Review/First Impression : Reacheer Herbal Selaginellae Hydrating Repairing Mask

Truth to be told, I am not much of a skincare person eventhough I do not have the perfect skin. My skin used to better that I needed only concealer to hide pesky pimples and dark circles. But ever since I entered university - the late nights, stress, food intake, lifestyle has took its toll on my skin and it went spiralling down ever since.

About Reacheer
Please excuse the English. It was google translated when I loaded it.
Sorry girls, I can't provide accurate translation as I don't know how to read Chinese.

Description and guide to using the product in English.

Ingredients in Chinese. (Again, I don't know how to read Chinese)

Expiry date is in 2018! Talk about FRESHNESS.

A super sturdy air-tight lock to keep the product fresh and last longer.

Great skin, here I come! (OTW)

Let me fill you in on the background of my skin. I had oily skin ever since I hit puberty and I was sure I wasn't a sight for sore eyes back then. I had full-blown acne back in Form 2 till my mom had to bring me to the doctor to get some steriods to lessen the acne/quicken the healing process. The doctor sure gave some awesome cream because it cleared up within weeks to months. 

Fast forward, a beautician told me that my skin was dehydrated and that my friend, has got me confuzzled (confused + puzzled). My skin was dehyrated within but on the outside, it is "bring over the frying pan woman!" - superbly oily yet there are some parts are flaky. Amazing isn't it? The sensitivity and complexity of our epidermis. 

So, below is a collage of my current skin condition and IT AIN'T PRETTY. Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, broken capillaries, dull skin (edited by brightening it a little as my room light was dim), pimple/acne scars, potholes and the list goes on. The cute emoticons below sums up what I feel about my skin. 

Here I am at my first tryout with this face mask.

I was actually looking for a sleep-in mask or a night cream to help improve my skin condition and I had to actually read the instructions a few times before the fact that this was a wash-off mask sinked in. I was blur and tired at that moment alright, so cut me some slack. Lol.

Review :

Pros

• The scent is not pungent (I have sinus, I would tell you if its unbearable) 
• The packaging is - one word - awesome. Air-tight snap lid, sturdy and overall it really feels and looks luxurious. Heck, it should as its RM107! 
• Easy to apply.
• After washing it off, my skin does feel softer (like a baby's bottom!) and smoother (a little). 
• I used it only once, so I cannot tell or claim whether it does what it claims. Will update here after a few more rounds.
• Food for thought : Please understand that the results varies from individuals. You will have to take into account your food and water intake, lifestyle (sleep late, don't exercise/exercise), stress levels and so much more. So don't expect it to do miracles to your skin if you do late nights and eat junk food.

Will I repurchase it? Will update here soon.
