FIRST IMPRESSIONS | Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud Skin Restoring Treatment Mask

This winter season has not been kind to my skin. Flaky peeling and tightness everywhere! I was freaking out since I have oily combination skin and had no idea what to do when my skin was feeling dry O_O Needless to say, I was definitely looking for things to help hydrate and moisturize my skin, especially since it was holiday season and I was taking lots of pictures >_<

Anyhoo, the Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud Skin Restoring Treatment Mask is a must try for those of you with combination or oily skin!
FIRST IMPRESSIONS |  Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud Skin Restoring Treatment Mask



The Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud Skin Restoring Treatment Mask* claims to improve skin's hydration, elasticity, and firmness while also reducing redness and evening skin tone. Now, that's a lot of claims for one product but does it deliver?

Likes:

This mask hydrates skin by improving elasticity, minimizing pores, enhancing skin’s radiance. It also leaves skin feeling smoother and softer. I definitely noticed my pores looking a lot smaller after applying this mask. I have visible pores on my nose yet this mask really helped diminish their appearance. I never noticed that I had black dots all around my nose area (blackheads? Clogged pores?) until this mask cleared them all! When I was washing the mask off, I noticed all these black specks that weren't there before--and immediately proceeded to go into freak out mode after realizing it was probably all the gunk in my pores T____T. I noticed my nose was really clean looking and was  clear for about 3-5 days (sorry,  I wasn't keeping track as closely as I should have >__<) Maybe that's why it's recommended to use it 2 times a week. My skin definitely looked brighter after using this mask and felt softer!

Some other things I like about it is that it's free of synthetic fragrances, dyes, wax, mineral oils, and talc. I think it's important to find products that don't irritate the skin or contain problematic ingredients so I'm glad that this mask takes a bit of the guesswork out of it.

It is also a lot runnier than I'm used to in clay-based masks. However, I feel that it helps the product apply much easier and wash off with ease as well. 

My experience with masks before were a love-hate kind of thing but I'm happy to say that this mask worked wonderfully for me. Finding the perfect mask is near impossible with my combination skin. There's the need for something that will work on the oily parts without drying out the normal areas. This product definitely was strong enough to dry out the oils in my face without irritating the normal areas, which I'm very glad for. 

This mask feels like it does it all, especially since it also claims to gently exfoliate skin and help even out the appearance of skin tone. When I was removing the mask, it says that I should do so in circular motions. I'm used to exfoliation with physical beads and stuff but I felt that I achieved a similar effect to when I use scrubs without the dry and tight feeling that I sometimes get. I haven't used it long enough to say that it evens skin tone but I don't see any of the typical ingredients that work in evening skin tone (Let me know if you see them!)

Dislikes:

This product also claims to stimulate cellular renewal and help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Now I don't have fine lines or wrinkles so I can't really comment on that but I'm not sure a mask can provide enough hydration and stuff to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially since you're not even leaving it on for that long.

This is more of a personal preference kind of thing but it has that typical mud mask smell that I don't really like; however, I'm glad there's no added fragrance to mask that scent. 

It's pretty pricey for a mud mask at $38 USD for 3.8 fl oz. I'm used to pay $4 USD for the drugstore favorite, Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask, but I feel that the one by Miracle Skin Transformer definitely works better at clearing my skin without leaving it feeling dry or tight, even with just one use. Also, using it once a week or whenever you need to would prolong the product's lifespan. 

A big con for this product is that it's in a jar packaging that can compromise the integrity of the beneficial ingredients inside but I feel that it works so well for my skin that I can justify the purchase. 


Bottom Line:

If you've got the money to splurge, I'd say grab it! I am definitely going to buy it when I finish up the two I've got right now. I have never tried a product that worked that fast while being gentle at the same time. I can feel that this product may become HG for me, which has never really happened with my skincare products--I change it up pretty much after every finished bottle. You can snatch up your jar here if you're interested!
