REVIEW: Fancl Hydrating Focus Range

Author: James Aw Yong

I am probably one of the vainest guy you have ever met but I am not ashamed of this. I believe that everyone, no matter the gender or age, one should take very good care of their skin. My girlfriend is an equally big vain pot or if not a bigger one than me! She has been emphasising the importance of skincare to me ever since I met her couple of years back. Well, I must claim that the biggest reason I listened to her advice was partially because she has great skin condition. I told her that she is blessed with good skin but she told me she started taking care of her skin health since young. Upon hearing that, I felt a bit guilty and started thinking I should do my part to look good beside her too.

Since I have dry skin, which can get flaky at times, I got really excited when I saw the set of FANCL Hydration Series. Even more thrilled with the fact that it comes without preservatives. Think about it: Preservatives in food are bad for health, so what about those for skin too?

FANCL Hydrating Range consists of:
– FANCL Moisturizing Mask ($64/ 6 pieces in a box)
– FANCL Lock Eye Mask ($23 / 3 pairs in a box)
– FANCL Moisturizing Essence ($64)
– FANCL Overnight Hydrating Pack ($58)

I use one piece every 4 days even though you can use it daily. After engaging in this regime, I find my skin supple and hydrated. To the extend, glowing too. I am not sure if the glowing effect is from the mask but it is apparent that my skin looks much more healthy.

Each piece of mask contains 19ml of moisturising essence which includes Raffinose, Royal Jelly Extract, Rice Ferment Filtrate and more. However, what I am happy to find is Fresh Moist Collagen as part of its ingredients because we all know the importance of collagen! It keeps your skin young and firm!





Usually, I would pick eye cream over eye mask for the eyes because it is more affordable. However, after trying out this set of eye masks, I realise its convenience and grew to love eye masks more now.

FANCL Moisture Lock Eye Mask feels light on the face but it is said to be nourishing as it allows swift penetration of they hydrating essence deep into the skin. Being extremely conscious with fine lines over the eyes area, I will do anything improve it’s condition. I left the eye masks under the eye areas for 10 minutes each time and use them only once a week. It contains moisturising composite essence, moisture lock essence and amino acid to help reduce eye’s dullness and restores moisture.





Hyaluronic acid is one important acid that you can find in almost all hydrating skin care. Of course, FANCL Moisturizing Essence contains it too! The texture of the essence is light and glides on easily. Even though it is light, it is also suitable for night use.





My favourite among the entire lot has got to be FANCL Overnight Hydrating Pack. I am a sucker for anything overnight – especially for hydration purposes.

Our skin renewal takes place at night especially over the period of 11pm-1am and FANCL Overnight Hydrating Pack is specially developed to work when you are sleeping. You will wake up to soft and radiant skin the next morning. The skin gets smoother as well, and I am guessing that this is credit of Silk Peptide present in the ingredient. Nope, not complaining because I love the effect!





Take a look at the goodness. It may look a little thick and sticky at first but it gets watery after that.





The layer below is quite thick because I wanted to show you how clear the liquid is even when a thick layer was applied. When it is this clear, you can obviously expect it to get absorbed into the skin quickly too. Thumbs up on this!





I have been using this range for the last two to three weeks and now, I can do my shoot with a peace of mind knowing that my skin is well taken care of! 🙂
