Review: Olay Aquaction Softening Sleeping Mask

Weight: 130g
Price: RM 50-ish
Availability: Nationwide pharmacies

I've uncovered this sleeping mask amongst the skincare products stash at home and it's nearing its expiration date O_O

My previous sleeping mask, NARUKO's Oriental Beauty Tea Youth Revitalizing Night Gelly was empty already and I just picked this randomly to use.

Let's look at the ingredients, shall we?

It doesn't have loads of different plant extract unlike Eastern beauty brands, but let's see how it fares!

First impression, the tub was huge and kinda heavy. The tub was sealed with a plastic cap so it is completed separated from possible contamination. However, they did not provide any spatula for hygiene purpose. Oh well.

Moving on, the smell is similar to Laneige's Water Sleeping Pack (the older version), so it is a nice surprise! Quite relaxing to my nose.  The colour and also texture are similar too.

For optimum results, this sleeping mask cannot be used on its own. I tried only using this mask and it was so dry I have to apply one layer of cream 10 minutes after.

Firstly I slap on toner and serum before slathering a generous amount of this sleeping mask to ensure that my skin gets all the moisture that it needs. Anyway the mask wasn't sticky so you don't have to worry about the mask accidentally staining your pillow or bedsheet.

The morning after, my skin feels slightly oilier than usual, but feels very moisturised if I pair it together with serum.

Packaging: 3/5 Nothing surprising there. Big tub and no spatula :/

Smell: 4/5 Smells pretty good, very relaxing but disappears once applied onto skin.

Moisture level: 3/5 Pretty average and needs to be layered/used together with other products to prevent my skin from drying out.

Overall:3.5/5 Big tub, but not really big on effect. it's pretty good for body use though:)

Review: Olay Regenerist Advanced Cleansing System

Price: RM99 in pharmacies

Sis bought this for home use. And a few brush heads so that we can use it by swapping brush heads.

The brush is powered by 1 AA battery, which was included in the box. The bristles did not seem very soft and I feel that I could brush my toilet surface with it (just kidding). Inside the box there's also a 20ml Skin Renewal Cleanser to be used together with the device.

It has 2 speeds, which I did not realise until I've started using it for a week! I had it on the High speed O.O

Removing and putting on the brush head is super easy. Just grab the brush head and pull out; and just push in until you hear a clicking sound.

How to use this? Wet your face and the brush head, lather your cleanser and spread onto your face so that it provides some cushion between your skin and the bristles. Turn on the device on low and gently work them across your face. Don't linger for long; I am done with my whole face within 30-40 seconds max. You can also wet the bristles repeatedly during the wash so that it wont be too harsh on your skin.

This cleansing brush is good for rougher skin. I do think that it may irritate super sensitive skin. For other skin types, it should be good for use. The mechanism works like physical exfoliation to reduce surface accumulation of dead skin cells and other gunk.

I have comedone prone skin, so I try my best to alternate cleansing methods to thoroughly cleanse my face, I find it especially easy to remove blackheads etc after using this.

Design: 4/5 It fits right in my hand and with an easily replaced brush head

Cleansing power: 4/5 

Overall: 4/5 Value for money price point. It's 10x cheaper than Clarisonic's Mia 2.
