I am finally motoring through the sheet masks I picked up in Paris with today’s instalment of Sheet Mask Sunday featuring the French brand Filorga! Known as a more “derm” brand for using ingredients normally used in injectables in topical applications, this wasn’t a brand I started looking at until my “older years” as the price point is quite a bit higher and the products are more anti-aging focused. I had never seen the sheet masks before in Canada so obviously these ended up in my cart!
What makes this mask special? This mask contains hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA which is part of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs). NMFs are found in the upper layers of the epidermis that keep skin looking healthy, smooth and hydrated. There is also aloe vera to refresh the skin and bring instant freshness.Â
One thing that surprised me was how well the masks fit for sheet masks that were NOT made in Korea. Usually when they are made elsewhere, in this case France, I have found the mask fit to be a little bit odd or the material not quite right in terms of absorption of essence. With this sheet mask, I would not have been able to tell that the mask was not made in Korea!
Mask Summary:
Price: $15 USD each
What it does: Moisturize and and plump skin
Scent: Oooh, kind of floral and sweet
Essence Type: Clear, slightly viscous
Duration:Â 30 minutes
Thickness: Thin
Mask Fit: I liked it as it felt like a slightly smaller fit which worked better for my face shape, but I don’t know if it will work for others
Tackiness: Light
Hydration: Pretty good!
Other notes: N/A
What makes this mask special? This is a black charcoal mask infused with hydrolyzed collagen to visibly smooth wrinkles and lift skin.
Mask Summary:
Price:Â $15 USD each
What it does: Smooth and lift skin
Scent:Â Like most charcoal masks, not quite floral, a little medicinal, but relatively pleasant
Essence Type:Â Clear, slightly viscous
Duration:Â 30 minutes
Thickness: Medium, but consistent with what other charcoal masks are like
Mask Fit: Good
Tackiness:Â Light to medium
Hydration:Â Pretty good!
Other notes: N/A
Final verdict: If these were readily available here, I would definitely use these again for a more deluxe skincare treatment! I would say that both masks lean more toward the hydrating side so you probably will not need moisturizer afterwards. These would also be nice to use in the drier winter months.
You can find the Filorga Time Filler and Hydra Filler Masks at probably most drugstores in Europe.
