This review is about the B&Soap's My Secret! Glacial Water Mask that I bought from Althea Korea sometime last year. I was only able to try it out recently.
About the Product
B&Soap's My Secret! Glacial Water Mask is a mild and calming mask which contains six pure minerals extracted from Alaskan glacial water to soothe and condition your skin. Formulated for those who have dull, dry or sagging skin. Glacial Water will replenish moisture to every single layer of your skin for deep hydration.
What is Glacial Water?
Glacier Water is water from ice blocks at very low temperatures that are free from human contamination. It boasts special properties which render it purer and cleaner than other water. These characteristics are applied to cosmetics to prepare extremely delicate and pure products with a high cleansing and moisturizing capacity (Source).

My Experience
Packaging:
The packaging is great! It looks cute and kind of reminds me of a post card or an old fashioned envelope. All information in the packet is in Korean though, except for the ingredients.
Scent:
Upon opening, I noticed a perfume-y scent. Take note that this mask has 'Fragrance' as one of its ingredients. The best description I could give you about how this smells is that it's like a typical beauty product. I hope that makes sense! Luckily scent was not overbearing and disappeared upon mask application.
Material:
The mask sheet material is thin and had a really great fit for my face. The mask was very adhering as well.
Essence:
Essence is thick and not drippy, consistency is like that of an aloe vera gel. The packet did not contain a lot of it, however, the sheet mask was completely saturated. The mask did not dry out through out the recommended masking time which is 10-20 minutes. I usually follow the maximum limit when I use a sheet mask. Essence was absorbed in under 10 minutes.
Results:
This mask left my face with a dewy finish, feeling moisturized and not tacky at all. I felt that my face was truly hydrated even during the morning after. I didn't have any breakouts or reactions that I can associate with this product. I noticed a bit of a pore tightening effect too.
Thoughts
It's the first time I'm encountering glacial water as a skin care ingredient and I am impressed with its hydrating properties. This is also the first product I have tried from B&Soap so I really did not know what to expect. Glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised with this mask. I will definitely repurchase! B&Soap's My Secret! Glacial Water Mask will be great to have in my stash whenever my skin feels extra dry. Might be time to try out more Glacial Water products too!

I never met this brand before, but I like the moisturizing mist with glacial water.
ReplyDeleteI tried the other version of this mask, the sea water one and it also delivers great results, plus it's so affordable.
