[REVIEW] Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening Sleeping Mask

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Some By Mi products on my blog! I have been quite active on Instagram in the past six months and TBH, I am lazy to work with my laptop. Remember I mentioned in this post that my USB port holes were not functioning? I eventually bought a new laptop after so many people advised me to. Now, let's go straight to the review~

Packaging

It is stored in a see-through yellow jar with screw cap. Between the cap and the product is an air-tight lid. There is no spatula or tool that comes along to scoop the sleeping mask out.

Key Ingredients

Yuja extract

A citrus fruit that is known for its nourishment, hydration, antioxidant and antibacterial functions. Also known as yuzu in Japan.

Niacinamide

A brightening ingredient which can also rejuvenate the skin.

Other noticeable ingredients

100% Yuja peel extract, glutathione 

Texture

Smooth light pastel yellow cream that can spread out a lot.

Scent

Yuja (duh!)

Experience & Thoughts

Firstly, I think that the air-tight lid is a brilliant idea! If I accidentally dropped this jar, the sleeping mask would stay put inside and there wouldn't be any wastage! Other products I own with comes with a lid without this great function. I also like to push out any air inside the jar before tucking the lid in. Although this makes the lid difficult to be lifted up, I like it this way. However, one thing that Some By Mi should really improve on is adding a spatula or tool. It is not hygienic to dip our finger in because it would lead to contamination and other skin problems.

Next, I love the heavenly yuja scent. I feel that it somehow improves my mood. After checking some information, apparently the 100% yuja peel extract functions to destress and help to relax. So yes, it stands true to its claim~.

Another thing I like is the consistency of the sleeping mask. I wish I could attach the texture video, but I couldn't. It feels really lightweight and refreshing! It leaves my skin looking dewy and no stickiness. You can watch the video on my Instagram by clicking this sentence. Since it is a citrus after all, it did sting some sensitive spots on my face.

Well, in terms of the brightening effect, I really can't judge because I also use other brightening products including the Yuja Niacin serum. All in all, I think this is a nice sleeping mask that I don't mind repurchasing~ Below are some infographic I found~
