  • Ciracle Jeju Volcanic Clay Mask & Ciracle Vitamin C20 Serum

    8.10.2011


    omg! what have I have here?

    I received a package from Korea last week (yes Korea!) directly to my home. The package consisted of two skincare items from Ciracle which is the all famous Jeju Volcanic Clay Mask 135g and a Vitamin C20 Serum 30g. Truth be told, I have never heard of the brand Ciracle before. Obviously that's because I am not from Korea! Quite excited to hold these items in my hand and I brought them to my office to try.

    from Korea with Love "Jeju Volcanic Clay Mask"

    The first item - Ciracle Jeju Volcanic Clay Mask 135g is a clay based mask that helps to tighten pores and prevents blemishes (so it says on the box). We have plenty of clay based masks in the market but what's special about this is that we don't have many or could I say it is not easy to find a clay mask that's made from the volcanic clay of Jeju. The very rare ingredient only hails from Jeju island, Korea. Jeju Volcanic Clay based mask helps to tighten pores and deep cleanse sebum and dirt from the face. Clay in particularly can absorb excess oils, dirt and help remove blackheads (the firming of the pores will push out blackheads). The only setback from using clay based masks is - drying, which is totally fine with me because I would just need to use a good moisturiser after.

     let's try the face mask on someone?

    I tried the volcanic clay mask in the office and sparked some curiosity from none other than the male crowd could you believe it? Let me introduce you to Siu Yan, he's my colleague and he seriously takes such good care of his skin! an organic/nature beauty junkie who never fails to tell me which product contains harmful chemicals that's banned or would be cancerous. Yes...believe it man.

    another victim Jeremy!

    live experiment on Siu Yan
    (if he's okay, this product is okay!)

    His verdict? it is drying but not as drying compared to the clay mask products in our market. There's clay mud scent and the mud is smooth to touch and application. Areas that particularly has blackheads or dirt (nose, cheeks) should be covered generously to see the effect. Leave the mask on for 10-15mins or when you see it's dried up (begins to cracked), wash the mask off with warm water or room temperature water so it would be easier to clean off.

    VERDICT

    As for Jeremy, he says his skin is noticeably brighter after washing the mask off. He likes the scent of the clay mixed with the water, it gives out a earthy scent. For me, I did not notice my skin was brighter but the first thing I notice was that my skin was firmer and I could see my blackheads on my cheeks and nose. I squeeze them out right away! pesky blackheads!

    next product? Vitamin Source C-20 Serum

    Vitamin C serum packed with anti-oxidants

    Right after my mask was off, I got straight to using this serum on my face because the clay mask was too drying for me. I have dry combination skin you see, and clay masks I can use but I have to take extra care on moisturising my face after. The serum is said to be packed with Vitamin C benefits - anti aging, peeling properties, softening, moisturizing and protecting. While peeling functions is good, sensitive skin type should take note of this as it might provoke tingling, inflammation or irritation from use. I do not understand how the product can protect, maybe protect against signs of aging due to the anti oxidants? definitely not protecting the skin because with peeling functions, one would have to use sunblock to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays on your peeled off skin layer.

    The texture of the product is watery but upon application it is really sticky! this type of serum is great for night use, just right before you go to sleep so that your skin cellular level could benefit from the Vitamin C serum. Citrus scent smells is refreshing, I do find a particularly liking to this product but not to its stickiness. Easily ignored once I sleep.

      They have a sign up that they are closed for cleaning from 2PM
      to 3PM - while at Buttermilk there is only one bathroom for the whole campground
      and I can see why they can't close it. A head light is one of the most essential camping gadgets during night for the convenience, if there is no power supply at the site of camping.
