QUALITY 1ST Derma Laser Teatree Mask (7 Sheets)

The Derma Laser Super Tea Tree 100 mask is part of Quality 1st's Derma Laser series, a line built around short wear times and high sheet adhesion. Where a conventional sheet mask asks for fifteen to twenty minutes, this one is designed for three. The sheet is a long-fibre, non-woven cotton material chosen for its ability to cling closely to the contours of the face, which is what makes the shorter contact period practical.

The essence is built around tea tree, appearing both as Melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil and as leaf extract, alongside dipotassium glycyrrhizate and ceramide 3. Hydrogenated lecithin and soybean sterols support the texture of the essence on the skin. The formula is made without added preservatives, which is why each sheet is sealed in its own individual sachet and should be used immediately after opening.

Two points for Canadian customers. The formula contains soybean sterols, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid it. Tea tree leaf oil is naturally aromatic and can be sensitising for some people, so a patch test before first use is sensible.

Japan

●        The three minute wear time makes it practical on mornings when a twenty minute mask is not realistic

●        Long fibre cotton non woven sheet holds close to the face, including around the nose and jaw

●        Tea tree leaf oil and leaf extract give the formula its characteristic fresh aromatic quality

●        Ceramide 3 and dipotassium glycyrrhizate are included in the essence alongside the tea tree

●        Seven sheets per pack gives roughly a week of use or a month at twice weekly

1.     Cleanse and tone your skin as usual, then pat it until it is just damp rather than wet.

2.     Open one sachet and unfold the sheet. Use it immediately, since the formula contains no added preservatives.

3.     Lay the sheet over your face, aligning the eye and mouth openings, then smooth it outward from the centre to remove air pockets.

4.     Leave the mask on for three minutes. Do not extend the time, as letting a sheet dry on the skin draws moisture back out of it.

5.     Remove the sheet and discard it. Pat the remaining essence into your skin until it is absorbed.

6.     Follow with your usual moisturiser to seal the step. Use in the morning or evening, two to three times a week.

Quality 1st is a Tokyo-based company founded in 2012 that focuses almost entirely on sheet masks. Rather than spreading across a full skincare range, it has concentrated on sheet material, essence saturation, and wear time, and its All In One and Derma Laser series are fixtures in Japanese drugstores and variety stores. The Derma Laser line in particular is built around short contact times and high-adhesion nonwoven sheets. The company's masks are sold in large multi-packs at accessible prices, which has made daily sheet masking a normal habit for many Japanese customers.
