The packaging looks professional and medical. It conveys the feeling that it's something you can trust. The back of the packaging is overflowing with information but since this is made in SK, everything's written in Korean except for the product name & ingredients list.

For those who are not familiar with the brand, Mediheal is indeed founded by beauty professionals. Their products are developed by a dedicated team of skin experts & dermatologists from the prestigious medical beauty school in Seoul University, Korea.




My Experience

Mediheal AirGuard Foilab Waterful Mask Review
Peeking inside. No extra essence.
The mask contains only 17ml of clear essence. The mask was wet but IMO, it's not drenched enough. The mask was not very juicy.

This is a 3-layer mask - one side is cotton, the other side is a silver TPU film and sandwiched in between is the silver powder.

It comes in two pieces to fit the face better but it's not for me. See pic below. The cut was too long in the forehead area, same in the chin part plus it's too loose in the nose. There is so much extra material. Overall, terrible fit. 😞
whhhyyyy
With only 17ml inside, the adherence wasn't good. It kept coming loose even with minimal movement. Btw, the outer part looks like silver foil but it feels like a very thin foam sheet (the ones you use in crafts).

The mask is designed to keep the essence from drying out but that also means sweat and heat is also trapped in. It was hot - maybe that's the "spa" part they're talking about.

Combining all three (terrible fit, bad adherence & muggy mask) made for a not very relaxing experience. I only kept this on for the minimum 10 mins before I gave up and took it off. 

Results?

For Wrinkle Care: no smoothing results I can see.
For Brightening: the mask left a dewy finish (which is very sticky btw) but I don't think I look particularly glowy/radiant.
For Hydration: my skin was moisturized but it's not as "waterful" as it claimed. I expected skin that is plump, bouncy and soft as a baby's butt but it did not deliver. I have tried better masks for less the price.

Final Verdict

Mediheal AirGuard Foilab Waterful Mask Review

This was a let down on all fronts. This is pricier than normal Mediheal masks (189 Php vs 70-120 Php) so I expected more from this. The fit and cling was bad and that spoiled my enjoyment. It made my skin hydrated but its moisturizing power was average at best. Will not repurchase.

Tried this mask? How did it go for you?
