Fro-yo girl here. The Crème Shop is a Korean skincare and color cosmetics brand. I’ve seen their masks around for years and then they caught my eye with the Sanrio/Hello Kitty collaboration. They have a wide variety of fusion sheet masks. Fusion sheet masks capture the benefits of 2 masks in 1. One of the fusion sheet masks is Raspberry & Yogurt. Raspberry is supposed to fight off bacteria, while the lactic acid in yogurt gently exfoliates to “reveal a bright and luminous complexion.” The mask also has hyaluronic acid which moisturizes the skin and helps it to retain moisture.
The Crème Shop Raspberry & Yogurt Fusion Mask is made in Korea and retails for $3 for a single use sheet mask. While it’s made in Korea, it’s desiged in Los Angeles. The Crème Shop’s products are cruelty free. You can purchase it from The Crème Shop website.
Raspberry & Yogurt mask: The mask is saturated in liquid. You apply it to clean skin and wait for 20 – 30 minutes. I liked the light raspberry scent. After taking the mask off, my skin felt sticky, cold, and very moist. The next morning, my skin still felt moisturized. It seems like the effect of the mask lasts longer than other sheet masks.

Fro-yo girl here. A sweet friend of mine sent me new gel essence yogurt masks from Pure Smile. The masks are imported from Korea. The thin mask sheet is saturated with a thick gel and contains Vitamin C, glycerin, collagen, yogurt extract, and berry extract.
To use, unfold the mask sheet, place it on your face, smooth it out, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. After 15-20 minutes, remove the mask and tap the remaining gel into your skin. After I took it off, my face definitely felt moisturized. There was a lot of gel left.
The mask is good for all skin types. It smells like berries and goes on slimy and cold. You can buy the Pure Smile Gel Essence masks online from Alpha Beauty.

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Ettang modeling cup masks at Riley Rose at the Glendale Galleria. Maneki Neko also carries Ettang masks. Their face masks come in powdered form in cups. Most of the writing on the packaging was in Korean, so I had to do some online research to learn how to use the mask that I purchased. However, once I opened the mask, there were instructions in English on the inside. The masks were $4 each at Riley Rose. One cup is 17 g.
Each type of mask has a different benefit:
- Acerola: brightens skin
- Chlorella: soothes skin
- Calendula: hydrates skin
- Charcoal: controls sebum
- Collagen: improves elasticity
- Mulberry: smooths and brightens skin
- Propolis: protects skin
- Yogurt: smooths and firms skin
One cup contains enough for one use. You take the powder out of the cup, add water to the cup to the line, add the powder back, and mix it quickly with the spatula that it comes with. It’s easy to transport and use anywhere. It’s too bad you need a separate container for the powder though.
Once you add the water, mix for a minute. It dries quickly, so be sure to apply it quickly. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Peel off the mask and the residue.
The mask has no added parabens or chemical preservatives. It is supposed to shrink pores and leave your skin moist and elastic. It contains rubber.
* Yogurt Cup Pack: The yogurt mask is said to leave your skin smoother, with a bright skin tone and glossy finish. The mask did dry quickly and I couldn’t get all the lumps out. It had little fragrance and applies like a thick paste or glue. Because of the clumpiness, it was pretty ugly once applied. The color was a pale purple. Not all of the mask peeled off easily, so it was messy. My skin did feel softer but just a little.
3 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Itibiti Yogurt Mask at Candy Doll Beauty in San Francisco’s Japantown. The packaging has an oversized picture that looks like a giant bottle of Yakult, the probiotic beverage. One mask is $3.50.
The yogurt mask does have yogurt in it. It is imported from Korea. One pouch is 25g. It is a mask sheet with cutouts for your eyes, nose and mouth. The packaging says that the mask will make your skin look moist, smooth and flexible. It also improves wrinkles.
The directions are to cleanse and tone, cover your face with the mask, remove the mask after 10-20 minutes and gently pat the face for the remaining serum to be absorbed by the skin.
* Yogurt mask: The mask was heavy, wet, sticky, slimy and cold. It smelled like Yakult mixed with alcohol. It felt cold at first but then it warmed up. It remained sticky and after removing the mask, there was a considerable amount of the sticky fluid left. It was absorbed by my skin when I slept. The mask was very moisturizing, so it did live up to its claims. I wasn’t crazy about the fragrance though.
Ingredients: Water, glycerin, methylpropanediol, yogurt extract, polysorbate 80, hydroxyethylcellulose, adenosine, disodium EDTA, camellia sinensis leaf extract, lactobacillus/lemon peel ferment extract, lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract, pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, sodium hyaluronate, phenoxyethanol, carboner, triethanolamine, fragrance.
3.5 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been a longtime fan of Korres Yoghurt skincare line and I was excited to find another Greek yogurt product at Nature Republic. Nature Republic is a South Korean cosmetics company with retail locations in Asia and the US.
I spotted three types of yogurt packs: Blueberry for skin elasticity, Orange for skin brightening and Plain for nourishing. Plain smelled the best (like apricot).
The plain yogurt pack is meant to be applied at night as a sleeping mask. It gets absorbed into your skin so there’s no need to rinse it off. You can also use the product in the day as a nourishing cream. You’re supposed to apply a generous amount but I didn’t want to get it on my pillow.
The plain yogurt pack looks like yogurt (white) and it’s thick and creamy like Greek yogurt. Yogurt is good for moisturizing and soothing your skin. I put some on my dry skin and it felt instantly soothed. Every time I wake up after using the pack, my skin feels soft.
Nature Republic’s yogurt pack is made with shea butter, jojoba seed oil, lactobacillus ferment, lactococcus ferment lysate, streptococcus thermophilus ferment, yogurt extract, etc. It’s made in Korea. One tub is 4.39 fl oz and sells for $12.90. It looks like a cup of yogurt and comes with a spatula.
