I was just talking about the importance of facial sheet masks in another blog post, and today I’m sharing my thoughts on LAC Taut Premium Collagen Mask. Just like standard tube or jar masks, the sheet masks vary by type: there are whitening, exfoliating, clarifying, detoxifying, moisturizing, lifting and other varieties to choose from.

LAC Taut Premium Collagen Mask is specifically formulated to target sagging, dehydrated and dull-looking skin by utilizing the proprietary blend of hydrolyzed collagen, botanical squalene, hyaluronic acid and anti-oxidants. As most sheet masks, this one is applied to clean dry skin, and left for 10-15 minutes. After the time is up, we discard the sheet and gently massage the leftover essence into the skin. There will be some liquid left in the pack, which should be used to moisturize the neck and decolletage area.
There was something that stood out to me about these masks – their size. These sheets are probably the biggest I’ve ever seen, so people with bigger faces will quite enjoy using them. As for me, I had to fold it several times around the edges of my face to make sure it fits correctly.
The good thing about sheet masks is the instant effect, and LAC Taut Premium Collagen Mask provided my skin with instant moisture, and made it look brighter [thanks to vitamin C in the formula] and plumper, reducing my laugh lines to nothing. The effect, however, was temporary, and several hours later they reappeared again. LAC recommends using these masks at least 2-3 times a week to slow the formation of new lines, as well as diminish the appearance of the existing ones. To ensure long-lasting effect, they also recommend taking collagen shots to boost your skin from inside out.
THE VERDICT
LAC Taut Premium Collagen Mask provides my skin with instant cooling, lifting, brightening and firming effect, however the line-reducing result is temporary, unless you can commit to using them regularly. These masks are a great pick-me-up for the skin after it experienced severe dryness or stress, because they restore the vitality and radiance in as low as 15 minutes.
PRICE & AVAILABILITY
$50 USD for a box of 5 masks. Available at Renew Alliance, Fred Segal in Los Angeles, New London Pharmacy in New York.

Hi Leelo — I’m new to the brand, too, but so far the experience has been a positive one.
Gotta love the Hannibal looking masks. I want one, sounds like a great addition to at home pamper session.

Hi Tina — I’m a huge fan of sheet masks, too, aren’t they just the best for tired skin?
These masks are my favorite, hannibal lector look-a-like and all 🙂
Hi Angela — Mine, too! Love the looks I get from my family when I strut around the house wearing these 🙂
Ooh – I want to try this. I like when masks offer a quick pick me up but hate when the results are temporary. I feel that I just don’t use them enough to keep up with the results it offered and it drives me nuts.
Hi Honey — Unfortunately that’s the sad reality of skincare, we have to use it religiously to see any results, and as soon as we stop, most of it just goes away.
Sounds like it would be great before an event.
Hi there! — Yes, sheet masks in general offer a great pick-me-up for tired skin, and make it look fresh and radiant again almost instantly.
These masques look amazing but the price! *”Uncle Peter! My smelling salts!”*
Hi Erika — I’m no expert, but maybe it has something to do with a higher concentration of active ingredients.
I am a serious mask fanatic! So funny that we have so much in common! <3 Great giveaway!
Hi Laura — We really are alike! Good luck 🙂
I love masks. This is great and thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Kelly — Masks are a great pick me up for the skin, aren’t they? Good luck!
I love these mask facials. Makes me feel like I’m in the movie “The Mask” lol.
Hi there — Haha, you’re right! I always found it really funny that something that’s supposed to make us look pretty could be so creepy 🙂
Love sheet masks, they are definitely my favorite kind lately!
Hi Stephanie Louise — You and me both! I used sheet masks occasionally before, but this year I really got into them.
I’ve never tried a sheet mask!
Hi Miranda — You should try one some day, they can often be found at drugstores at reasonable price points, and there’s a large variety to choose from. They aren’t all anti-aging 🙂
Would be kinda cool to do before getting pictures done, or a night out. Get rid of those lines for a few hours. I’m not ready for collagen shots!
Hi Nidia — Yep, those are some of the best uses for these masks! I’m not too sure about those shots either, but I believe those are targeted at an older demographic.
It’s a great way to enjoy a facial from the comfort of your own home
Hi Betzy — Indeed, it is 🙂
I have this and have been playing with it! Love these masks!
Hi there — Glad you had a chance to try these masks, too, they’re pretty good, aren’t they?
This mask looks interesting to me. What a coincidence reading your post about a facial sheet mask coz I just removed mine!
Hi Kath — What a coincidence, indeed! Which mask did you use?
lovely giveaway!
Hi Shelley — Thank you, and good luck!
oh my gosh, these are my favorite! I love them!
Hi there! — Glad to hear that you like these, too!
I so want to try a sheet mask. I hope I win I shared via Twitter as well. Great review BTW!
Hi Ashley — I hope you get a chance to try it, and good luck!
I used to use these ones all the time. They are lovely and really helped give my skin a good drink.
Hi Kimmi — They sure are moisturizing! I just got into sheet masks this year, and I already feel that I should have started much earlier. I used them before, but never regularly.
Ok, I totally need a set of these!
