Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask Review

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask Review - 1

There are two main things I look for when it comes to skincare. One is hydration - without upsetting the balance of my often temperamental combination skin, I want those fine lines plumped and that youthful look preserved! The other is glow. My skin can look quite dull if I don't work at it, and so any product that promises to brighten my complexion and make me all fresh and radiant looking is guaranteed to grab my attention. Hence, when Wishtrend offered me the opportunity to test and review Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask*, I said yes straight away.

The mask is a new product from Korean brand Klairs. The chief ingredient, Vitamin E, is designed to work in conjunction with Niacinamide to produce an immediate brightening effect. It can be used alone, but its powers are enhanced when paired with other skincare products containing Vitamin C (also known for its brightening properties), as the two anti-oxidants work to strengthen each other. Together, they also help to keep the skin protected against harmful free radicals that can accelerate the ageing process. In addition to this, Vitamin E possesses anti-inflammatory and skin softening properties, while another ingredient, Adenosine, helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You can use the product as a moisturiser or as a mask, or even mix a little of it into other skincare products.

I usually love the way Korean beauty products are packaged and this one is definitely no exception - the iridescent touches are unusual and very pretty. The product is housed in a glass jar and there is a clear spatula to scoop it up with if you prefer not to use your fingers.

The texture of it is extraordinary and like no other skincare product I have used before. It feels like something in between a gel and a cream - the Wishtrend website says it is "like pudding", which really is the best way to describe it. Apparently, this unusual texture is due to it being formulated as "shape memory cream", which means that after it has been disturbed, it finds its way back to its original form. I noticed that when I went to use the product the second time, it looked perfectly smooth, as though I hadn't scooped up a big chunk of it the night before. Apart from this being fascinating (and fun to play with!) the advantage is that it will adhere really well to your skin upon application.

I find the mask to be quite sticky on my skin, and it takes a little while to absorb. Others might not find this, and some might not mind it. For me, it makes it a product I prefer to apply at night rather than in the mornings when I'm rushing to get ready. I do find it hydrating, but it's not my favourite thing to use for this purpose, as I prefer the feel of either a richer moisturising cream or a hydrating sheet mask. However, I love it for brightening. I really did see almost instant effects with it, especially when layering it on after a Vitamin C serum (the one I talked about in this post). If I apply the two products in the evening, I wake up with lovely bright looking skin the next day. For this reason, it's definitely earned a place in my bathroom cabinet for the foreseeable future.

One of my favourite things about this product is its versatility. I've seen a couple of other bloggers review this and it's clear that different people will get different things out of it, depending on their own skin's needs. For some, this will be a lovely daily moisturiser. For me, it works best as a treatment a couple of times a week or whenever I feel I need a brightening boost.

  1. I really like the sound of this mask and, like you, would probably pair it with a Vitamin C serum and wear it overnight. I really don't need any more skincare at the moment but this is seriously tempting me! xx

    1. Yes, it's great that you have options! Even if you prefer one way, skin can go through different stages and you could switch up how you use this accordingly. x

  4. I am a fan of Vitamin E, and more so of Niacinamide! This mask for me works exactly like it does for you, too sticky for daytime, but great as a brightening treatment a few times a week.

  8. Thankfully I am able to use this as a day time moisturizer too so I get a lot of use out of this mask. You're right about different skin types seems to get different use out of this product which makes it a huge winner in my book.

  10. I love K-Beauty its so smart how they are the forefront of some pretty amazing products
    I would suggest you add an AHA into your routine as well i have a Combo skin too and ive found my skin looks better when using an Acid Tone like Pixi Glow Tonic it really amazing as AHA's can stimulate the fibroblasts which produce collagen so that will effectively plump up your skin

    If you can use Glycolic as that can be sometimes a bit irritating you could try Lactic Acid that has the same effects but is a little larger in molecule size than Glycolic

    1. Yes it works great that way - your body works to repair damage done during the day while you sleep, so it's the perfect time to slap on a nourishing mask and let it do its thing. x

  13. Oh this is perfect! I don't have any Vitamin E in my skincare atm and I was looking to fill the gap! Thanks girl!

  15. The pretty shimmering packaging caught my eye instantly and I'm a massive Vitamin E fan so this definitely sounds right up my street :) I'm always up for a glowy product as I can definitely relate on the 'dull looking skin if I don't work on it' aspect. I love that it brightens and that you saw results almost instantly, it sounds truly perfect <3
