What I got: This is a 40ml tub of Manuka Doctor ApiRefine Illusionist Rapid Lift Mask. With two awards already under its belt, this mask is like an instant facelift in a jar which has been designed to have skin photo-ready in just minutes. Included in this fast acting, skin-plumping mask is a unique combination of Manuka Doctor’s clinically proven Purified Bee Venom (PBVTM), Certified UMF 18+ Manuka Honey, Shea Butter, natural waxes and Vitamin E to deeply nourish the skin, stimulate collagen growth and renew damaged skin cells. The additional inclusion of Chicory Root and Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum works to provide skin with instant and medium-term tightening effects while promoting collagen synthesis. Working within ten minutes of application it plumps and lifts tired skin whilst simultaneously working to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin is left feeling firm, soft and smooth and looking like it has had a skin-rejuvenating holiday.

How I find it: After cleansing and pat drying my skin I apply a thin even layer on my face and let it work for 10 minutes. I don’t feel any tingling feeling or stinging at all. The instructions recommends to wipe off the mask after 10 minutes but I prefer rinsing it off. Then I follow with a toner and moisturiser. I use this twice a week. I also love using this as a massage/mask by using a thicker layer and massage upwards before leaving it on as a mask.

Overall: The creamy texture of the mask is really comfortable to use. It doesn’t sting, it doesn’t make my face feel greasy. After removing the mask, my skin feels tighter and firmed. However the results are not too long lasting. I also don’t have much loose skin or wrinkles so I can’t see much of the effects. I would keep using it 2-3 times a week to help keep my skin lifted and firm.
