What makes SKIN REPUBLIC special?

Most mask brands focus on sensory experiences and scent. SKIN REPUBLIC focuses on active ingredients in noticeable concentrations—the same active ingredients found in much more expensive serums, here in a single mask or a daily serum for under 13 CHF. The sheet masks are manufactured in Korea—the home of the sheet mask format—while the serums and packaging come from Europe. The brand and concept originated in South Africa.
