The well-known "ex-boyfriend" mask in the skin care industry refers to the SK-II skin care mask, and the nickname comes from "after applying the mask, you can achieve the best skin condition and face your ex-boyfriend, so that he can't regret it". Although it is a joke, the ex-boyfriend mask is indeed a powerful medicine to instantly improve the skin condition, suitable for use before weddings, parties and other important occasions, and the instant lifting effect of the facial condition is very prominent.
 
The composition of the ex-boyfriend mask is simple and effective, and its main ingredient, Pitera (yeast ferment product filtrate), is the same as fairy water, but the concentration is 10 times higher than that of fairy water. Pitera is a patented SK-II formula that contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates to gently exfoliate the skin, leaving the skin looking brighter and less dull. At the same time, continuing the characteristics of SK-II's "oily skin", pitera has a certain help in regulating the secretion of sebaceous glands, and also has anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a full-effect mask. However, the moisturizing system of the ex-boyfriend mask is relatively weak, only supported by butylene glycol, and the preservative ratio is slightly higher, which has a certain irritation and allergenicity. Therefore, dry skin and sensitive skin should be used with caution, even if it is oily skin, it is recommended to control the frequency once a week or less. After all, in addition to the rapid hydration of the stratum corneum, the mask has other effects, lotions and essences can be replaced, and the active ingredients stay on the face for a longer time. Outside of emergency situations, why take the risk of using a "fierce medicine" type mask.
 
In addition to Pitera, the whitening ingredient niacinamide is also a classic ingredient of SK-II, and the Brightening Crystal Repair Mask uses both as the main ingredients to target dark spots and uneven skin tone. Compared with the ex-boyfriend mask, the formula structure of Weibai is more comprehensive, ascorbyl glucoside and yeast extract together assist niacinamide to complete the whitening task, and a variety of alcohols and oils for moisturizing work. In addition to the instant whitening effect, it also has a certain degree of moisturization. Similarly, some users will be intolerant to niacinamide, but the white mask also contains preservatives and other ingredients, and it is recommended that users with sensitive skin first perform a behind-the-ear test.
 
Although many users recognize the effectiveness of these two masks, they are quite dissatisfied with their experience. The mask paper is heavy and unacceptable, carrying too much essence, making the skin feel too stuffy. If you take off the mask and layer skin care products directly, it is easy to rub mud, it is recommended to massage for a few minutes, and then rinse off with water. After applying the mask, the stratum corneum is fragile, so don't use a cleanser or even an exfoliating product. If there is no excess serum left and the skin does not feel sticky, you can use lotion or cream directly without washing. Even if there is residue, clean water is enough to wash it off. The price of the ex-boyfriend and the Weibai mask is similar, the former is 740 yuan for 6 pieces, and the latter is priced at 780 yuan for 6 pieces.
