"Medical Beauty Mask" does not exist at all? We reviewed 7 popular models and sighed

Why are medical beauty masks so effective?

How is the medical beauty mask I use? Is it safe?

Please test the medical beauty mask!

When it comes to the legendary "medical beauty mask", everyone always has a lot of questions and hopes that we can do a review. This has indeed been mentioned for a long time, but because medical beauty masks are relatively complicated, the technical guy was tortured for a long time.

Fortunately, we lived up to expectations. Following the reviews of domestic and foreign masks, the reviews of 7 popular online celebrity "medical beauty masks" came out. I hope everyone will not forget to like the article at the end after reading it.

Before stating the results, let me briefly state a few premises.

Medical device products are for medical use. It is recommended that you use them under the doctor's instructions. It is not recommended to purchase and use them privately.

Experts suggest that when choosing a facial mask, there is no need to pursue the so-called "medical beauty mask". There are many masks with good value for money, so don't blindly follow the trend.

The samples purchased this time were all from official channels and confirmed to be medical device products.

According to everyone's voice, we selected the 7 most popular ones:

Referring to Appendix 1 (Detection Methods for Hormone Ingredients in Cosmetics) in Announcement No. 66 of the State Food and Drug Administration in 2019, the samples were tested for 53 hormones (sex hormones removed) and 11 preservatives + formaldehyde that may be added.

The test results are as follows:

In addition, many masks also claim to have moisturizing and hydrating effects, so we did some tests and found two that were pretty good:

Compared with the results, the process is also important. How complicated is the testing of "medical beauty masks"? What did we find during the evaluation process? After reading this article, I believe you will have different gains.

The non-existent "medical beauty mask" In fact, at the beginning of this year, the government once again made a conclusion on the "medical beauty mask".

The dense words above can be simply summarized into three points:

There is no such thing as "medical beauty mask" or "medical mask", there is only medical dressing.

Medical dressings cannot promote beauty or health care, and facial masks cannot claim therapeutic effects.

Medical dressings are mainly used for auxiliary treatment of trauma, wound protection, and keeping the package moist. They are not directly used for skin treatment, but provide a relatively mild "repair environment" to facilitate skin tissue repair.

Therefore, the names at the beginning are for the purpose of making it easier for everyone to understand. From here on, we will only use "medical dressings". (The following medical dressings include Class I and Class II medical device products)

There are currently no established guidelines for testing hormones for medical dressings, so we can only test them the same way we would for cosmetics.

There are hundreds of known hormones, but currently there are only 63 detection methods, so there is still a gap.

However, we have found that the State Food and Drug Administration has begun to pay attention to and manage medical dressings. We look forward to the improvement of such standards.

Laboratory tests show that medical dressings have such good effects. Is it because hormones are added? I believe many people have this question.

We sent the samples to a professional laboratory for testing, and referring to the testing methods for cosmetics, we selected 53 glucocorticoids as testing items and deleted some sex hormones. (It is meaningless to add sex hormones to facial masks, so the testing items were deleted.)

The results showed that none of the 7 medical dressings contained 53 types of hormones.

In addition, we will find that many medical dressings only label part of the ingredients, or do not label them at all.

So after hormones, we tested whether the products contained common preservatives and formaldehyde, a total of 12 items.

The results showed that preservatives or formaldehyde were detected in 3 of the products, while none were detected in the remaining 4 products.

However, it is difficult for us to infer whether other preservatives are added to the 4 products that were not detected, because at present we can only refer to the cosmetics regulations for testing, and the testing items and methods are limited.

We are not against adding preservatives to products. After all, no one wants to use products that are overgrown with bacteria. However, the country has limited and restricted preservatives, so it is important to use preservatives in compliance with regulations.

This is also a problem with current medical devices - the product ingredients are unclear, and it is recommended that you consult a doctor before use.

Are medical dressings moisturizing? In the world of medical dressings, businesses also vigorously promote their moisturizing and hydrating effects.

This point has been recognized by many fairies. In the order comment area and the dynamics strongly recommended in the circle of friends, "super hydration" and "very moisturizing" can be seen everywhere. Then let's take a look at the moisturizing ability of medical dressings.

It can be found that among the medical dressings, the two types with better moisturizing effects are Fu Q and Fu Y.

In order to intuitively compare the moisturizing effects, we used medical dressings and ordinary facial masks to compare the moisturizing effects. You can view it by replying "mask" in the background of the official account.

What is the difference between medical dressings and facial masks? We have compiled a table to make it clearer for everyone.

Medical dressings must not only be used under the advice of a doctor, but also according to the instructions on the determination form, they can only be used for a short period of time/temporarily and cannot be used indiscriminately.

Under normal circumstances, you can just use facial masks to take care of your skin. In special circumstances (such as after cosmetic surgery), use it according to the doctor's advice.

In addition, from the perspective of the physiological structure of the skin, there are only a limited number of facial problems that can be solved by facial masks. After all, they do not stay on the face for long and are not very effective in terms of transdermal absorption rate.

Skin care cannot rely solely on facial masks.

In total, we tested a lot of facial masks, and when stacked together they were taller than my dad.

(It turns out that it is very difficult to stack it that high)

Compared with previous issues, the testing of medical dressings is quite special. It has not been subject to many regulations, so many businesses are interested in it.

As various internet celebrity-style "medical beauty masks" flood the market, this issue has begun to be taken seriously. In the next few years, I believe that the control over medical products will be improved.

And we haven't stopped yet. To this day, there are still many masks we haven't touched upon, such as cleansing masks and various new and popular online celebrity masks that have quickly become popular. Every day, everyone's voices are increasing and changing. These voices are both motivation and a spur to us.
