Hello everyone,
To be honest I was working on this product review in Seoul and I just forgot to publish it, until now. . lol
Skinfood Freshmade Lemon Mask
Product description: A wash-off fruit mask with a moisturizing gel containing lemon extract from North Africa for brightening effect.
6-free formula: Mineral Oil, Silicon Oil, Talc, Sorbic Acid, TEA (Triethanolamine), and Benzyl alcohol.
How to use:
1) After removing make-up and cleansing the face, apply generously around the entire face avoiding the eyes and lips.
2) After 10~15 minutes, wash off with lukewarm water.
Product price: $11.00 USD, at least when I bought it in Japan a while ago.
Scent: Citrus, definitely has a tart scent of lemon that some may or may not like.
Product period use: 1 year on and off - ongoing
I was so enticed by the concept of this item, since this was the freshmade line and it offered quite a few more options too. At the time, I really wanted just the Pineapple (Peeling mask w/ PHA) as I've never (to do this, actually. .) used a product with PHA in it. Although, at the time, it was completely sold out when I had talked to the employees. It was the best seller of all the available freshmade mask, so I ended up just buying the lemon one on a whim.
I have to say the scent for the majority of the line had a very pleasant scent! This product in particular smells of fresh lemon, though I could see why some wouldn't be a big fan as it's a bit on the overwhelming side.
After cleansing the skin, apply the mask and wait about 10-15 minutes . .
I continued to do this for a few months, three times a week . .
Though I felt there was a fair amount of moisture on my skin afterwards, I didn't notice a brightening effect that was significant. . bummer.
I still have the product to this day, barely any of it has been used and I don't really find much of a use for it. But, along with another product (Missha Milk Pack) similar to this, I've just decided to apply it as a wash-off mask on my body instead of just having it thrown out.
I'm a bit disappointed, but that's fine because there's been quite a few products that have been more on the underwhelming side these days. A part of being a "beauty" blogger is sharing my genuine experience with you all, whether sponsored or not . . I will always stay true to my honesty when it comes to product reviews.
I love innovative products, as well just trying out anything new that catches my eye or is the current "hype" to really debunk if it's effective or not.
That being said, just because I wasn't a fan of this product, doesn't mean Skinfood carries nothing that is effective! Trust me, there are effective products, I've just had my fair share of products from them that are good and bad.
Rate: 2.5/5.

Additionally, I want to apologize for the lack of content on my product review blog. Recently, I've been offered a few sponsorships because of it and I'm not only very excited. . but, very grateful towards all of you!
When the time comes, I'll be putting a review for a sponsored product on this blog, so please look forward to that too.
I am in the midst of a lot with school, and if all goes as planned, I'll be moving out on my own attending university! So, I will keep you all updated. . Of course, that'll be via my YouTube channel.
