111Skin Liquid Masks Review

Preet — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 13:43:13 +0000

111Skin has launched new transformative liquid masks. I am a fan of 111Skin sheet masks for the last few years. They have been a gamechanger for my skin. There is one for every skin concern I had in the past. I am super excited to share that 111Skin Liquid Masks are now available for most of the skin concerns and needs as their sheet counterparts. Masks have many benefits if included regularly in the skincare routine. I always tell my readers that a consistent routine with a few masking sessions in-between can get you the results you need. Using the same products day and night might fulfill your skin needs but adding a mask for the same need can do wonders.

A mask is formulated in a way that the potent ingredients penetrate the skin in a short amount of time. That means, for specific skin concerns, a different mask is to be used. 111Skin Liquid Masks has launched 6 transformative masks that help the skin with a wide range of benefits. For anyone who needs help with breakouts, redness, sun damage, premature aging, there is a mask for everyone. Moreover, one can address multiple concerns with multi-masking. That means using two or more masks at a time. For example, using the mask to help breakouts on a specific area while using the antiageing on other areas.

Types Of 111Skin Liquid Masks

NAC Y2 Recovery Mask

This mask from 111Skin Liquid Masks range helps to nourish, heal, and strengthen the skin. As the name suggests, the key ingredient included in the brand's signature complex is called NAC Y2. The mask helps reduce the oxidative stress, irritation, and redness caused due to various reasons including external aggressors. It does it by strengthening the skin's barrier. The key ingredients include a fusion of antioxidants, amino acids, moisturizing agents, soothing blends, and more. This mask can be used 2 to 3 times a week.

The mask has a rich creamy texture. It glides nicely on the skin. I keep it on for 10-15 minutes on my cleansed skin. Then I rinse it off and follow up with my moisturizer. I find my skin is smooth, clear, and calm. It is also hydrating without leaving any residue or a heavy feel.

Contour Firming Mask

This mask from 111Skin Liquid Masks helps lift, firm, and tone the skin. It is perfect to help with premature aging too. Premature aging signs include fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. This mask is to be used at night and can be used as a leave-on mask aka treatment for the night. The key ingredients include a potent blend of diamond powder to deliver the benefits deeper into the skin. The formula helps improve the skin's firmness and elasticity while hydrating it. The mask can be used 2 to 3 times a week.

It has a gel-like texture that glides nicely on the skin. It soaks into the skin in a few minutes and I do not find any residue on my face before I go to bed with the mask on. In the morning, I find my skin to be supple, youthful and toned. Everything seems to be lifted up and my skin is smooth to touch. My fine lines and pigmentation look faded too.

Oxygen Express Mask

Oxygen Express Mask from 111Skin Liquid Masks helps to refresh, energize, and refine the skin. It is kind of a mask that I think everyone needs now and then. So, it is good to have in your cabinet. This stimulating mask works to tone, tighten, and refine the appearance of skin with Oxygen, ATP, and active complexes. These three are inspired by the effects of 111Skin'a signature cryotherapy technology. The mask can be used 2 or 3 times a week and be kept on for 5-10 minutes.

This mask has a gel-like texture that glides nicely. I find a cooling effect on my skin once this mask is applied. It is very refreshing. Once off, I find it instantly imparts a glow and evenness to the skin. My pores look diminished while my skin looks flawless. I can definitely compare it to the glass-like effect. Smooth, even, and radiant skin. This mask is also hydrating. This is an instant worker to give an even and radiant complexion.

Molecular Hydration Mask

In the 111Skin Liquid Masks range, this particular mask helps hydrate and soften the skin while plumping it. It helps dry, dehydrated, and problem skin to restore its nourishment. The Vitamin C, Prebiotic Complex, Hyaluronic Acid, and other key ingredients work in conjunction to stimulate the skin's internal processes. This mask can be used 2 to 3 times a week.

The mask has a creamy lightweight texture. It glides nicely on the skin. I keep it on for 10-15 minutes. I find my skin been very soft, supple, and youthful since I started including it in my routine. Also, I find it brightens up the complexion while also imparting radiance to the skin. I feel all ready for the colder months.

Rose Quartz Exfoliating Mask

This multi-fruit acid mask from the 111Skin Liquid Masks range helps brighten, smooth, and illuminate the skin. It utilizes both chemical and physical exfoliation to slough off the dead skin. The formulation of rose quartz, fruit acid complex, bakuchiol, and other key ingredients helps reduce the appearance of pores, pigmentation, dullness, and even blemishes. I love this mask for the days my skin feels clogged or looks dull. It can be used 2 to 3 times a week.

