Vella Cosmetics Rub Lom V8 Hydro Velvet Mask Review

Hi, guys! Last night's sheet mask was Vella's Rub Lom V8 Hydro Velvet Mask!

If Vella wanted to stand out among other sheetmask competitors, they certainly succeeded. I was surprised when I got this because the pack is huuuge! It's twice the size of most sheet masks (like Naruko, MyScheming, Mamonde) and it's the first thing I see whenever I look inside my sheet mask drawer. It's begging to be used so here we go! 😂

ABOUT THE MASK

WHAT: Rub Lom V8 Hydro Velvet Mask, 35g
PRICE & WHERE: 80 PHP at Althea
Vella claims their RUB LOM (Revolutionary Uni Beauty Liquefying Optimized Material) skincare line will keep skin springy starting "8AM in the morning, finishing at 8PM". Their mask's main selling point is that the thick velvet microfiber sheet contains one whole bottle of ampoule (35g!) to effectively convey active ingredients to your skin within a short period of time.

The ampoule is formulated with "V8 Solution Care" meaning it has the Vital 8 effects: (1) Moisturizing (2) Skin Balancing (3) Smoothing (4) Nutrition (5) Pore Care (6) Whitening (7) Wrinkle Care and (8) Volume. Hmmmm, we'll see.

MY EXPERIENCE

Vella Cosmetics Rub Lom V8 Hydro Velvet Mask Review
mask material
They're not kidding when they say the mask is thick. It's the thickest one I've encountered so far. Despite that, the mask still feels soft and smooth. The material is stretchy and clung well to my skin.

The ampoule inside is milky, thick and viscous - like a light lotion in texture. The scent also reminds me of mildly scented lotion. Now, 35g seems like a lot but the amount is just right for the dense sheet mask material. It was not drippy and there's only a couple drops left in the pack.

not perfect but pretty good fit
Recommended wearing time is 10-20 minutes but I wore the mask for 40 minutes. Since the ampoule is a lotion-type, the sheet mask did not dry easily and was still moist and clinging nicely. After removing the mask, I squeezed the ampoule out and can you see how much I got?! It was seriously enough for whole body application.

The ampoule. There's still a lot left in the sheet mask.

RESULTS

Right & Left Cheek Results
Moisture level rose up to 9.6%! 
Normal moisture range for the face is 35%-60%. Before masking, I already toned and applied a few layers of essence and serums. My cheeks were nicely moisturized at a respectable 49.3% and 52.7%. After patting in the leftover ampoule, the moisture level rose up to 9.6%! That's pretty good since I usually get around 5% increase for most sheet masks.

The finish was slightly tacky but my skin felt plump and it appeared a little bit brighter. In the morning, the tackiness was gone and my skin felt smooth and bouncy.



VERDICT

Except for pore tightening, the mask did well on delivering its V8 promises. I think people with drier skin will appreciate this. It's affordable too. I got it for only 80 PHP at Althea. It's within the usual price range of the masks I use. I may repurchase. :)

If you're new to the Althea, you can use my referral link to sign up and get an additional 200 PHP discount!
