My Scheming - Deep Ocean Water Saccharide Isomerate Mask

 
This mask came in a sample or tester box of 7 different masks.  The set was called "My Scheming 7 Days Hydrating Mask Set (7 piece)".  I purchase this set on sasa.com for $8.60.

Ingredients
This was the first My Scheming masks I've used. From the sample box of 7 I happened to pick this one first, for no particular reason. First thing I have to say is this mask reminds me of the My Beauty Diary line masks. Both have very cute packaging and both have similar masks quality.

For who can't see what I had written on the back of the package here's a type up version below.
 

Description on box: The deep sea water is extracted from the deep ocean water which is under 800-ft sea level with negative pressure. The deep ocean water involves 60 minerals and microelements, which sizes are similar to the water in our body. Therefore, it is easy to be absorbed by our skin and promote metabolism. The nutrients of the mask penetrate into and be sunk by skin. It has good effects on maintaining long-term skin moisture, activating skin, and give you a pure and jade-like skin with brightness and lightness.
 
 
Ingredients: Deep ocean water, xanthan gum, 1-3 butylene gylcol, glycerin, cucumber extract, allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhetinante, sodium hyaluronate, sodium pca, methyl parabenm sorbeth-30, methlysothiazolinone, perfume.
 
 
Directions: After cleansing, remove pearl paper and place the mask over your face. Press it lightly onto your face. Leave on for about 15-20 minutes. Remove the mask. Pat and leave for essence absorption.
 

I like how there's actually ENGLISH on this packaging. You know exactly what you're using and how to use the masks. Unlike the My Beauty Diary masks EVERYTHING is in Chinese.

There was really no scent for this mask. I used masked for 30 minutes. This mask was very moisturizing. It was very cooling and relaxing too. There was TONS of essence left over too. So of course all essence is massaged onto my neck and arms. And one thing I want to note is this mask is a little thinner than the My Beauty Diary Mask.

Inside - Lots of essence

Dermal Cucumber Collagen Essence Mask


I brought a bunch of Dermal masks at a Hmart last week. Hmart is a supermarket that specializes in providing Asian foods. Some stores even sell small appliances and beauty products. So before I left the market I noticed on display that there's a deal on all their Dermal masks.  It's originally $0.99 and it is now for $0.80. I'm not sure how much they are usually online but I thought it was a pretty good deal and got some.

Sorry. I don't know why I can rotate the photos.

As you can see I got: 
  • Charcoal
  • Red Ginseng
  • Bamboo
  • Q10
  • Pomegrante (2)
  • Apricot
  • Cucumber
  • Green Tea
  • Aloe
  • White 

I wasn't planning to keep them all.  I gave these three to my mom.


And these three to my sister.


I tried my first Dermal mask last Sunday. I chose to use cucumber first since my face felt kind of dry I wanted something moisturizing and smoothing.

Inside of the packet



This mask has lots of essence. It has no plastic lining. They probably left that lining out to cut cost and also there wasn't really a need for it since this mask is much thicker compared to other higher quality masks.


I find that this mask is wide. It fit my face but there was a small part of my forehead that wasn't covered. I like how this mask has eye flaps though. You can smell the cucumber sent. It was pretty noticeable scent but wasn't overwhelming. I did enjoy the scent. After I took off the mask I did notice that the mask was very moisturizing and in some ways it had brighten my complexion a little bit. There was one thing I really did not like though...This mask left a very thick sticky residue. I thought it might just take some time to just absorb but it took forever. I actually feel asleep waiting for the stickiness to go away. When I washed my face in the morning I feel there was still a layer of something lingering on my face.

So how to I feel about this mask?  It's ok but most likely would not be repurchasing them.  I wonder if it's just this particular mask that leaves this film or if they are all like that.  My mother who tried two of the masks also said she did not like it.  She could tell that it's a cheaper quality mask and it had given her a little irritation which made her face slightly red. 

So how does everyone who feel about these Dermal sheet mask? 
Dried sheet mask.  As you can see it's a wide sheet mask and there's eye flaps
