performance
Brightening isn't one of the functions of this mask, but I found it to be pretty good at it! My skin was very much moisturized. Actually, I had been suffering from an eczema flare prior to this mask. You might be able to see faint red patches on my forehead still, but it was much diminished after using the mask. The redness, irritation, and itchiness was very much reduced as well. :) I didn't expect the mask to work so well, but am really grateful it did!
It does run a little expensive, at $2.6 per piece on bbcosmetic, but seeing as the paparecipe mask, which achieves pretty much the same effect, is sold for about the same price point, I feel like it's quite worth the asking price. I'd repurchase this once I'm done, but I actually do have a box of this in addition to the three from bbcosmetic. ^^ Plenty to spare!
