Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside - A natural vitamin C (ascorbic acid) stabilized with glucose, which is developed as a quasi-drug cosmetic ingredient to prevent pigmentation and reduce pre-existing melanin by suppressing melanin synthesis, resulting in a lighter and brighter skin.
Potassium Azelaoyl Diglycinate -A derivative of azelaic acid constantly used by dermatologists to clear and lighten skin through an antagonistic action to the enzyme tyrosinase, improve skin feel and appearance by eliminating gloss and regulates excessive production of sebum.

i have always been curious about this mask but too cheap to pick it up locally (it retails for $39.90 for a box of 3 at watsons! compare to this hada labo at $21.90 for 4 pcs & aqualabel whitening $24.90 for 3 pcs).
got my friend to pick it up from taiwan (still ex too! about s$20+ in taiwan, not sure exactly how much) and couldnt wait to try it.
this comes in 3 layers, blue layer, active layer (ie. the mask) & a plastic layer. remove the plastic layer, apply the mask (with the blue layer still on it with the mask onto the skin), remove the blue layer once you are done adjusting the mask.
mask is made of cellulose and vvv thin, even thinner than mbd (mbd new texture is thin and silky, this is thin and textured). looks almost like i am not wearing any mask at all. i was not sure how to position it with the blue sheet on so i removed it and just adjusted the mask to fit :p mask fits quite well though its just a tiny slit for the mouth (as opposed to a cut out for the mouth in most sheet masks) so i was uncomfy at first but after adjusting fine. since the mask is sooo thin, i guess it does not matter much. there is no noticeable scent either.
left it on for 25min, mask was quite dry at certain parts (nose, edges) already. skin was fairer and had a slight glow!
am quite happy with the results but will probably keep it for special ocassions. if you are feeling rich, i guess this will be a good mask to use frequently (they reccomend 2-3x a week!) with good results.
