Main pros: This mask is magical!! It's a subtle difference at first but the brightening results are really there! I also really enjoy using this to soften up the skin and prep it before I try to go into remove any whiteheads around the nose area. I really love this mask for those days you really need a pick me up!
Cons: The plastic jar packaging can be a bit unsanitary, so use the provided spatula and not your hands to dig into it and apply!
My verdict: 8/10! This is a great mask for hydration, brightening, toning, and to prep the skin before doing the extractions you're not supposed to do! ;) The price is just a lot higher on Amazon for some reason so I recommend purchasing from StyleVana instead. It does take a little longer for shipping though.
About the Annie's Way Arbutin Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Jelly Mask
Founded by Annie Wu in 2009, Annie’s Way’s signature jelly masks are made in Taiwan and use natural and effective ingredients such as aloe, lavender, hyaluronic acid and alpha arbutin to address various skin concerns.
This revitalizing jelly masks treat skin to moisturize and brighten. It is meant to minimize dark spots and even out skin tone for a fair and translucent complexion. Suitable for dark and dry skin. It is also great for removing impurities in the pores and help to minimize fine lines. This mask can be used bi-weekly.
I already saw a bit of the brightening results just after one use, so with consistency (3 week mark) you should be able to notice a bigger difference.
For hyperpigmentation, it takes around 8+ weeks to see results with Alpha Arbutin.

How do you use Annie's Way Jelly mask?
Okay there is a special way to apply these jelly masks so listen up!
- You'll want to cleanse and tone your face as usual
- Then, spread a dollop of the jelly mask evenly on your face using the provided spatula, you'll want this layer to be just a little thick so it doesn't dry out.
- Leave on for 30 minutes before scraping off with that same spatula (make sure you clean it after). Wipe your face with tissue after removing the mask and rinse thoroughly with water.
- After cleansing the face with water, apply skincare products or paper mask for heightened effect, and two applications a week is recommended.
Important: If it irritates your skin, stop using it! Always patch test new skincare products in case you may be allergic to something.
Also important: Use this within 3 months of opening or storage in refrigerator once opened.
My Final Thoughts: Annie's Way Mask Review Verdict
In short, I love using this mask and both the texture and results really impressed me! The only reason it did not make my all-time favourites list is that you have to use it up within 3 months or leave in the fridge and sometimes I really don't enjoy putting on a cold mask haha.
This is a great mask for hydration, brightening, toning, and even-ing out the skin though. The price is just a lot higher on Amazon for some reason so I recommend purchasing from StyleVana instead. Highly recommend if you have events coming up and you just want to give your skin a bit of a boost!
