Collagen lifting mask for cheek pores: Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack

Why did I try the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack?

I was looking for simple firming care I could do at home because of my nasolabial folds (smile lines) and cheek pores, and that's how I found the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack. Lately I sigh every time I look in the mirror, haha. My smile lines seem deeper than before when I laugh, and why are the pores on my cheeks so visible,,

When I try to cover them with makeup, the foundation settles into the pores and makes them stand out even more, and by evening that area looks lifted and patchy, which bugged me. So I searched around for easy firming care at home, and what I found was this Ceramine collagen mask pack ^^

What kind of mask is the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack?

The Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack is not a sheet mask soaked in essence. It is a paper-type lifting mask in which low-molecular collagen and plant collagen are dried into a mesh-thread structure. Ceramine is a brand from Anjin Bio, and the one I tried this time is the collagen mask pack.

Put simply, when you stick it on a damp face, the collagen threads cling tightly, then dry and gently pull the skin, so it's a mask made just for lifting. One box holds 10 sheets, and each is split into upper and lower pieces so you can cover your whole face from forehead to chin.

Opening the box: the sheets are way thinner than expected

When the package arrived and I opened the box, I was surprised by how super-thin the sheets are, lol. "Are there really 10 sheets in here?" They're transparent and thin like paper.

Which side goes on your skin?

The smooth coated side of the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack should touch your skin. Look closely and the two sides differ: one is smooth and coated, the other slightly rough. Here's the key point! If you stick the rough side on, it reportedly won't adhere well, so be sure to check before applying 😃

How does the collagen thread lifting work?

The core of the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack is a structure where low-molecular collagen and plant collagen are dried into the gaps of a matrix-shaped lifting thread. It is said to contain about 15,000ppm of low-molecular collagen, along with plant collagen extracted from soybeans.

Once the threads cling to your face, they meet moisture and swell, then meet air and dry, pulling the skin as they do.

In the process, it is said to help tighten enlarged pores and smooth fine lines without irritation. Also, when you peel it off, unneeded dead skin, sebum and oil are absorbed and come away with it, so you reportedly don't need a separate peeling gel.

Main ingredients include soy collagen, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed silk, wheat sprout extract, adenosine and sodium hyaluronate.

How do you apply the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack?

The key is to apply the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack to a face you haven't dried after cleansing. Adding even more water as you apply keeps the sheet from lifting and makes it stick snugly.

I put the upper piece on first, lining it up with the forehead and under the eyes, then the lower piece toward the chin. At first I thought, "Is this even sticking?" but as I wet it and smoothed it gently with my hand, I could feel it cling to my skin 'heh'

It's best to avoid the eyebrows when applying, because they can get pulled up when you peel it off, haha.

You leave it on for about 15 minutes, but my skin is normal, so I left it on for nearly 20. As time went on, my face felt gradually tighter.

Do dead skin and sebum really come off when you peel it?

I was a bit surprised that dead skin and sebum from my skin came off on the inside of the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack sheet. I peeled it slowly from bottom to top as the guide says, and this,, the peeling feels really different, lol. I realized that's why you don't need a peeling gel ^^

I rinsed off the leftover residue gently with cold water, as if soothing my face, and after cleansing I could immediately feel how smooth and soft my cheeks were. It's not magic where smile lines vanish at once, haha, but that area felt slightly firmer, so I thought it'd be good to keep doing it.

Who is the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack right for?

Having tried it, I think the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack suits people like these.

• People bothered by cheek pores or smile lines
• People who want simple firming care at home
• People who want to tidy up dead skin and sebum in one go

On the other hand, if your skin is very sensitive, this type peels off dead skin and could be a bit irritating, so I'd suggest leaving it on briefly at first and watching how your skin reacts 😃

Verdict: can a paper mask really work?

Honestly, at first I was half doubtful: "Would a paper mask even work?" But because of the smooth feeling right after peeling and that satisfying peel (?), lol, I kept finding myself reaching for it.

With 10 sheets per box, it's also just right for steady care once or twice a week. If you want to start firming care at home without any big procedure, the Ceramine Collagen Mask Pack seems worth trying once ^^
