Review: 24K Gold Snail Mask (Elizavecca)

I had this sheet mask waiting in my ‘to review’ pile and it had been in there for so long that I had almost forgotten about it. It seems like life gets so busy lately that sometimes we just need to take a step back and relax – which basically means we should all be masking. I’ve gotten some people interested in sheet masks (and kbeauty, which I never shut up about) and so two nights ago, my work colleagues ended up in a group chat sheet mask session. While everyone was making use of the masks that I’d shared around (you can see the pile on my Instagram), I took the opportunity to pick this one up!

This is a 24K Gold Snail Mask that I was sent a while ago from Elizavecca and, from what I can see on their website, is meant to be used as a daily mask pack to hydrate and refresh a tired complexion (which is great, since I am always tired), as well as having anti-wrinkle benefits.

The packaging and concept didn’t excite me much as it seemed to be a fairly standard product, but the ingredients were decent:

• Snail slime filtered water 1000pm
• 24K gold
• Witch Hazel extract
• Grapefruit extract

I’m keeping this short and brief, so just read on for the verdict!

The mask sheet was a fairly standard cotton mask, but it was sufficiently thick (not as thin as the Elizavecca Power Ringer Masks which have a tendency to stretch out) so it stayed on the skin very easily and also smoothed out to be a really great fit. There was no noticeable scent and, while the instructions say to leave it on for around 15 minutes, I got maybe 20–25 minutes before the mask was mostly dry. There was a great cooling feeling when I put it on too and the mask was super saturated!

Once I took it off, I was absolutely blown away with the results! I really didn’t expect that what seemed like a standard sheet mask would have given me such great results. Aside from being super hydrated, my complexion was significantly brightened as well and I immediately looked more awake and rested because of it.

The effects were still visible the next morning but weren’t as dramatic, so I think that this would be a great mask to either use in the morning (if you’re a special person who has the time) or for special events. I only had one of these, so I was unable to test if the effects of the product would be even more evident if used daily, but I definitely want to get my hands on a bunch of them to try out!
