DERMAL Snail Collagen Essence Facial Mask Sheet 23g Pack of 10 – Skin Regenerating & Trouble Care for Acne Prone Skin, Daily Skin Treatment Solution Sheet Mask

Hydrating, great for sensitive skin, and extremely helpful if you’re prone to cystic acne like me!
I’m a big fan of korean sheet masks, and considering that I use them almost daily was ready to try a slightly cheaper brand… and curious about snail essence! These are lovely, the collagen helps my super sensitive skin knit itself back together, and the snail essence is extremely hydrating.* How I use it: I put the mask on before bed, and fall asleep with it on. At some point during the night I usually remove it. If my skin needs deep healing due to a breakout or nourishing due to dry skin, I put Daiso Japan Reusable Silicon Mask Cover for Sheet Prevent Evaporation, Colors May Vary on over it, and basically leave it on until I remove it in my sleep (usually several hours later).* What I Do With Leftover Serum: I have a pack of Zelta 60 Pieces Compressed Disposable Facial Mask Home DIY Skin Care single use dry mask pellet things. I just drop one into the packet and let it absorb the remaining serum, essentially getting two sheet masks for the price of one.* Why Snail Essence? This Korean beauty secret apparently was also popular with Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, who prescribed crushed snails and sour milk for inflamed skin. It turns out there may be some truth to that- the mucous snails excrete when they’re stressed out, according to The Dermatology Review, contains hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, antimicrobial and copper peptides, and proteoglycans, all of which are added to expensive OTC skin preparations. How do they stress out the snails? I like to imagine they raise their homeowners taxes and then harvest the slime during tax season.* Why Collagen? I’ve been way into drinking Collagen Hydrolysate Protein Powder (1 Lb.) – Hydrolyzed Kosher Grass Fed Beef Collagen Peptides – Pasture-Raised – Non-GMO Certified daily, and started putting it on my face a while ago after reading some convincing western medicine journal articles talking about the benefits of collagen for wound healing. I get cystic acne spots that burst open and leave unsightly- and painful- sores on my face, so I’m *way* into methods of speeding up healing. I have noticed when I use masks with collagen in them plus the silicone face cover I mentioned earlier overnight, it substantially expedites the healing process.

I have tons of herbal, collogan, etc, facial masks but snail is definately the best!
I have no idea why I didn’t start using throw on your face and then throw them away facial masks many, many years ago. I bought a few to test them out and never looked back. I just love how moisturizing and skin calming these are! Highly recommend.

A wonderful sheet mask
When using Korean skincare, and you want optimal hydration, it’s recommended to do a nightly sheet mask. That can get pricey! This brand is one of the most affordable options and delivers great results. The masks are well made and completely saturated with essence. I usually keep a mask on for 10 minutes and gently pat in the remainder of the essence on my face and place the sheet mask on my neck for an additional 5 minutes. This is a great brand of sheet mask and I highly recommend.

Nice juicy hydrating and well fitting mask, but didn’t see any awe inspiring results from this particular mask.
I feel sort of “meh” about these Snail sheet masks. With only 1% snail filtrate, they’re not working any miracles, and the usual after effects I get from other snail products are minimal with these masks. I actually purchased these because I wanted to test my results against another brand of snail mask. They do fit well, come heavily packed with essence, and are a nice hydrating mask, but I don’t see any other results aside from the temporary hydration with this particular mask (and I preferred the other mask I was testing this against). But because I did like the fit and juicyness, I would like to try some other masks from this brand to see how they fair and to add to my ever growing sheet mask collection and routine.
