KOKURYUDO 黑龍堂 World Esthetic Mask - Hawaii

Here is another mask from my little "collection" aka KOKURYUDO World Esthetic Hawaii Caring Gel. I don't own many skincare items with the AHA ingredients however, I like the fruity masks.This mask in particular has fruit acids to soften and smooth skin by removing the dead skin cells off. I was hoping that it was actually a summer kind of thing that can control my oily skin but dead skin cells off is good too!


The mask has a very interesting texture to it. It feels like gooey almost old jelly that just crumbles as you put it on your face. But as you rub the crumbly gel on, it does dissolve and turn into this light vaseline texture. The texture actually provides a nice way to massage and rub your face in mini circular movements. It's like skin-aerobics! In my 2nd picture, I have left some of the particals(not rubbed in) just to show it comes out of the package before rubbing. The scent is slightly cheap smelling like the cheesy "tropical" car air freshener. As for the mask itself, it is very moisturizing! It is a slight hassle to wash the gel off because it's a bit thick(just like vaseline) that it almost reminds me of when I wash my face using a cream cleanser. My skin feels nice and plump after this. The only thing I don't like about this one is that it's texture is so weird.

Pros: Moisturizing and smooth skin, good gel for massaging face
Cons: Texture, hassle to wash off, fake tropical scent

KOKURYUDO 黑龍堂 World Esthetic Mask - Italy

Wow! It's been quite some time that I've purchased the collection of KOKURYUDO 黑龍堂 World Esthetic Masks! These days I'm really trying to save money and and while doing that, try to save my ever-forever drying skin. I'm have to say that my skin is suffering real bad from this winter even though it isn't really that cold. I also largely suspect my job has a part in this too. I face 380-460 degrees oven every single day and that is a requirement for my lovely job. As you can probably have guessed: I am a baker! Lots of fun! So I've decided to dig out all those masks that I have hiding in my bathroom cupboard and try them out.


The KOKURYUDO 黑龍堂 World Esthetic Masks come in a range of 4 masks that are for 4 different skin results and funny enough, they are from 4 different countries! The more moisturizing one of the bunch is the Italy one which I will be talking about today. It is thick grey clay mask which apparently has some rose extracts in it. To sooth, inject and seal in the moisture. Honestly, I really like clay masks and this one went on smoothly which no hassle. The only set back is it was quite hard to wash off even with warm water. It took quite a couple of minutes to wash the major parts and some more minutes to take care of the edges of the face. The results as usual are great. My skin felt instantly smoother and a bit moister than usual. This has to be one of the few clay masks that I've actually enjoyed a lot even though washing was a pain. I am considering repurchasing this before it disappears off the shelves!


Here are the rest of the masks from the line. There is a Hawaii, Korea and Bali one too. Have you missed Bali? Check Bali out here!

KOKURYUDO 黑龍堂 World Esthetic Mask - Bali

KOKURYUDO 黑龍堂 World Esthetic Mask is quite an interesting line of masks from different parts of the world to represent different types of skin conditions while using special ingredients. The packaging is quite attractive too. Very collectable and very nice! It's fairly cheap too!


This one here is the BALI one which is an avocado mask that helps tired skin rejuvenates skin. It also helps moisturize and prevent it from drying out. The mask itself as you can see in the packet is this really gross looking pale green mud. It smells quite awful too... like wet cardboard boxes. They say that you need only 1 packet per use but I think you can get 2 because I only used half of the product on my face and it's already too much(see picture). So if you use it twice instead of once then you get even more then you paid for! I must say that after washing the mask off, my skin felt really soft and a slight bit brighter. It was also quite relaxing with a cool feeling on my face while I rested.
