Hey there everyone! Thanks so much for visiting Snails and Starfish! Today’s review comes about a product that I got in Memebox’s Missha box, and I was so taken with it that I decided I had to write a review for y’all- Missha’s Super Aqua Double Enzyme Mask.

As I stated earlier, I received this mask as part of a Memebox, but after a quick Ebay search, it looks like it is available from ~ $13 USD with free shipping from Korea. On the card that came with the box, here is the description that came along with the mask, claiming what it is supposed to do-

“This oxygen mask removes dead skin cells and impurities to purify and vitalize skin tone. It’s subtle tickling and bubbling effects results in a natural phase of the oxygen micro-peeling process and will leave your complexion brighter and detoxified. You will begin feeling it’s purifying effects immediately. This mask also contains special enzymes and vitamins that will protect your skin from harmful environmental factors. The natural pure water and rice bran water will alleviate skin irritation and redness by reducing your skin’s sensitivity.”

Wow. Some big promises. So, how well does the mask deliver on these?

The first thing I have to say about this is that it does bubble- so much so that bu the time I went to use it for the second time, it had started bubbling in the jar!

The actual mask is more of a cream consistency. There are small, multicolored bead-type things interspersed in the cream, but they are soft and not meant to be an exfoliant. Spread out on the skin, it actually kind of reminds me of a thinner sort of cold-cream-

The mask has a very mild smell, which kind of reminds me of a fresh, ivory-soap kind of scent. It’s not overpowering, and it doesn’t bother my skin.

My favorite part about this mask is the way it feels when I first apply it. Oh mannn, oh man, not only does it ever-so-slightly tingle, but it’s also very cooling, which is so awesome in the summer heat. Maybe one of my top three AB-feels I’ve ever feeled. Wonderfully refreshing.

This mask does what it says it does. Not only that, but it does it well. This might be a placebo effect, but I do feel like my skin is brighter after using this. What’s not a placebo is that increase in softness I feel immediately after washing it off. I use this whenever i’m feeling a little sallow, and I can physically feel the difference especially in the skin on my cheeks. Oh, another weird thing, I’ve had my mom say that I look whiter in the first couple of hours, but this is definitely a temporary effect. The only time my skin has been irritated by this product was when I had a small cut on my face and it got in the wound…so I can’t really blame the mask for that haha.

I’m very wary of masks that say they will do anything for your skin in the long-term. I’m doubly skeptical of anything that claims to “detoxify” anything in your body (makes me think of Kylie Jenner instagram tea-toxes…). But this mask is awesome. A little bit goes a long way, it has an awesome whipped texture, light and non-irritating on the skin, and all around great. I like to use this product in the morning when I feel like my skin could use some brightening up before work.

I don’t know how it does it, but it does. Cheers to you, Missha! This is a product i’ll definitely be repurchasing, and recommend it whole-heartedly!
