YADAH Collagen Mask Pack

YADAH Collagen Mask Pack, yet again, falls into the fail category of the sheet masks. It promises nourishment and anti-aging benefits and in vivo delivers something that is close to nothing. If you have perfectly normal skin free of troubles, this mask may fit your basic skin’s need of moisture. To my disappointment, any other skin would not feel/look any different after using this sheet mask.

My experience:

YADAH Collagen Mask Pack has totally failed to deliver any results , hence, it didn't fulfill my expectations. I was looking forward to trying out this brand so badly and as for now it has been a total disappointment. The sheet of this particular mask it is very comfortable in terms of lovely fit on my face. The bad thing about the sheet is that it is quite rough and doesn't adhere to my face well. There were so many air bubbles forming that it became a struggle to make a decent photo.  To me it felt like it was more of an ampoule type of texture that was unscented and colorless.

The essence has an ampoule-like texture that is colorless and feels like it has a nice slip to it. Being quite runny, it didn’t want to remain on the mask and tended to slide down to the bottom of my sheet mask and ending up dripping into my chest. The same thing happened to the previous mask I reviewed so I do think there is some formulation flaw or they didn't test it on real people prior to releasing the product. Not a good start.

The wearing time was short. After 10 minutes my forehead area was entirely dry and started getting uncomfortably itchy and the part of the mask on my chin was feeling as moist as it was straight out of the pack. One more thing about the essence. It smelled! Not a strong scent, but it was present and hitting my nose in an unpleasant way. I know that mucin filtrate is usually odorless but something in the ingredients gave off real nasty chemical vibe.

What about the results? It looked and felt like I have applied a sheet mask saturated in simple water solution with some hyaluronic acid added to the mix. Nothing I can't achieve by applying simple layer of toner on my skin. There was zero finish and tackiness which is always a good thing but, come on! I will not repurchase this sheet mask as I know many other masks and essences that do a magnificent job without leaving my skin feeling empty. As fas as recommendations – save your money for something more effective. If you are in your 20's and you don't need anything special in terms of skin care besides basic hydration, this one may be for you. Anyone else can skip it.

Pros:

+ Paraben and sulfate free formulation
+ Contains lecithin, snail mucin, adenosine, and hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen
+ Watery ampoule texture
+ Good price : quantity ratio
+ Light chemical scent
+ Easy to get in EU

Cons:

– Does very little on my skin besides basic hydration
– Contains silicone and alcohol
– Not worth it’s price
– Poor adherence
– Rough sheet
– Light chemical scent of the essence is off-putting to my nose