The gel-like texture with noticeable exfoliating beads does not irritate the skin and does not feel harsh. I keep it on for 10-15 minutes. It instantly refreshes the complexion. I find it helps my congested pores. My skin looks clear, bright, and fresh. It also hydrates and unifies the complexion. The dark spots and pigmentation on my skin seem faded and my pores look diminished. It works as a facial at home.

Microbiome Blemish Mask

This mask helps to clarify, calm, and balance the skin. The alpha-hydroxy acids, prebiotic complex, colloidal silver, and other key ingredients gently exfoliate the skin. It clears and calms the complexion while soothing and reducing any redness, inflammation, or irritation. An interesting thing is that this pre & postbiotic mask works to regulate bacteria within our skin's natural microbiome to facilitate a fortified and balanced barrier. Again, it is okay to use it 2 to 3 times a week.

The light gel-like texture applies nicely. I reach out for it when I have a breakout or feel like my skin is super congested or irritated. I have noticed that when I use this mask 2-3 times a week before that time of the month, I do not experience any breakouts. It is very gentle like other masks in this range.

All the masks work on their own or with each other for a multi-masking ritual to address multiple concerns at a time. Also, I recently finished the new 111Skin Concentrates. They have kept my skin at its best and would highly recommend you to check them. There is one for all skin concerns.

111Skin Maskne Protection Bio-Cellulose Mask Review

Preet — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 16:52:37 +0000

111Skin Maskne Protection Bio-Cellulose Mask is the newest addition to the 111Skin sheet masks range. This skincare mask is launched at a time when wearing masks has become an everyday part of our routines. I would not say it only helps with acne caused by wearing masks but it helps with much more than that. 111Skin Anti-Blemish Bio-Cellulose Mask is repurposed to create a version that helps with ‘Maskne'. ‘Maskne' is a kind of acne, but it is from wearing face masks for a prolonged time. That, in turn, irritates the skin and sometimes causes breakouts.

Key Ingredients

The key ingredients in the mask and their benefits are below:

Microalgae – promotes clear skin
Cleome Gynandra – controls sebum production, conditions the skin while reducing inflammation
Aloe Vera – cooling natural humectant that heals and soothes the skin
Lactic Acid – helps dissolve dead skin cells, helps with blemishes and pigmentation
Sodium Ascorbate – brightens the complexion
Tocopherol – strengthens and support skin's barrier function
Hydroxycinnamic Acid – provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties

My Thoughts

I have used three of the 111Skin Maskne Protection Bio-Cellulose Masks in the interval of 3 weeks. I am happy to report that they have worked very well for me. First of all, the texture of the facemask itself is very comfortable and thin. That means I can use it even under my protective mask too. It sticks to the skin nicely without causing any irritation or discomfort.

Once applied, it gives an instant cooling effect to the skin. I find it so soothing. Then, I keep it on for almost 20 minutes before removing it. Another thing I have noticed is that there is a good enough amount of serum (10ml) for each mask package. I apply, then reapply it over the mask while it is on. As this mask is only for the lower portion of the face, I put the extra serum inside the pack to my whole face.

111Skin Maskne Protection Bio-Cellulose Mask has not caused any dryness on my skin. It is very gentle, soothing, and cooling. The way it sits on the skin feels like a second skin. The texture of the sheet is unlike any other sheet mask. I first used it when I noticed few bumps coming out on the lower part of my face. I did notice improvement after using this sheet mask. The bumps disappeared very fast. For the breakout that already emerged out of my skin earlier, it got better earlier than usual. I have noticed fewer new breakouts since then, even when wearing a protective mask every day.

Also, I have used 111Skin Maskne Protection Bio-Cellulose Mask under a protective face mask, it stays put together. But I removed it after a few hours as it is very hot weather these days and I was outside. I do prefer using it as a treatment and maintenance instead of wearing it under the protective mask outside and at work. But that is again a preference, you can do whatever suits you. Overall, I like this mask and keep it in my routine for treatment as well as for maintanence.

Other sheet masks I enjoy and always reach out for from 111Skin are 111Skin Rose Gold Mask and Meso Infusion Leave On Overnight Mask. If you are planning to try 111Skin Masks, 111Skin Master Masking Edit is the best way to get started.

