A'kin Instant Radiance Facial Masque Reviews

Review of A'kin Instant Radiance Facial Masque
By Zainab C

Packaging: The A'kin Instant Radiance Facial Masque comes in a pump dispenser, minimising any wastage. The packaging doesn’t state if it is recycled though. The box clearly states the ingredients, instructions and more details about the company which is useful and informative.
Application: The A'kin Instant Radiance Facial Masque comes in a cream consistency and is easy to apply onto the face with your fingers or a mask application brush. The A’kin mask has quite a strong smell which may not be to everyone’s taste. The masque tightens the skin and is easily removed with water or a muslin cloth. I found that sometimes this masque begins to get uncomfortable and is therefore not suitable for sensitive skin. Although I’m not sure if the masque does what it says, skin is left feeling soft and moisturised.

Ingredients: This A'kin Masque has a long list of ingredients with the INCI name and an explanation in brackets. This is helpful as it is easier to understand what it is that you are putting on your skin. All of the ingredients are of natural and botanical origins which is quite impressive.

Results: I was quite disappointed in this as I did not see much difference in my skin after using this masque even though it claims to give ‘more beautiful, healthy looking skin.’ My skin certainly did not look radiant afterwards. However, my skin was left soft and nourished.

Pros:
It is easy to apply and remove
It feels as though it may tighten the skin whilst it is on
Skin was left feeling soft
Cons:
The smell is not very pleasant
There is no visible radiance or healthier looking skin
It isn’t suitable for sensitive skins

A'kin Instant Radiance Facial Masque (£15) and A’kin products are available at naturisimo
