Mask: Annie's Way Arbutin + Hyaluronic Acid

Annie's Way Arbutin + Hyaluronic Acid is a brightening jelly mask.

It claims to be "Whitening moisturizing , minimizes fine lines, leaves skin radiantly bright". I brought this because of youtube videos.... so many youtube garu's that I follow were talking about this, so I HAD to try it too! I figured that most of the masks I have been using are clay form for deep cleansing and I should use one to moisturizing. I brought this off ebay and it took about 2 weeks to get here. I had this for about 2 weeks and have used it 5 times including today.

My thoughts? Awesome!! I heard people claiming that this mask can extract black heads and that's what really sold me. I have a few pimples here and there but my main concern are my clogged pores. Since people claimed that it can extract black head, I secretly hoped it will remove my white heads too. After trying it a few times, my white heads are still there but my skin is soft and bouncy! I love it. Today was a very hot day since we are currently in a heat wave, (tomorrow will be over 100 degrees in some parts of the bay area.) using this mask felt AMAZING!! The gel felt cool to the touch acted like a shield again the heat for about 30 mins. I honestly LOVE sitting there with  a mask on while watching TVB dramas. Thats how I imagine my retired life to be!

Made in Taiwan and comes with 250mL and it has a 2 yrs shelf life. It reminds me of that gelly that doctors use for ultrasounds. I also comes with a spatula for applying and removing the gel. When you first open it, there is a silver seal and when opened for the first time it will say Void. I thought that was pretty cool and theres also a second seal from the cap to the gel. Very well packaged. There's also a bunch of chinese characters on the back of the jar which I assume are directions and ingredients. I wish I could read chinese. =(

This was originally all silver, but once broken it will look like this.
