Review: DAISO Coenzyme Q10 Mask

Volume: 25ml

Made in: Korea

Price: RM 5 for 3 pieces

Ingredients: Water, glycerin, BG, ethanol, snail secretion filtrate, hydroxylethylcellulose, metylparaben, phenoxyethanol, ubiquinone, tea leaf essence, Centella asiatica extract, glycyrrhizin acid 2k, triethanolamine, carbomer, EDTA2NA, hyaluronic acid, tocophenol, fragrance (Google Translate)




I am running out of masks so I thought to try out DAISO's masks. I bought a box of the coenzyme Q10 variant, which has 3 masks in it. What really got me to buy this mask is because it contains snail secretion filtrate. And I am absolutely crazy for snail slime. The second pull factor was because it was made in Korea, not China or Vietnam (like Daiso's other beauty products are)

So how did the mask fare?

Firstly, the essence is not very thick nor runny, which is just nice for me. The mask wasn't drippy, so another plus point for that. And I don't feel sticky after using this, given that snail masks are always sticky and heavier.

The cutting fits nicely on my face, and I didn't have to fold up any parts, which also surprised me. One thing that annoys me is the scent of the mask. It is so very overpowering.

The mask's material is the usual non-woven ones you will get among paper masks, however I suspect the quality is a bit inferior to others as the fibers comes out easily. Also when I am using the mask, I kind of felt a reaaaaaaaaaaaally minimal tingling sensation (kind of because I wasn't sure if it qualified as tingling) . I guess it must be the alcohol. But it disappears after a while and I am comfortable using it after.

Packaging: 3/5 Ditch the paper box will do. Also, product description and ingredients list in English are really necessary.

Scent: 1/5 Too strong floral smell. Me no likey

Cutting: 4/5 Just nice

Effect: 3.8/5 Okay good kind of mask. Effect wise it is supposed to reduce wrinkles, but that is something you can observe only after using this for a long long time. Moisturising, good. Soothing, okay-ish. Whitening, yes my skin didn't seem so dead anymore.

Price: 3/5 Well, effect wise this is on par with those standard Korean masks you can get anywhere online. However, I did purchase Korean masks under RM1 per piece so at RM 1.67 per piece it loses out a bit. I think they can cut cost by not using cardboard box as packaging. Plus points for availability though. As cheap Korean masks are a bit hard to get by *coughexpensiveshippingQoo10cough* so I think it's good that people living near to a Daiso store can easily purchase this.


Overall: 3.5/5 Okay-good mask, just that the floral smell is so strong. I also wish they'd release a line of various ingredients.  That'll surely attract a lot of customers.
