You, too, can get almost-perfect skin worthy of a Korean Idol - without having to use face filters or makeup. No matter your skin type, all you need is to add the right products to your daily face routine. We tried out 6 skincare products from Mirage Miracle, which were customised by skincare doctors and lab specialists and made in Korea. Here’s our review on how they worked for us.

#1: Refining Face Polish

If you want your skin to retain a smooth, poreless appearance, ditch abrasive scrubs and go for a gentle exfoliator sans microbeads. The Refining Face Polish ($58.90) infused with Papaya Extract is one such product that won’t aggravate sensitive skin or cause enlarged pores.
Simply massage the gel-like formula on a clean, dry face in circular motions, and after a while, you’ll see tiny flecks start forming. That would be none other than your dead skin cells.

It’ll take a while for the effect to show - I was exfoliating for about a minute before anything happened - but the patience will be worth it. I was amazed by the amount of excess buildup that got dislodged from my skin, and did not experience any redness or irritation that microbead scrubs can bring.
What’s interesting about this exfoliator is that you’re supposed to use it before cleansing, so that your cleanser can properly penetrate your skin and give it a more thorough wash.
#2: Super Moisture Cleanser

The next step is cleansing to remove all remaining traces of makeup and embedded gunk from your face. Try the Super Moisture Cleanser ($58.90), which has a milky texture that feels comfortable on the skin - thanks to its highly hydrating Macadamia Oil which is full of essential fatty acids. It also has antioxidant properties, and helps restore collagen and skin elasticity.
I found that this cleanser left a slight creamy film on my face after washing - in a good way! This was a blessing for my sensitive skin which sometimes experiences tightness and flaking post-washing. The end result was non-oily, with a bouncy, velvety-smooth touch. A pleasant floral scent was an added bonus!
#3: Hyaluronic Serum

Simply moisturising daily isn’t enough. You’ll also need a good serum that penetrates deep into your skin’s layers to restore lost hydration levels. Hyaluronic Acid is a must-have in your routine as it’s a magic ingredient that holds up to 1,000 times its own weight in moisture!

With 100% Concentrate Hyaluronic Acid, Mirage Miracle’s Hyaluronic Serum ($79.90) gets the job done in just one pump. It has a smooth gel-like texture that absorbs well into the skin, leaving a matte texture without any heaviness or sticky residue. My skin drank this right up and instantly felt fresher!
#4: Clear Care Serum

One misconception many have is that serum is only for hydration, which isn’t necessarily the case. The Clear Care Serum ($65.90) is specially formulated for those with acne-prone, blemish-ridden skin. With Tea Tree Leaf Oil as a key ingredient, this helps treat existing flare-ups while preventing new ones by reducing sebum.
Adding on to the list of natural ingredients here are Pine Mushroom Extract and Lotus Flower Extract, which work together to regulate oil and manage acne while improving elasticity and preventing wrinkles.
This has a more watery texture compared to the Hyaluronic Serum, with a slight medicinal scent. Simply smooth it all over your face, paying special attention to areas of concern.
#5: Collagen Ampoule - $79.90

Ever since collagen became an anti-ageing “it” product, ladies have been going crazy over supplements in bid to retain their youthfulness. That may work, but the best course of action would be to apply it straight to your face with products like Mirage Miracle’s Collagen Ampoule ($79.90).
As it's made solely with Hydrolyzed Collagen from marine origin, a little goes a long way - in fact, only 1-2 drops are needed each time. Each tiny drop of goodness is packed with a whopping 17 amino acids, and other than increasing collagen production, it helps tighten pores, reduce fine lines, minimise sebum, and give your skin an overall plumper and more radiant look.
I noticed that it smelled exactly the same as my collagen pills, which further assured me that I was getting the real deal. The texture is slightly tacky at first touch, but spend some time tapping it in properly and you’ve got nothing to worry about.
#6: Silk Protein Repairing Mask - $89.90

On days where you need a little extra pampering, treat yourself to the Silk Protein Repairing Mask ($89.90) to soothe tired skin in need of perk-me-up. As its name suggests, it contains Silk Protein to help retain moisture - along with Hyaluronic Acid and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) to firm and tone skin.

From the get go, I was pleased to see how soaked in serum this sheet mask was, and placing it on my face felt super satisfying and refreshing as it came with a slight cooling minty sensation. Let’s just say that removing it after a blissful 20-30 minutes was a struggle - I’d have loved to keep it on for even longer and could even have fallen asleep!
Results-wise, it revived my skin and made it feel well-hydrated. It’s no wonder that it won a beauty award for being the best brightening mask in 2019!