111Skin Rose Gold, Bio-Cellulose Mask Review

Preet — Fri, 01 May 2020 02:04:29 +0000

111Skin Masks have been loved and raved by many, and that includes me also. I have shared it multiple times on my Instagram stories on how much I love them and shared my skincare routine for the same. I have been loving 111Skin Mask since last year and they have always been in my routine, sometimes once a week and sometimes biweekly depending on how my skin is behaving. Now that I am working at home, along with a major percentage of the population around the world, I get more time at home, which means I can spend more time on self-care that includes skincare. Some days I just put on my mask and join the skype or MSTeams meetings online or just while doing my everyday work. I have been loving the 111Skin masks which I have in rotation since last month.

I have shared about Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask and Bio-Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask here in the past.

Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask

111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask is a celebrity and supermodel favourite mask. An interesting fact is that this mask was first launched as a limited edition. But due to the love it received and how fast it became a cult favourite, this mask is part of the 111Skin permanent collection. This mask contains 24k Gold and Damask Rose which works both to illuminate and calm the skin for a party-ready glow. It balances the skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, provides moisture to the skin, contains antioxidants, brightens skin tone. Definitely, it is one of those masks which just transforms the skin in a way that you just fall in love with your skin all over again. It is one of my favourite masks before an event, gathering, or an important meeting.

Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask

Another mask I am loving is the Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask. It brightens, helps even out, and stimulates collagen production. It also helps restore moisture from long flights or nights, potent antioxidants in the mask condition, and moisturizes the skin. As it replenishes the skin after working all day in front of the screen, it is essential while working from home. In other words, it helps tired, dull skin by making it brighter, firmer, and nourished.

Rose Gold Illuminating Eye Mask

And now coming to the newest mask which launched recently and I am so glad it did. It is the eye version of the Rose Gold Brightening Facial Mask treatment. New 111Skin Rose Gold Illuminating Eye Mask is an eye mask a.k.a under-eye savior. It is formulated to uplift, illuminate and awaken the delicate periorbital region. It contains a blend of brightening ingredients to stimulate the skin’s own radiance. The mask also reduces pigmentation, provides anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits, moisturizes, and soothes the eye area. It makes a noticeable difference in terms of how bright, supple, and nourishing the eye area looks. There is a lit-from-within radiant look, something which I thought might be achievable only by under-eye concealer. The eye area looks well-rested and illuminated at the same time, with less noticeable lines. Definitely an under-eye savior mask!

In my opinion, you do not need a mask just only for an occasion. But it is part of regular care and maintenance of the skin. These all masks have been a staple in my routine, including the new Rose Gold Illuminating Eye Mask. It truly is an answer to the tired dull eyes.

I am also enjoying the 111Skin Boosters in my everyday skincare routine. Cryo ATP Booster and Hyaluronic Acid Booster add an extra dose of nourishment. They provide anti-aging benefits while keeping the skin bright and supple.

111Skin Skin Booster, Meso Mask Review

Preet — Sun, 17 Nov 2019 03:29:22 +0000

A good skincare routine requires some important essential products which include a cleanser, exfoliant, day cream with SPF and night cream but sometimes the skin requires a little extra help to tackle specific skincare concerns such as dehydration, pores, blemishes, reducing and preventing further signs of ageing, and pigmentation spots – this is where a booster, serum, and essence comes into play. The booster, serum, and essence are not the same but different from each other, they contain high concentrations of ingredients specifically developed to provide a targeted solution for specific skin concerns. 111Skin Cryo ATP Sports Booster, Meso Infusion Leave On Overnight Mask, and Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Booster are part of my skincare routine.

What Are Boosters?

Boosters contain a high concentration of one crucial ingredient for the skin plus a combination of other active ingredients. Boosters have a lightweight texture making them easy to combine with the other products in the skincare routine. They can also be applied directly to the skin or mixed with night cream and serum. And of course, a booster is not a replacement for the day or night moisturizer. I have been using two boosters from 111Skin in my skincare routine which I am sharing below.

