SKINCARE | Leaders Cosmetics 3X Boosting Collagen Modeling Mask

Press sample

Don't we all love a good modeling mask? While they are more messy, they are intended to be more of a treatment and if you really love skincare, it gives you a chance to have your "mad scientist" moment! The modeling masks I have used previously were just the mask alone, but Leaders Cosmetics now has three new multi-step modeling mask kits in Collagen, Vitamin C and Tea Tree for a full skincare routine and only for $7 each!

 

I received the Collagen 3x Boosting Modeling Mask which focuses on fortifying "thin skin" and increasing elasticity - yes, please! Ideally, this is used during your nighttime routine as it does take time and will be more enjoyable if you are not rushing to get out the door.

Step 1: Boosting Solution

Ingredients: Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Hydrolyzed Sponge, Ethylhexyl Olivate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Panthenol, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Adenosine, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hyaluronate, t-Butyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, and Ascorbic Acid

This is a milky essence that smoothes and preps skin using hydrolyzed sponge spicules coated in hyaluronic acid, collagen and ascorbic acid (ummm very cool!). You may be familiar with spicules as they are in the viral VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot so this booster is a prickly one! I did not do any research before using this mask and was surprised at the tingle! The amount included was very generous and more than enough to do my face and neck.

Step 2: Boosting Ampoule

Ingredients: Water, Glycereth-26, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, Betaine, Panthenol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Allantoin, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Collagen, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Heptasodium Hexacarboxymethyl Dipeptide-12, Copper Tripeptide-1, Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-11, and Hexapeptide-9.

This ampoule contains collagen, panthenol (decreases transepidermal water loss) and six different peptides to firm skin. The texture felt like a watery serum, did not have much of a scent and there was more than enough in the package for my face and neck.

Step 3: Boosting Modeling Powder

Ingredients: Cellulose Gum, Diatomaceous Earth, Calcium Sulfate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Algin, Kaolin, Allantoin, Trehalose, Glucose, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Powder, Dehydroacetic Acid, Magnesium Oxide, Betaine, Hydrolyzed Collagen (1,000ppm), Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Adenosine, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.

This mask contains hydrolyzed collagen and multiple peptides to further aid in increasing skin elasticity. This is where the mad scientist comes out as to make the final step of this treatment, you will need to empty the powder included into this pre-measured container. Add in about 50mL of cold water or right up until the line and then mix until you get a glorious purple paste!

Using the spatula, generously apply the mask all over your face! There was a lot of product left over as I chose not to apply the mask to my neck as well, but the thicker you apply the mask, the more satisfying it will be to peel off! In about 15-20 minutes, you will feel the mask harden and then it's time to peel/roll this off your face to reveal plump and hydrated skin! I like to start peeling around my forehead and work my way down if the mask allows me to. 

Final verdict: I did not need moisturizer after taking the mask off and it did feel visibly bouncier than before! When it comes to modeling masks, I'm still not ready to commit to them on a regular basis. To me, they are a once a month kind of "event" as there are a number of steps and is more messy than my usual sheet mask routine. Modeling masks are incredibly amusing though and it's nice to be entertained while knowing that my skin is also benefitting! I would be open to trying the other two masks though just to see how different they would be from this one.
