Hey beauties, happy Thursday! Today I am going to review the Color Control Skintone Perfecter Mask by the brand called Herborist.
I don't think a lot of you have heard about this particular skincare brand. It is a Chinese skincare brand that is so popular and it's now sold worldwide. The good thing about this brand is that the ingredients are pretty much all natural and all of their products are infused with Chinese herbs that are beneficial to our skin. Now a little disclaimer: this is a PR sample that was provided by the lovely sales representative of Herborist Europe Davide at my local Sephora so thank you Davide. But as usual all my opinions are 100% honest and I will not review anything if I don't like it. That's for sure!
Ok now onto the actual mask. It comes in this beautiful glass jar that I think it will look absolutely stunning in your skincare cabinet. Ohh and don't throw away the jar after you have done with the mask because you can definitely put stuff in there such as cotton pads right?! It cost €39 for 260g of product which I think it's a pretty good deal considering you only need a euro size amount for each use. NOTE: It is called the Whitening Revitalizing Mask for the rest of the world only in Europe it's called Color Control Skintone Perfecter Mask. They are same with different names just FYI.
I like the fact that this is a cream, a white cream. It's almost like you putting on a night cream rather than a mask you know.
I have used this mask every night for the past a couple of weeks and I really do like it for only one reason. It brightens my skin like nobody else's business. If you are after a brightening mask then look no further. This is the one for you.
(Top: washed off the mask after 15mins; Bottom: without the mask. I hope you can see the difference)
I like using this mask after I spend a day at the beach because it just brightens my complexion so that I don't look too dark and dull. My skin is nice and even without the redness from the sun. Apparently it contains 7 different herbs that are really good for keeping our skin hydrated and looking youthful. It also contains pearl powders which are extremely effective in terms of brightening and evening out skintones. Ohh that explains it then!! It smells lovely too like some kind of herbs but not strong at all. Very pleasant.
The only downside for me is that I have to dig my fingers in which is not very hygienic so I suggest getting a spoon or some sort of wooden stick to take out the product. Also do not put it too close to the eye area as it does make the eyes watery a bit.
The sales representative Davide told me to use it twice a week and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes but I use it every night because who doesn't love a bright face?! It doesn't irritate my skin at all so why not?! My tip to use this mask is that apply it 2 or 3 times a week but if you spend a day under the sun then it would be a good idea to use it every night. You'll see a big difference. No darkness, dullness or redness caused by the sun.
All in all this is a pretty good mask in my opinion especially for brightening and evening out my skintone. I would love to check out other products from Herborist in the future. I heard the Tai Chi Mask is really really good. I might have to try that.
