Celimax Pore+Dark Spot Brightening Cream Mask: Which Half Goes on First?
By URICOSME Editor
If you’ve ever dried your hair with a sheet mask on and had to peel stray strands off your cheeks, take a look at the two sides of this mask. Celimax applies cream only to the side that touches your skin. Inside the pouch are two pieces. Starting with the one that fits around your mouth makes it easier to smooth the sheet over your cheeks and chin.
Peel off the film to reveal the side that touches your skin
The word “wrapping” refers to how the sheet is made. A protective film covers the cream on the inside, while the outer surface has a coating. Celimax says the coating helps keep moisture in the cream and keeps hair from sticking to the mask. That design may appeal if you find the drips from an essence-soaked sheet bothersome.
1% tranexamic acid and 5% niacinamide
On Korean packaging, the ingredient called tranexamic acid in the product name is listed under its cosmetic ingredient name on the back. Celimax gives the concentrations as 1% tranexamic acid and 5% niacinamide. Both are worth looking for if you’re choosing a brightening product for uneven skin tone.
The cream also contains glycerin, which helps retain moisture, and five types of ceramides. It’s an option for days when you want to care for uneven tone and moisturize cheeks that feel tight after cleansing. In Korea, it is listed as a dual-functional cosmetic for brightening and wrinkle care. Official Celimax product information
Fit the mouth opening first, then line up the eyes and nose
- Cleanse and prep your skin with toner. If you usually use a serum, apply it now and open the pouch when you reach the cream step.
- Peel the film off the lower sheet and line up the mouth opening. Gently draw the ends upward toward your cheeks to help the sheet lie flat around your chin.
- Remove the film from the upper sheet and align the eye openings. Use your fingertips to smooth it over your forehead and the bridge of your nose.
- After 10–20 minutes, remove both pieces. Gently pat in the remaining cream with your fingertips without rinsing.
Keep the sealed pouch at room temperature and open it when you’re ready to use it. If you like a cool mask, Celimax suggests chilling the pouch for 5–10 minutes just before use.
