Exfoliation is the KEY for Glowy, Dewy Skin!

Did you know that exfoliating your skin not only eliminates the dead skin cells but also refines your pores, polishes your skin and smoothes out wrinkles?!

As someone who has suffered from adult acne, I always thought to exfoliate my skin was a big no-no as it would just aggravate my skin’s condition, especially in the case of physical exfoliants. Little did I know that exfoliating (gently) would actually help to reduce acne and also hyper-pigmentation as it speeds up cell turnover.

Laneige Clear-C Peeling Mask

On a recent trip to Hong Kong, a Sales Assistant in a SaSa store recommended I try the Laneige Clear-C Peeling Mask and I have been using it for a few months, so I felt it was a good time to do a full review on this product. Let’s dive straight into the review and my thoughts on this peeling mask.

Texture and Smell

Laneige Clear-C Peeling Mask | Yoghurt-like Texture

The Laneige Clear-C Peeling Mask feels like a true hybrid between a face mask and a traditional scrub. As you can see from the pictures, the texture looks somewhat like yoghurt (that’s the best way I can describe it!). It is creamy and soft in texture and then you have the grainy scrub particles mixed into the formula.

The mask is slightly thick in texture, which I personally like because I can spread it evenly on my skin. Also, it has a very fresh and mild sweet scent.

Laneige Clear-C Peeling Mask | Review and Thoughts

It contains ingredients like strawberry seeds and jelly-like soft konjac granules to help gently exfoliate your skin. As with all other Laneige Clear-C line products, this too contains different plant-derived AHA malic acids.

How To Use

This is a simple product to use. Apply the mask to freshly washed and dry face. Massage the product gently, avoiding the eye and lip area. Wash off using lukewarm water and apply your usual skincare products.

*I usually use one spatula full for my entire face and leave a thin layer of the mask on my skin for about a minute. *

You can use this mask 2-3 times in a week, depending on what your skin needs. I would recommend you NOT use any additional AHA or BHA products on the same day as you use this mask since it already contains Malic Acid, which is an AHA.

Final Verdict

Laneige Clear-C Peeling Mask | Review and Thoughts

The first time I used this mask, I was a bit confused because I was expecting to see a thin traditional mask that is meant to be left on the skin for at least 10-15 minutes, not a creamy and grainy textured mask. To be honest I wouldn’t call this a peeling mask and I feel those words are very misleading for this product. This, for me, is a gentle scrub. Having said that, I must say that the product in itself is wonderful and gives me instant results.

Like I mentioned before, I do not use this as a traditional scrub (on a wet face), but prefer to use it on dry skin and I also like to leave it on for about a minute or two before I jump in the shower and start to gently massage it into the skin before washing it off completely.

The mask feels very gentle on the skin, yet you can feel that the tiny granules are actually getting rid of all the dead skin and gunk on your face. It’s a very satisfying feeling! I’ve been using this mask once a week for over a month now and every time I use it I can see my skin looks brighter and my skincare products soak in really nicely afterwards. I think this would be a fantastic scrub for even the most sensitive skin, however, if you are someone who enjoys using very coarse and thorough scrubs, then this might not be for you.

Would I repurchase? Definitely, YES!
