Is your skin in deep need of a TLC? Know what to give your skin in today's sheet mask review.
In the past month, JKOMECS sent me two mask packs to try out and review honestly. I'm talking about the galactomyces and snail essence sheet masks. After testing them for two weeks, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Not only by the hospitality of the brand throughout the testing period but also by the quality of the products!
In this post, I'll be reviewing these two sheet masks and talking about my overall experience with the products. So without further due, let's start!
The brand
JKOMECS is a Korean skincare company, based in Seoul and Eastern Europe. It is known for its three skincare brands called JKOSMEC, SKINSOMNIA, and 5C CURE. Each brand has its concept, making the entire catalog of products diverse and unique.
For example, JKOSMEC focuses on basic everyday products, such as facial cleansers, masks, and body gels. While, SKINSOMNIA specializes in treatment products like sheet masks and eye patches that restore the skin to a healthy, fresh, and rested look. 5C Cure, on the other hand, offers mostly fun sheet masks made out of fruits and vegetables.
Today's products are the Skin Solution Galatomyces Sheet Mask from JKOSMEC and the Snail Real Essence Sheet Mask from SKINSOMNIA. Curious to know how they work? Let the sheet mask review start!
The Skin Solution Galactomyces Sheet Mask Review
Key Ingredient 🗝️
The main ingredient of the mask is fermented filtrate of galactomyces - a species of yeast used in the process of making rice wine and that contains minerals, vitamins, and amino acids that moisturize, and restore skin balance.
According to dermatologist Marisa Garshick, M.D, this all-in-one ingredient can also control sebum production and improve the appearance of acne, pores, pigmentation, and overall radiance on the skin.
Main promises ✔️
According to the brand, the galactomyces mask promises to restore the skin's health, smooth texture, deeply hydrate, and provide an overall clearer and radiance skin tone.
But, can these claims hold in real life? Let's see how my overall experience with this mask was.
My Experience ✨
After receiving both mask packs, I tested each one for two weeks. The galactomyces sheet mask was no different, and I must say I'm positively surprised!
This mask is probably one of the best sheet masks I've ever used. When you open the packaging, the mask is completely drenched in galactomyces serum. This serum is very rich but at the same time lightweight. And, unlike many sheet masks, it doesn't leave your skin sticky after taking the mask.
After two weeks of regular use, the overall result is smooth, hydrated, and glowy skin. For my normal to combo skin, this is amazing. And even though I don't have many skin problems, I truly believe this can be an easy go-to product to all skin types whenever you want to pamper and nourish your skin.
In this sense, I think galactomyces is a great ingredient that you should include in your daily routine. Not only because it leaves your skin looking amazing. But, it is multipurpose and can save you some bucks in your overall skincare routine.
The Snail Real Essence Sheet Mask Review
Key Ingredient 🗝️
As the name suggests, this mask is made of Snail Secretion Filtrate extract. Or, in other words, snail slime.
Although it might sound weird for westerners, this is a very common ingredient in Asian skincare. From cleansers to creams, snail extract is present in many skin formulas and it's raved by many brands and users for its skin benefits.
According to incidecoder, snail slime has repair and hydration properties. Plus, it's claimed to be able to repair everything from dry patches, acne breakouts to signs of aging. As stated by the Beauty Brains blog, this is all possible because snail slime is a fully packed nourishing ingredient - with a diverse mixture of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoprotein enzymes, hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, and antimicrobial peptides.
All in all, this makes snail slime an awesome ingredient to include in your skincare regimen. Especially if you are looking for nourished, hydrated, and radiant skin.
Main promises ✔️
According to Skinsomnia, this sheet mask promises to hydrate and nourish your skin. Plus, give your face a radiant look thanks to its excellent absorption abilities and nutrient agents.
My Experience ✨
As mentioned before, I tested both masks for two weeks, and just like the galactomyces mask, I am positively surprised with the results of the snail sheet mask.
Unlike, the previous mask, this snail sheet mask tends to be a bit heavier on the essence. This means that for some skins, the product on the mask fabric can be more difficult to absorb. However, in my case, I didn't find that to happen.
The mask has a deep cooling sensation on the skin, which makes it perfect to de-puff the face in the morning. But, it also works well as a before-bed treatment.
After using this mask for two weeks, the overall results are hydrated and supple skin. The repairing agents of the snail slime also helped protect my skin barrier, and I noticed a clearer complexion afterward.
Overall, I think this mask will work well with all skin types. However, due to its repairing and nourishing abilities, acne or dehydrated complexions will benefit the most.
Final Rating
In conclusion, both sheet masks are great tools to include in your skincare regimen, regardless of your skin type. If you are looking for a smooth, hydrated, and radiant complexion, the galactomyces mask is your best choice. But, if you are looking for a more nourishing and repairing solution, the snail essence mask is the one for you.
The final rating of both masks is 5/5 stars. So don't forget to give these two bad boys a try. I promise you won't regret it 😉
Also, a big thank you to JKOMECS for sending me these two products!
