Alcina Clarifying Herbal Mask

claims to be a clarifying herbal mask white Queen Helena prides itself being a Mint Julep masque.Alcina mask smells like a mixture of clay and tea tree oil while Queen Helena have soothing minty scent

Alcina mask helps to unclog pores,dries up cystic pimples while leaving deep clean skin without stripping skin off its moisture.After just using the mask 1 time,I notice that the mask tighten my pores while leaving my skin with a squeaky clean and cool feeling.It sooth stressed out skin well.

Meanwhile,Queen Helena mask helps to dry up pimples and also absorb excessive oil secreation from skin.In my observation,Alcina mask helps to sooth pimples in a more efficient way compare to Queen Helena.

Queen Helene

mask clean my skin to well till to the extent it dries up my skin quite a bit.

To me ,I feel that Alcina mask suit me more than Queen Helena mask since my skin is the normal type rather than oily type .

My verdict?I prefer Alcina clarifying mask over Queen Helena Mint Julep masque

Reviews: I was introduced to this wonderful mask by my facialist.

At one point of my life,my flawless skin can @ times be a bitch when I don’t get my 10 hours a day beauty sleep

The mask smells like a mixture of clay plus mints mixed with tea tree oil ;)Don’t be fooled by its ‘’herbal’’ mask tagline.This mask is a far cry from any herbs infused mask,as I don’t detect any thing smells like herbs at all

5 minutes into applying the mask,I can feel that the mask start to dries off while leaving my skin soothe and fresh.Pores seems more refined and breakouts are greatly minimise in size(if theres any)
Even so,this mask does not dries up unaffected skin but in the contary it provides overall clean sensation without stripping my skin off moisture..It gives my skin a cooling sensation which I love

It comes in tube form,allowing fuss-free usage.For my face I normally squeeze the mask out about the size of 50 cents coin

Retails at rm 86.80 for 50 ml.Available in selected saloon carrying Alcina labels only
it’s a tad pricey for such a small tube of mask,but its worth every ringgit u pay for as its trully an S.O.S mask

Pro:Smells great,really clean my skin well,contains anti-inflammatory effects,refine pores

Cons:It’s a tad pricey for such a small tube!

Repurchase : Yes
