Sulwhasoo gained a name for itself thanks to the brilliant research and devotion at the Sulwhasoo Heritage & Science Center. They study many things like the star active: ginseng from all angles.

The Mask Collection

Today I will be focussing on one product from this collection. But first, here's a quick recap of the different masks available at Sulwhasoo.

• Herbal clay mask: Designed to treat stressed skin, the cream texture targets dilated pores, excess shine and lines.
• Clarifying mask: This is perfect for dryer skin types. Removing flaky skin and impurities, it has a peel-off texture.
• White Ginseng radiance refining mask: If you want a quick refresh during your day, then this 5-minute mask is perfect. It promotes brighter skin by oxygenating and smoothing its texture.
• Overnight vitalizing mask: Giving you a baby skin finish, this overnight mask softens skin and deeply restores hydration.

The Herbal Clay Purifying Mask

I selected the herbal mask as it suits my skin concerns. The gel-cream clay formula is super hydrating. Offering a gentle but effective cleansing of the skin, it removes dead skin cells and any build-up of makeup or pollution on the surface. The mask can be used on sensitive skin and brings a cool soothing sensation to the skin when applied.

What's Inside?

The clay inside the mask originates from the Yellow sea mudflats in west Korea. Naturally refined by the movement of the tide, the fine grain helps capture impurities found in expression lines, fine wrinkles and pores.

The formula is enriched with the “Korean traditional herb complex” made of mugwort, heartleaf, houttuynia powder, and six other soothing herbs. The mask uses a natural PHA exfoliant to smooth the skin's grain.

My Review

I was happy to try this mask, as I have always been inspired by traditional medicine and herbs. The mask slides onto the skin quickly and feels very refreshing. One thing I liked about the mask was the comfort. I didn't experience any tight feelings. My skin was much clearer, pores tightened and relaxed. It took a couple of uses to get the best results, and I occasionally used it as a spot care cream.

First, what is white Ginseng?

Since the 1960s, the brand has been researching Ginseng. Using old Korean texts, they find a modern interpretation to formulate the best products. In this particular product, they peel and dry the Ginseng, aka Ginger, without any heat to obtain white Ginseng.

White Ginseng Radiance Refining Mask

The facial mask has a golden gel texture that glides onto the skin perfectly. Suitable for every skin type, it acts rapidly and deeply on the skin. By clarifying and exfoliating the surface, this mask removes dead skin cells and build-ups of pollution or cosmetics. Your skin will be incredibly brightened and cleansed in just 5-minutes. Yes, you heard right! This is the type of mask you can use under the shower or for a quick reset.

What’s Inside?

Inside the lightweight golden gel is a multitude of potent actives:

• White ginseng powder that is more than four years old. This plant contains around14% moisture.
• Honey: Well known for its moisturizing, protecting and healing properties. Honey is a natural antioxidant.

One product, multiple actions.

This mask is for you if you want to save time and precious money. It takes only 5 minutes to work its magic and combines actions to give you flawless skin.

• Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells and smooths skin
• Cleanse: Removes dirt or dust for fresh, naked skin.
• Treat: The Ginseng and honey work together to repair and restore your skin to its best condition.

My Experience

What a dream come true! Not only did this mask work wonders, but it is a pure delight to use. The golden gel is beautifully scented with a gentle fragrance. My skin was much brighter after using it and, over time, cleared up. I used it in the shower, and it has never been so easy to do my skincare routine. I would 100% recommend this before a night out or an event.

Other masks I have tried and enjoyed from the brand are the Overnight Vitalizing Mask and Clarifying Mask.

My Experience

I have never been a fan of doing long skin care rituals at the end of the day because of all the exhaustion. I try to do the basic steps, but sometimes the skin needs more than that. My skin had started to look pale and dull because of dryness, and I couldn't apply moisture multiple times throughout the day.

This sleeping mask by Sulwhasoo has been a huge life-saver for me, and I am so glad I invested in this. After I started using it, my skin looked much brighter and healthier in the morning after waking up. The best part was that it kept my skin hydrated all day, and the radiance did not fade. The texture of my skin got softer, and it helped firm up the skin. It's an easy way to keep your skin nourished and glowing. Also, I enjoy using it after the Clarifying Mask, and I get the best results when my skin looks dull and congested.

Sulwhasoo Clarifying Mask

A great peel-off mask that helps in removing impurities and dead skin to give you clear, radiant skin.

Key ingredients

• Solomon’s seal helps improve the skin's texture by removing dead skin. It also extracts the impurities from the skin, making it look clear and radiant.
• Golden-and-silver honeysuckle helps in boosting the radiance of the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and graduates acne as well.

Benefits

• Softens the texture of the skin.
• Removes dead cells from the surface of the skin.
• Cleans out the impurities from the skin.
• Suitable for all skin types.
• Decreases the size of the pores.
• Provides radiance to the skin.

My Experience

After continuous exposure to pollution and the sun, the skin tends to catch impurities more than one can imagine. For people with sensitive skin like me and an outdoor job, keeping skin free from impurities is difficult. A larger pore size than normal does not help as the dust and dirt tend to settle deeper in the skin, causing blackheads. I have tried various cleaning products but still get severe breakouts because of impurities. Even if a product is good, it does not clean out the deeper impurities, which makes my skin vulnerable.

I have tried products like the first activating serum from Sulwhasoo, which was amazing. I decided to give it a shot when I saw this clarifying mask. After using it for the first time, I could see the radiance on my skin. I could feel that the mask had cleaned my skin deeply and removed dead skin cells from the surface. Continuous usage helped in decreasing the pore size as well. My skin's texture got softer and looked more radiant than ever before.
