Barrier Repair Sleeping Pack Power of Rice Milk Review

the container

Japan winters are dry... if anyone else tells you otherwise... DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. The skin on my face has been suffering, especially when I wake up in the morning, I can see flakes of skin (no matter how much night cream I have applied.

I actually found this by accident... sort of. I was looking at another product when this one caught my eye... I had a feeling this product was going to be good.

Made in Japan

price: ¥1290 ($11.50 USD)

company/manufacturer: mandom corp

the packaging

the recommendation is: wash face, apply a moisturizing lotion, apply cream and then apply this sleeping pack.

I usually apply this product right before going to sleep.

Here is some information from their website (which is in Japanese... let me give you a brief translation)

Just apply and go to bed, it will penetrate thoroughly at night.

Use this pack at the end of your skin care routine (most Asian skincare calls masks packs, and sheet masks "mask")

The pack will last all night without any stickiness. It is intensive care while you sleep. When you wake up in the morning, your skin will feel moist, plump and ready for makeup. 

Ingredients are taken from unpolished rice that is great for your inferior skin. 

This product is blended with a rice milk complex (for moisturizing purposes)

This product also includes Phytic acid, inositol. Which are taken from rice germ oil capsule and rice 

When your skin lacks elasticity or transparency, these ingredients will through a sleep serum prescription take care of that and give your skin its elasticity and transparency. 

The effective working rice milk supported by the "rice fermented extract" formulation. 

This product also contains Saccharomyces - a rice fermented liquid for moisturizing purposes. 

before I get to my thoughts, I want to mention just how considerate it was for them to include a spatula (scoop?). Not only is this more hygienic but it also makes it easier to get the right amount.

after using it every day for a week

My THOUGHTS!

• there is no scent 
• it is not sticky (the product immediately absorbs into your skin)
• easy to apply (did I mention the spatula?)
• you just need a penny size worth of product
• I do not notice it after a few minutes
• affordable

I haven't found a con, so let me continue with my thoughts

Pros!

• it says exactly what it does and more!
• my skin felt so soft and smooth the next day
• got rid of all my dryness problems (my skin feels moisturized, plump, smooth and soft)
• so far it has only been doing good to my skin and I love it
• the effects last the whole day, but I still recommend putting on some moisturizer 
• the more frequent you use it (I use it every night) the more you will notice your skin becoming stronger and moisturized, plump, smooth and soft. 
• I have been using this product for two months already and the effects were as good as the first week!
• a little goes a long way... I foresee my container lasting for atleast 6 months

Con

• I will update any cons (cause at the moment I can't think of any or experience any...)

After using this product for 2 weeks (keep in mind, Japanese winters are harsh to skin) I sometimes forget to do my morning skincare routine because I forgot my skin needs to... and sometimes when I forget, my skin can last a whole day (no products, and I don't use makeup) without feeling dry or having the need to use product (I don't recommend this but it is possible!)

I honestly cannot say enough good things about it... I really like it!

I highly recommend this product!!!!

score: 10/10 (when was the last time one of my products got a full score?)
