ePure Membrane Jelly Masque [Review]

By Gwendolyn Me - August 29, 2013

Some of you may have already heard of this, some may have not. But today, i would be giving you my review and opinion on this.

The main ingredient in this product is Hyaluronic Acid (HA) "hyiah-lu-ro-nic acid". And why is HA so important t our skin? It is the ingredient for moisture and giving us that soft bouncy skin. As we age, our skin doesn't retain and hold as much HA as a baby or when we are younger, so it is important to fill it back and pamper our skin with HA.

HA exist in many products that we see around (just check the ingredient list). So why this some may ask, this is not just any ordinary mask but it penetrates into your skin so it's not just your outer layer of skin that gets it but deep down inside as well.

This unique mask retain 70% more moisture than other sheet mask, it forces the skin pores to fully absorb the nourishing ingredients while drawing out the impurities instantaneously. it also inhibit melanin synthesis, which lightens pigmentation, balances uneven skin tone, leaves your skin brighter and supple with dewy fresh vibrance."

I've had a few friends approaching me to buy this in the beginning and I wasn't quite convinced because I was told it was RM89 per sachet. I was like HELLNO I'm paying so much for that! And let's just say they didn't give enough information to convince me or make me believe it. You know it was one of those times when you don't really buy it and think how can it work? (p/s. i won't mention what was told to me)

But then i was on hishop.my browsing through as one of my usual boredom days, i stumbled upon this product and this time i got to read the desciption and really read and find out what it really was. Instantly I wanted to give it a try. But remembering the price my friend gave me, i decided to look further and i found a tub version instead of the sachet. So i bought the tub one, I personally prefer it in a tub as i can control how much i want to apply and store it easily.

Say Hello to Chi Chi as a comparison and a companion to the new commer membranous jelly masque.

A clear description on what it does. It is stated that it increases the skin moisture by 30-50%, and restores and balances your skin as well as melanin synthesis and in the end you will have a brighter, supple dewey fresh face.

Finally, Does it deliver what it says?? Read on...

The most common issues that nowadays we would have is blackheads, uneven skintone, dark/dull skintone, freckles and pigmentations, wrinkles, acne, redness, eczema, roseacea, oily skin, dry, skin, combination skin, sensitive skin and the list goes on and on. And APPARENTLY, this product is THE product that saves everyone from all that trouble with just ONE product and instantly?? a little too much to believe right? Then all the other beauty skincare company will hate them go bankrupt or start stealing their secret recipes already.

My skin type:
- Sensitive skin with rosecea
- Freckles and pigmentation
- Darkcircles and puffy eyes
- Combination oily skin
- Blackheads and pores.

How to use:
1. Remove makeup and cleanse your face.
2. *Optional step* Apply Toner and Serum for better effects.
3. Use the spatula and evenly apply the mask for about 0.3mm-0.5mm thickness
4. Let the mask do their work for 40minutes
5. Use the spatula to scrape of access mask and rinse off.

So did it work?
As most mask does, after you rinse if off, you immediately see a bright nice shiny dewy face. So, it does work! but the problem with most things are, how long does it last?

For this product, it is advised and stated for maximum long lasting effect and result, For the first month, use three times a week, then after that you cut it down to once a week. So with frequent usage, you'd get a maximum result out of it. (In a way, it's also a very good advertising scheme right?) BUT, all things don't last forever, we wash our face everyday, we grow old everyday, our skin produce oil everyday so eventually whatever we put on our surface of the skin would be washed off. So we need to apply them back to give back everything that our skin needs.

One thing that i have noticed with this is that, my skin has been better, it has reduced my rosecea and the sensitivity of my skin. AND my pores are now tighter. So those with bigger pores, this product will definately help you. In terms of my freckles, I really need to use it for a longer run in order to really see if there is really a difference and would it really help.

I personally don't believe in products that works overnight miraculously.Because scientifically speaking, that would be one hell of a chemical product in order to make it work right? For example, if my freckles were to go away in ONE night, wouldn't that mean there is alot of bleach or chemical in it to make it dissapear? Then what happens to the other spots that I applied that doesn't have freckles, would it get whiter? Then i would end up with white patchy spots right? If a product is a overnight miracle, means, it's a one time usage, not a daily usage. But for this membrane jelly masque, in long term usage, my skin would be able to absorb it and work with it in long run. So we will see if my skin will age quicker and pores will get larger.

Pros:
- It made my skin brighter with a radiance.
- Tighten my pores.
- Clears up my skin and calms
- A tub can go a long way.

Cons:
- Quite expensive.
- A little troublesome to wash off, you'll need patience and time.
- Not a morning wake up instant quick mask.

Would i Recommend it?
YES. It's a good investment.
