Review: 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Mask

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY //

Can you believe that the 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Mask is the first product I’m trying from 3CE?! Those who love asian beauty products will have heard of this brand previously.  The May beauty box send by BNTnews contained mainly sheet masks and the 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Masks were part of them. Since I’m a dry skintype I’m always happy about moisturizing products, especially about moisturizing sheet masks, and I think I have found a new favourite moisturizing sheet mask here:

3CE stands for 3 Concept Eyes and was launched in 2009 as a cosmetic brand by Stylenanda. The packaging of the products is similar to MAC cosmetics and mainly black with the triangular logo displayed on the product. Although very simple I think that this kind of packaging looks somehow very trendy. The price of Stylenanda’s 3CE lies in the mid region, but since it is more expensive than Etude House for example, I never ended up buying any 3CE products. The 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Mask are available as single sheet masks or in cardboard boxes containing 5 sheet masks.

The cardboard box and the sheet mask sachets have the same design. They are black colored and have the product name written on it. It looks like a sketch or a doodle. Some waterdrops and an inforgraphic on the key ingredient make the packaging look pretty cute, too. The backside of the masks and the cardboard contain the description of the product. The description is written in Korean only on both, but you can find English description on the official Stylenanda page.

The 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Mask is a hydration solution mask, as the name already tells us. It is supposed to deliver the moisture deep into the skin layers in order to prevent dryness. The two key ingredients of this sheet mask are hyaluronic acid and mineral-rich Alaska glacial water, which are perfect for moisturizing dry skin, since both these ingredients have moisturizing properties. Moreover the sheet mask promises to be non-sticky and refreshing and contain a moisture rich essence which has soothing properties. Also the cotton sheet is made from super fine fibers and is supposed to give you a velvety smooth feeling.

When opening the sheet mask the first thing I recognized was the thickness of the cotton sheet. From all the sheet masks I tried this is probably the thickest one. Nevertheless, the cotton sheet mask is soaked in lots of essence. There is also quite a good amount of left-over essence in the sachet to be used on your neck. The essence used in the 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Mask is not that watertype, clear and super runny essence, but a milky essence which reminds me of japanese lotions. It feels more creamy than watery and I really do like that feeling. The sheet mask is so heavily soaked with the essence that it doesn’t dry out quickly either. The cotton sheet mask is super smooth and I can imagine that people with sensitive skin will definitively like the feeling of that mask. I love the feeling it has while on the skin (velvety is definitively the right word to describe it) and I totally agree about the points that the mask claims to do. After using it the skin feels refreshed and moisturized. When the essence is absorbed it doesn’t feel sticky afterwards, which is also a point that I really like about the mask.

The 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Mask fulfills all the claims it has: it is deeply moisturizing, it is not sticky and refreshing, it contains a nice amount of essence and it has the most velvety smooth sheet mask I tried! Regarding all these point I can say that I love this sheet mask and that it has become one of my favourite moisturizing sheet masks! The only downside is, that it is more expansive than other sheet masks, but definitively worth a try! On the official Stylenanda page it retails for 4 US$ each. The box with 5 sheet masks costs 18 US$. You can also get the box from W2Beauty for 24.84 US$.

  • I really like the Special Nourishing masks from 3CE too. Looks like I may need to try this one next. Interesting that this one is a milky essence too. Thanks for the review~

  • I have added them on my basket this week, but I finally deleted them because at the last time, I did wanted an other product... Your post made me wanted to try them anyway!
    They are pricy but they look so interesting! I'm in love with 3CEs products!

  • Mus try it! Didn't tried anything of 3Ce yet...

    Btw, I'm still having trouble to enter your blog sometimes, don't know why, but there's some error and after doing f5 a few times, can load properly.

    • Oh, that's strange. I should contact the host probably, if this continues. Any idea why that is?

      • Can't remember the code or the words exactly but said Error connection. That happens in my pc, cellphone or Ipad sometimes. Could be bandwidth issue maybe?

  • Looks like a really good mask. Will have to try this, as you can never have too many face masks..hehe

  • I didn't know 3CE came out with masks! The packaging is super cute, $4 for a mask if pretty pricey in my opinion though so i'll stick with my $1 etude house masks haha :)

  • Looks like a very nice product. I never tried any 3CE product before. But this mask looks really nice! I need to try this mask, bcs my skin is dry now.
    Love from Indonesia♡♡

  • I have very dry skin so this mask seems perfect for me! I'll go look for it in Korean Town. They have some 3CE stuff there :)

  • Thanks for the review:) I'm thinking of trying this product and this helped a ton :D
