Hey guys! Today i’m going to be doing a review that I’ve been super excited to write for a long time: Ariul’s 24 Hours Moisturizing Spa Water Detox Mask – Wow what a mouthful haha. It’s available right now as a box with a few sheet masks on Memebox (which i’m not going to link to because i’m sure it will be sold out by the time I post this) and on eCosmeticWorld for $26.00 with free shipping! All photos not taken by me are from Ariul’s website, entirely in Korean.

Full disclosure- I originally got this product as part of Memebox’s Brightening box, back in Memebox’s better days (RIP bby). And I’ve been so obsessed with it, I broke my personal vendetta-boycott-online-version-of-quivering-my-lip-and-stamping-my-feet against Memebox to buy it. Additionally, I do not speak a lick of Korean, so I got my friend Geonhoo (who is still learning English) to collaborate with me. The reason i’m telling you this is because we tried to put the Korean infographic things into English for you all, but some of it probably got lost. Oh and here’s Hoo is Las Vegas, he loved it-

Anyways! Onto the review.

So the official (long) name of this product is SPA WATER 24 Hours Moisturizing Detox Mask, and it comes in a pretty decent size (100ml). I do not know why this thing calls itself a mask- it’s definitely a cleanser. A unique cleanser, but still a cleanser. I attempted one time to leave it on and use it as a wash off mask, but the bubbles kind of dried up after about twenty minutes, and it wasn’t as fun to use.

The Korean website has some NICE ASS INFORGRAPHIC thingies to go with this.

How majestic.

Ok so what we gathered from this is that the Spa Water Mask is actually part of a series along with a cream, serum, and mist, further solidifying it’s status as a cleanser you damn dirty liar. This series will make you “a queen with gorgeous skin” WOW THOSE ARE SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL. Basically, the bubbles produced by the CLEANSER penetrate into the skin, cleaning out the pores, providing deep hydration, and brightening the complexion. Ariul was kind enough to draw us a visual of this-

so fancy.

Here’s some pictures I took! The packaging is lovely, and Memebox (RIP bby) included an English translation of the ingredients on the side, pictured below.

Cleanser is dispensed through a pump-

Here is some product I put on my dry hand-

Can you see how it sort of shimmers?

It’s pretty. Anyways, if you put the product on dry skin, it’s pretty disappointing- if you wet your face first, it begins to bubble as soon as it makes contact with the water.

The bubble layer isn’t a thick lather, it’s pretty thin and easily dispersed.

Even though it doesn’t produce a very thick lather, I really like this product. I wet my face, apply a thin layer, and let the bubbles work their magic. It kind of tickles, but it feels really good, and though I have my doubts about the bubbles ability to full clean out my pores, it does a pretty good job of fighting through foundation/BB cream/blush/other makeup. After I rinse it off, it doesn’t feel like it leaves a film like some other mask-type cleaners I’ve tried. As to the effectiveness, i’m not so sure the extent to which this actually brightens the skin. I’ve noticed my skin is brighter after using it, but I attribute that to a few other products in my routine, many of which center around skin brightening. I’m always skeptical about products that claim to “detox” anything, but I actually really do like this. It’s fun, it feels nice, and it’s a nice novelty thing to own.

At $26.00 for 100ml, this isn’t a bargain product, but i’m so happy I got this in a Memebox (RIP bby). If you are looking to splurge on a fun product and have skin the tends toward the drier side, I would recommend this to you!
