REVIEW: Timeless Truth Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask

~AG~

 

UPDATED 16/10/2015: My cousin-in-law told me that Timeless Truth is actually a Taiwanese brand that became popular in France. My prior claim that they are a French is according to their unofficial website. She told me that these popular sheet masks are sold out in Taiwan. Unlike their stated online price, she said it costs US$1.50 in Taiwan.

=========================================================================

This sheet mask was given to me by my Taiwanese cousin-in-law. She says that this sheet mask works well for her sensitive skin. Prior to her introduction of Timeless Truth sheet masks, I have not heard of this brand. Initially, I thought it was a Taiwanese brand. They also claim to be the #1 Beauty Mask in France.

 

Timeless Truth Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask. Note: This packaging looks different than that featured on their website. But I believe it is essentially the same product. The Chinese words on the packaging are specially for the Taiwanese market.

 

On their official website, the Timeless Truth Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask retails for US$11 for a single sachet. This is pricy for a sheet mask. My Beauty Diary or innisfree's sheet masks cost only US$1.50- US$2 per sachet.

According to an Australian beauty website, Beauty Haven :

Timeless Truth Bio Cellulose Hydra-Soothing Moisturising Mask is a face mask that moistures, nourishes and protects skin. Rich in hyalo-oligo, hyaluronic acid and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid, the mask helps to moisturise dry skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The Bio-Cellulose nanoscopic fibre cloth allows for the deeper penetration of the serum, and hydrates collagen fibres for a glowing complexion.

So what makes Timeless Truth's Bio Cellulose Masks different than other regular sheet masks?

The structure of Bio Cellulose is extremely delicate; it fits perfectly on the skin and can aid penetration of serum deep into facial tissue. Due to its fibrous nano-scopic material it has a larger surface contact with the skin. It helps maintain the moisture in the skin and allows it to breathe as well. http://ttmasks.co.uk/about/

 

So what can I say about Timeless Truth Bio Cellulose Mask?

• The sheet mask is generously soaked with serum
• Timeless Truth's sheet mask feels thicker than My Beauty Diary or The Face Shop sheet masks
• It does not fit my face that well, especially the forehead, eyes and upper lip areas
• There was a slight tingling sensation during use
• My combination skin felt hydrated after use. I did not apply other skincare products after mask application to notice its full effects.
• My sensitive skin did not had any adverse reaction to it, even the morning after. No new pimples, no bumps and no redness were noticed.
• I do like Timeless Truth sheet mask. But it is not a must-buy. I feel that My Beauty Diary or The Face Shop works just as well, and those brands are more affordable.

The sheet mask does not fit well for my eyes and nose area. I had to fold in the mask around the upper lip area.

Review: My Beauty Diary Aloe Mask

~AG~

My Beauty Diary is one of my FAVORITE sheet mask. It is affordable and my skin reacts well to it. The skin around my cheeks area was feeling dry and rough. So, I decided to put on a sheet mask to hydrate my skin. I decided to go for the Aloe Mask because on the packaging it states for moisturizing and soothing. I cannot remember how much I purchased it for, but I bought this single sheet mask while in Taiwan. The beauty stores in Taiwan offers you to pick and choose single sheet masks which is a GREAT idea. You get to try many different brands and types, without investing in buying a whole box. A single My Beauty Diary sheet mask usally costs less than S$2 (~US$1.50).

For some reason, this sheet mask does not fit to my face nicely. The sheet mask around the nose and chin areas were too big. I also found that the design around the eyes area was not a good fit too. If I place the mask higher up on my face, it will cover my lower eyelids.

My Beauty Diary sheet mask is always full of essence, which I LOVE!! I usually leave on my sheet mask for 30-40 minutes before going to bed. My skin will usually feel hydrated and softer the next morning after use. However, for some reason, this Aloe sheet mask did not hydrate as well as the Q10 or Natto sheet mask. The next morning, I find that the skin around my cheeks area were still a little dry. Overall, my skin was more moisturized but I have seen better results with the other My Beauty Diary sheet mask.

For those that are looking for a noticeable improvement in skin hydration and texture, I would recommend the My Beauty Diary Natto and Q10 sheet mask instead.  

REVIEW: My Beauty Diary Sake Yeast Mask

~AG~

I am a big fan of My Beauty Diary sheet mask. Ever since I tried using it in the States, I have used quite a number of their sheet masks - Birds' Nest, Aloe Vera, Q10 Rejuvenating, Natto, Red Wine, Collagen, Black Pearl. My Beauty Diary sheet masks are of high quality and my ultra sensitive skin has not had any adverse reactions to them. The fit of the sheet mask also works well on my face. On this particular sheet mask packaging, it says it has moisturizing and whitening properties.
When I removed this sheet mask from its packaging, the scent of the sake yeast was pretty overpowering. Among the My Beauty Diary sheet masks, this is one of the least favourite in terms of scent. Even the Red Wine sheet mask's scent was not as overwhelming. The scent of alcohol in this Sake Yeast mask is not the most pleasant scent.

The direction says to leave the sheet mask for 20-30  minutes on my face. But I usually leave the mask on for at least an hour or until the mask is dried up. I do this because it is such a waste for me to throw away the mask that is still soaked with essence after 20 or 30 minutes of application.

My cheeks areas were dry and flaky before the mask application. After the mask, my skin feels tighter and brighter. Overall, my skin feels refreshed and well-moisturized. Apart from the overwhelming alcohol scent, I might reconsider purchasing this sheet mask. I bought a box of 10 variety My Beauty Diary mask for S$13-15 from Sasa Singapore. That means one mask costs about S$1.50.

Mild sake yeast is the by-product in winemaking. Yeast essence has anti-oxidizing function that whitens skin. It purifies pore, making skin soft, fresh and bright. Botanical collagen restores skin’s elasticity and repairing function. Gorse extracts hydrates for more translucent and radiant skin.

Patented moisturizing ingredient CosphingoTM maintains skin’s natural state of healthiness. It hydrates and locks moisture, restores skin’s softness and smoothness.
