The back of the package has all the necessary information about the mask, including usage instructions, ingredients, and expiration date.

Estelare Ampule Hand MaskI always read everything that's written. I like to compare the manufacturer's promises with what actually happens in the end.

Inside the package, there were gloves:

Estelare Ampule Hand MaskThey're white and semi-transparent. I immediately noticed their size - they're too big for me. But, being a fan of such masks, I already know what to do. I'll tell you more about it later.

➤ MY HAND SKIN

I don't often complain about my hand skin, but this time it started to flake and even had red patches. Before using the mask on my right hand, the skin was flaking, very dry, and had redness:

before using

➤ HOW TO USE | MY EXPERIENCE WITH AMPULE HAND MASK

Thoroughly wash and dry your hands.Open the package and put on the mask-gloves for 15-20 minutes.Remove the gloves and evenly distribute the remaining serum on your skin until it's fully absorbed.It's really simple. You put on the gloves and wait 20 minutes. But there are a few useful tips that beginners using similar masks might not know about.

To get the gloves to fit more tightly, you need to secure them with a hair tie (or a paper clip) on your wrist.To get the best effect, it's a good idea to hide your hands under a blanket while wearing the gloves.If there's still a lot of serum left in the gloves, you can reuse them.I found wearing the gloves to be comfortable. There was no feeling of coldness, tingling, or burning.

➤ RESULT

The Estelare ampule hand mask can be reused. Check out how much serum is left on my skin and how much is still in the gloves:

Right after taking off my glovesThe manufacturer's promise:

This mask has anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, reduces flaking and redness, prevents the formation of pigment spots. It stimulates regeneration processes, prevents dryness and dehydration of the skin on my hands, protects against adverse environmental influences and age-related changes.

My skin condition has clearly improved. It wasn't as dry as it used to be, and the redness is less noticeable.

After useMy skin has become softer and no longer flakes.

The serum initially settles in stripes, but quickly gets absorbed. It doesn't leave any residue on my skin.

Spread the serumUnfortunately, the effect isn't long-lasting. After a couple of hours, the skin on this area (where it was red) became just as dry again. But I do have to say that the redness has decreased. My skin wasn't flaking as much.

Before/afterNo issues on my right hand, so the skin stayed soft.

I also want to mention that after using these mask-gloves, my cuticles become really soft. So, it's a good idea to keep nail clippers or nail scissors nearby. I always do that. I take care of my skin and do my nails at the same time.

↗ VERDICT

I liked the Estelare ampule mask. It didn't provide enough nourishment and moisture for the problematic area, but it's okay for additional skin care for my hands.

I wouldn't recommend this mask to you if you need to get rid of inflammation and flaking on your skin. In that case, it's not very effective.

This mask is perfect for daily skin care. We need to take care of our hand skin just as often as our face skin. One cream is not enough. Our hands also need a mask and a bath with beneficial herbs.

↗ MAIN ADVANTAGES:

This mask is a great value for money;I enjoyed using it;It lasts for about two uses;It does a great job of hydrating.➤ THE MAIN DRAWBACKS:

Unfortunately, it struggled to deal with dryness, flakiness, and redness.2/5 stars
