Don't let the cutesy name fool you because Australian company Wrinkles Schminkles means business when it comes to skincare and results! Most well-known for their 100% medical grade silicone patches (still reviewing these) for every part of the face and decolletage, they also have two sheet masks for the face and chest to complement the results of the silicone patches and further aid in making sure wrinkles are kept at bay and skin hydrated and plump!
InfuseFAST Facial Sheet Mask
From the photo, I actually thought this would be a paper sheet mask, but had I read the packaging properly, I would have realized that this is a biocellulose mask! I have talked a ton about biocellulose over the years and if you are new to sheet masking, discovering biocellulose is like stumbling upon the holy grail. Everything about the material and fit is so different!
First formulated and made in Taiwan, biocellulose was originally used with burn victim as this bacterially-produced skin-like material acted like a second skin to soothe and heal damage. This material is fragrance free, biodegradable in two months and most importantly is permeable, allowing the quick infusion of ingredients. I've said before that not all biocellulose are created equally which really comes down to how thick the material is as the thicker masks are more expensive. Both of these masks are made in Taiwan and are of the medium thickness (with the thickest being For Beloved One/Lumeclat by Bioesque and the thinnest being the ones I reviewed from Repiel). The pricing also reflects this, although $30 for a single use is definitely still on the luxurious side, but do keep in mind that biocellulose masks are meant to be used only 1-2x/week max.

InfuseFAST Decolletage Sheet Mask
I don't think I am quite at that point where I need decolletage care yet as I am still smooth in that area so I didn't really notice any difference when I used this mask other than feeling very hydrated and smooth in the chest area. I do believe that biocellulose works wonders in more wrinkled skin so I am hoping that this mask is still around in 10 years as I sleep on my side a lot and have been fearful of chest wrinkles in the last year or two!

There is niacinamide early on in the ingredients list of this mask which I sort of wish was in the face mask version, but maybe having both niacinamide and vitamin C was too much for the face?
The decolletage piece was much bigger than I thought it would be and I couldn't even show you how far down it went on me because we need to keep it PG-13 here!

Final verdict: Biocellulose masks generally operate the same way with a large part of the results being due to the actual biocellulose material. The essence is generally kept quite simple like with these two masks and I always love when a mask leaves my skin with a smooth texture that isn't tacky. These masks were both great, but like all good biocellulose masks, the price is on the higher side because the treatment is a bit more intense so if you aren't using any other sheet masks and just these ones for maintenance, it might not be so bad for your wallet!
