Packaging
The ampoule comes in an opaque airless pump. The packaging is simple and hygienic.Although, the bottle is opaque and I can’t see how much product I’ve used. Let me tell youthe secret of the airless pump bottle.
Tip: Buka penutup di bahagian bawah botol untuk periksa berapa banyak produk yang telah anda guna. Tiada masalah kan?
So far, Idon’t find any problem with the packaging. It pumps out just a perfect amount of product. Ican also write the opened date on the given space at the packaging label after opening theproduct. The period after opening is 12 months.The sleeping mask comes in a tub glass packaging. When I open the tub, there’s a second lid to prevent the mask from spilling. As these two come in trial version, the packaging is convenient for travelling.
Texture and Scent
The ampoule has clear water-gel texture that spreads like water when in contact with skin. I don’t find any noticeable scent. I’m amazed it doesn’t smell like traditional gamat ointment. I believe the team went through a lot of hard works to eliminate the scent which can be uncomfortable to some people.
The mask has jelly-slime like texture. Sticky at touch before it sits nicely on skin. Don’t worry, it won’t stick to your pillow case because it dries up quite fast. It is colourless. I noticed unfamiliar scent at first, but for sometimes later I’m getting used to it.

My Experience (Note: I have sensitive and oily skin)
I’ve been trying a lot of new PR lately and among them, some products have been unkind and caused flared up. I experienced breakout and on a more serious note, it left with acne marks. Thankfully, The Pastels Shop sent me this kit. I’ve been loving it since the first day I introduced into my routine. I noticed a reduction in redness and those acnes shrunk within two days. While my skin has been enjoying this duo, I carelessly trying new product again. Yeah! Déjà vu.
I wasn’t panic this time around because I knew the gem to calm down the trouble. I’m very happy with the progress and I just need to repurchase full size to achieve clear skin. I’m almost running out of the sleeping mask. I can’t believe I’ve used that much. I agree the mask really hugs and tightens my skin, but in a nice way. 5% D-panthenol is there for soothing and cooling effect. Although on the most sensitive part, I sometimes feel a little bit sting.
Loving the ampoule too as I can see PIE (red acne marks) start fading because of the 2% Alpha Arbutin. It also contains witch hazel which is good to control sebum production. In my opinion, the ampoule is a good treatment for acne-prone skin as it soothes down the inflammation whereas the sleeping mask is good for dehydrated skin or those who have damaged skin barrier. It helps to retain moisture from leaving the skin.
Congratulations!
Both of you have made into my staple team. Plus point for the minimal and sensitive-skin
friendly ingredients.
