Formula 10.0.6 Be Berry Smooth Peel Off Mask

Product Review: Be Berry Smooth Peel Off Mask

On one of my Target runs, I came across this product (and many other Formula 10.0.6 products) due to the bright and colorful packaging. I rarely sheet mask nowadays, but was looking for something somewhat hydrating. This Be Berry Smooth one sounded like it would do the trick, and it being a peel off mask, made it more economical (it was only ~$7 at Target).

Disclosure:
I bought this with my own money from Target. I was not given anything in exchange for this review. I enjoy doing product reviews to share my own experiences with the product and hope someone finds it useful. I do not work for Formula 10.0.6 or Target.

Formula 10.0.6 Skin Care

About Formula 10.0.6:
As quoted from the Aspire Brand website, "Created by a Chemist in 1933, Formula 10.0.6 is an iconic and credible skin care brand trusted to perfect troublesome young skin. Designed with a vibrant sense of style, Formula 10.0.6 has a unique youthful confidence that is warm, friendly and fun. The range offers an honest and uncomplicated approach to skin care, created for achievable complexion perfection. Products are formulated with a familiar mix of botanicals to deliver a range of accessible, effective and easy to use products to promote clear and healthy skin."

Product Description:
Basically the product is a mask loaded with blueberry antioxidants plus invigorating pineapple, that when peeled off, reveals soft and comfortably hydrated (but not overly so like a sheet mask) skin to the touch.

Product Claims:
Not too much is written about the product to be honest, but from its name of “Be Berry Smooth”, I pretty much expected a mask that would act as kind of a clay mask/exfoliating mask hybrid. The peel off function alone sounds like the mask would help draw out some of the impurities from your skin (hence all the antioxidants), and the actual action of peeling it off, would gently remove some of the dead skin cells lying on your face.

How To Use:
After cleansing (and also after using a wipe-off toner if you choose), apply a fairly generous layer on skin. I personally focused on some areas that I felt could use some extra antioxidant action. Try to apply the product as evenly as possible so that it will be easier to remove. Leave on your face for about 10 minutes and then slowly peel off starting from your jaw line. You can gently wash or wipe off any remaining excess with water/toner if needed. I usually just continued on with the rest of my skincare routine after peeling (I don’t have any leftover product).

Packaging, Scent & Texture

Packaging:
Formula 10.0.6 are very millennial-looking (Instagrammable) with their bright contrasting colors and fold font choices. I really do appreciate how the product comes in an easy-to-squeeze tube, as a lot of masks come in jars which some aren’t a big fan of for sanitary reasons. The actual tube itself is also fairly slim and isn’t as "bubbly" as some other skincare products that come in a tube (like most cleansers for example). The purple color itself, serves as a visual cue for us to expect that this product contains berries and is loaded in antioxidants.

Scent & Texture:
It does smell like grapes/berries. For the texture, it is kind of thick and goopy, kind of a like a semi-transparent purple glue. It is pretty much sticky like glue.

Does The Formula 10.0.6 Really Make You Be Berry Smooth?

Performance:
The product pretty much does what it says.

My face does feel smooth and seems less congested after masking.

While it doesn’t leave your face drenched in hydration like a sheet mask, it does still give you a bit of hydration in the way that a hydrating cleanser doesn’t strip your face dry after cleansing.

Now if you are more oily/acne-prone, I don’t think the product will do much in that aspect (at least I wouldn’t expect it to). I used this on my boyfriend who was experiencing a breakout on his forehead, and while this did make the pimple a little less severe looking, an actual product designed for acne would better treat the issue. However, this product is good for ongoing maintenance on your skin and when you just want a little pick-me-up. Formula 10.0.6. Does have the product Be Berry Clear specifically for minimizing pores and flare ups in a peel off mask.

Pros:

• Very affordable at $7 USD.
• A decent pick-me-up that costs a lot less than sheet masking overtime.
• Can be found at most (if not all) local Target stores.
• Smells good (if you’re not sensitive to scented products and don’t mind fruity scents).
• A good mask choice for normal/combo skin.
• Lots of extracts/natural ingredients.
• Comes in a convenient, fairly slim flip-top tube.

Cons:

• The sticky glue-like texture might be off-putting to some.
• Although at the bottom of the list, this product does contain alcohol for those that are sensitive to this ingredient or prefer to use products without it.
• Won’t be purifying enough for oily/acne-prone skin.
• Might not be hydrating enough for dry skin.

A Queen Helene Grape Seed Extract Alternative

Final Impressions:
If you’ve ever heard of/used the Queen Helene version, this is pretty much like that but with nicer packaging, better ingredients, and probably easier to find as well.

This isn’t one of the better masks I’ve used. However, I did have a lot of fun using this.

There is just something satisfying about peeling all that gunk on your face off.

If you like a little bit of fun in your skincare (like me), but also want something that actually has good ingredients, you might want to check this product out. You can’t lose too much when this product is so affordable (it probably costs as much a one high quality sheet mask). I will most likely repurchase this product when done (or at least look into other Formula 10.0.6 products).

Final Rating = 3/5

• Origins GinZing Peel-Off Mask To Refine And Refresh - A more pricey peel-off mask with coffee beans and panax ginseng.
• Freeman Feeling Beautiful Cucumber Facial Peel-Off Mask - An affordable drugstore staple for some. Contains cooling and soothing cucumber and aloe.
• MD’s Pick Aqua H.C. Moist Collagen Peel Off Modeling Mask - My favorite rubber mask. Whether you've ever tried rubber masks or not, you have to at least try this one. It's the most hydrating rubber mask I've ever used (read my review).