Cryo ATP Sports Booster

111Skin Cryo ATP Sports Booster mimics the effects of extreme cold on the skin. This booster is very lightweight. I add a few drops to my moisturizer. I have used it on the days I work out and even when not. It absorbs nicely into the skin. It gives a slight cooling sensation to the skin. The niacinamide in this serum is one of my favorite ingredients in any skincare product. I have noticed that this serum brightens, even tones, and imparts radiance to my skin. My skin looks healthy and supple. I have experienced no irritation on my combination skin. It is hydrating at the same time. So, overall a really nice booster that brightens, tightens, and hydrates the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Booster

Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Booster increases moisture levels by delivering a concentrated dose of hydrating ingredients deep into the skin. The serum is very hydrating without congesting the skin. My skin looks and feels very comfortable. It is soothing for the skin. I have experienced it to be very gentle on the dry areas of my combination skin while maintaining the balance on the oily areas. Overall, a really nice hydrating serum. My skin is soft, supple, and hydrated without looking or feeling oily or shiny. It works very well with Cryo ATP Sports Booster.

Meso Infusion Leave On Overnight Mask

Meso Infusion Leave On Overnight Mask is a wear-anywhere mask. It takes inspiration from the brand's in-clinic mesotherapy to provide a moisture-boosting, complexion-plumping treatment. The mask has a gel-like texture. It feels very cooling when applied to the skin. The gel spreads nicely onto the skin and after few minutes, it sinks in. It is very soothing on the skin. It does not feel oily or has residue. That means I can go directly to bed once it sinks in. When removing in the morning, it feels a little slippery when water is applied.

I apply a very light layer of it on the face and I use it twice a week. I have noticed my skin is smooth, hydrated, and supple in the morning. Despite being very lightweight, it is hydrating on the skin. I feel my skin texture looks refined with this mask.

111Skin Master-Masking Edit Review

Preet — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 02:07:23 +0000

111SKIN is a brand founded by globally renowned Harley Street cosmetic surgeon Dr. Yannis Alexandrides. The original formula was developed to help his patients’ skin heal after trauma. The patients were given complimentary after-treatments for more effective results and improved healing time. The new 111Skin Master-Masking Edit comprises everything needed for everyday skin concerns.

About The Brand

Collaborating with space scientists who researched the acceleration of aging in astronauts, Dr. Yannis wanted to produce a product that could induce skin’s own reparative processes. And, also to alleviate scarring and inflammation and protect against environmental pollutants. The formula included NAC Y2, a trio of actives with superior antioxidant capabilities. After noticing the skin looking younger and feeling smoother, patients started requesting more of the serum. And thus, the demand outstripped supply.

He believes in prevention, rather than intervention, as means of maintaining skin health and vitality. Thus, he realized that many people could benefit from this formula. So he worked together with his wife Eva to create the 111SKIN brand. Thus, the brand evolved from one single product to five ranges.

Each product is researched and formulated to address specific skincare concerns, taking inspiration from his 111 Harley St. Clinic. That includes the concerns he sees on a daily basis. For instance, premature aging, oily or spot-prone skin, lackluster complexions, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration. There are products that focus on damage-prone areas. That includes the neck and décolletage, under eyes, and lips.

Master-Masking Edit

Master-Masking Edit launched this month for all skincare lovers. It is basically aimed at anyone who aims for perfect skin just in time for the holidays. And yes, not just you but is for your loved ones too. 111Skin Master-Masking Edit is a collection of restorative masks to nourish, brighten and soothe your complexion.

The Upper Mask works to reduce the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles. The Lower Mask has collagen-stimulating actives for improved volume and youthful plumpness.
1x Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask – It is a celebrity and supermodel favorite mask. It balances the skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles, provides moisture to the skin, contains antioxidants, brightens skin tone.
1x Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask – It delivers beneficial nutrients into the dermis. It brightens, helps even out, stimulates collagen production. Also, it also helps restore moisture from long flights or nights, potent antioxidants in the mask condition, and moisturizes the skin.
1x Anti Blemish Bio Cellulose Facial Mask – It is a two-part mask. The upper mask treats diet, product, and perspiration-related spots. Also, helps minimize bacteria-thriving sebum for a shine-free, flawless complexion. The lower layer fights aggressive hormonal acne by reducing inflammation and redness. Overall the formula soothes, purifies, and rebalances the skin’s microbiome. Each mask works together or separately depending on the user’s concern.

The masks in 111Skin Master-Masking Edit are not just a must-have for before the holiday but also great as a post-holiday treatment. Or, before a big event to brighten, plump, and moisturize your skin. For a limited time, you can also use code VELVETLIFE20 to get 20% off on the Master-Masking Edit.
