My experience:

Real Barrier Aqua Soothing Ampoule Mask is my go to mask when I use a strong peeling solution on my face. Wether it is a peeling gel or 2-step peel, my skin is often left very sensitive to the touch and I want something cooling, soothing and calming for my face. That's where the Ampoule mask COmes in play. My BFF ROVECTIN Cica Cream is one of my all time favorites and today I am proud to announce that I have found a good base prior to the creaming step.

 

The sheet mask is hard to get in EU so if you want to buy these, opt for StyleKorean or eBay. And do buy in bulk, they are amazing! All the science that ATOPALM company put into creating this gorgeous brand pays itself off because so far none of their products have been even a little bit disappointing! The packaging is nice and sturdy and contains plenty of information.

 

Real Barrier Aqua Soothing Ampoule Mask sheet is black and made of bamboo fiber. It is super soft and moldable and the best part- it holds onto the essence like a beast. The essence is very light and slippery to touch. It is runny as ampoule products, hence it's name. I love how well it treats. my skin. The combination of soft sheet and fluid essence is very gentle on the skin. Adherence is remarkable too. Unfortunately the fit is a bit whack and my forehead is pretty exposed but I can live with that.

 

Wearing time is average and is about 15 minutes. Essence sinks fast into the skin and each time I use it, I feel the soothing vibe nearly immediately. My skin cools down and feels gorgeous. I love applying it straight from the fridge onto my skin when my skin is irritated by the acids and I love using it warm after being outdoorsy in cold weather. In both cases the results are identical. My skin is smooth, radiant and what's most important, redness is tamed to the minimum. It is a wonderful mask for daily use if your skin is having some issues.

 

Running this one daily for a week and/or rotating it with the Real Barrier Extreme Cream Mask (more intense version) would make wonders to your skin! Pinky swear 🙂 They both restores skin barrier which prevents moisture loss. All skin types will benefit from it.
