So what makes this cream special?

Squalene is a tried and tested oil that has been used for many years in both healthcare and skincare. Squalene is a very effective emollient and natural anti-oxidant.  It is used to treat wounds and other skin problems. It also helps in preventing sun damage on the skin. Sun damage, as we all know, is the reason for premature aging.

My skincare journey truly gets better with discovery and new found knowledge about ingredients and products available in the market. I have only started using sleeping mask a little less than a year. It is now one of my must have and must do part of my skincare routine – even on lazy days, I always make sure I put on a sleeping mask as the last step of my routine.



Enter make p:rem Peel Me Sleeping pack. I am still in the process of learning what skincare ingredients do to the skin and this is the first time I delve on to Peel Me’s star ingredient - PHA.





What is PHA?

PHA or polyhydroxy acids are chemical exfoliants. It was discovered in the 90’s by Dr. Eugene Van Scott and Dr. Ruey Yu. They are the same people who discovered AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) earlier in their career.  It has been around for quite a while but due to patent and rights, not a lot of brands can afford to include this amazing ingredient in their products. Only now after the patent expired can it be readily be available in the mainstream market.

PHA, like any other acids, peels ad exfoliates the skin however; this particular one attracts water molecules which moisturizes the skin thus making it the perfect sealant to a skincare regimen.  PHA also prevents the weakening of the skin’s collagen and elastin. It repairs the surface of the skin making it look plumper and smoother. To top it all, PHA does not make the skin more sensitive to sun exposure. Unlike other acids, PHA makes the skin more tolerant of the sun. Caution though – that doesn’t mean ditching sunscreen!  

PHAs are safe for all types of skin. It can even be used by people with skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea. It is also an alternative to those who are sensitive to AHA.

Now, back to make p:rem Peel Me.



Similar to most sleeping packs, Peel Me is in a gel form but very lightweight and almost like water. It contains parfum, hence the light scent that is similar to alcohol. I apply it as the last step of my routine to seal off all the other products.

Beautiful light weight gel.

The jar comes with a good sized plastic spoon for scooping the gel like mask.

The jar has a dedicated space where you can write the date you opened. 
Peel Me is good to use one year after opening it. 

This exfoliant is not like the old-school peeling product where in your face literally peel-off and turn bright red. This works while you sleep. All the magic is done gently without any adverse effects.



What I love about this sleeping mask is the way it locks in moisture. This is very noticeable in morning after I wash my face. I noticed that my skin looks more vibrant and softer to the touch. I also noticed a more even skin tone.  My sunspots are lighter and the skin looks brighter.




I received this item courtesy of make p:rem via Credithink. All opinions are my own.






I tried the Miss De Gaspe dry mask that I got from the Beautycon LA event last summer. This sheet mask is the total opposite of the mask that we have all come to love and embrace because it’s dry…bone dry. However, with some science voodoo, it claims to moisturize and impart nutrients (and any other ingredients) to the skin. It uses a technology based on biomimetic lipids delivery system in which the ingredients are woven to the fabric of the mask. Body heat (and massage) activates and melts the ingredients which are slowly absorbed by the skin.


Now, with that smart explanation of what it is, I say – NO. I do not like it nor do I find it to work for me. 



First of all, the fit is small, it barely covered my chin. Width wise, it is ok since the fabric is designed to stretch and hook around the ears. The texture of the sheet mask is soft and not scratchy. I kept the mask on for 15 minutes (as instructed) and massaged my face while I have it on me.




When I removed the mask, I noticed that my skin has a very thin film of moisture but not enough to make it feel that it is hydrated. There is also no immediate improvement to the texture and appearance of  the skin. No brightening or plumping effect either. What I notice is that there are bits of shimmer on my skin similar to those body shimmer lotion. Weird. I am not into shimmers and I do not understand why a mask would impart specks of silvery glitters on the skin – maybe this is the ‘glow’ part of it.



With a price point of $32 EACH, this mask is just too steep for a cheapo like me. It is supposed to be used more that once – 3-5 times at least.  Uhm, my nose was sweating when I had the mask on so should I still put it back on the next day?


Just a thought too: It’s funny how the dry mask is being presented as a better alternative to the wet sheet mask.  Wet masks were described to be unhygienic, gross and too much of a hassle to use. Really? Why? I have been using wet masks for years with zero problems.
