Have you heard about Shopee PH? It's a relatively new shopping app/website here in the Philippines. It's very user-friendly plus there are lots of sellers and official shops to discover! The part I love the most? FREE shipping if you spend Php 500 above! Ang baba lang ng threshold, di ba? No kidding when I say it has easily become my favorite online shopping portal!
In case you're wondering, I'm telling you all this because Shopee has rekindled my interest in Thailand products. I have tried a few items before but I moved on since it's not readily available here. Anyway, through Shopee and its free shipping (lol), I have recently hauled a lot of Thai products. Expect to see them in my upcoming posts but for now, I'm gonna give you my review of this Grape Gluta Mask from Marin Skincare!

Apparently, this is the #1 best-selling whitening mask in Thailand. It is made from a mixture of fruit acids and grapes. It claims you can get whitening results in just one use!
I'm kinda skeptic but the drastic before-and-after pictures make me wanna try this at least once. Let's see, shall we?
My Experience
 |
| Inside the box is this plastic pouch. |
The instructions say you have to test it on a small area first so I decided to do it on the back of my hand. The texture is like a very light lotion, but unlike lotions, the mask just sits on top of my hand instead of getting absorbed. It doesn't dry out.
I waited 15 minutes then washed it off. Results? See for yourself.
Oh my gosh! Such an incredible, unbelievable result!
Look again and you'll see - WALA! As in, nothing! The lighting has changed (sorry about that) but you can definitely see na wala talaga!!! Haha, kaloka!
There's still a lot left inside the pouch so I decided to give it another chance. I used the rest of the mask all over my arms and legs, and this time, I left it on for 20 minutes.
So.... did it finally deliver? Nope! Wala pa rin. Nothing, nada, zero, zilch.
Unlike wash-off face masks that make my skin feel soft like a baby's butt, this one made my skin feel very dry. It's a double nope.
Will I Repurchase/Recommend This Product?
NO. Save your money. It doesn't work.Like I said earlier, I'm a bit skeptical about this product. I have very low expectations. I'm not expecting a dramatic before and after just like the "testimonies", but I did hope for at least a tiny bit of result. It did not live up to its claims. Needless to say, I won't repurchase again.
Have you tried this product? Did it work for you? This is a fail but that won't stop me from trying other Thai items. Let me know what items I should check out next!
