StriVectin Silver Peel-Off Purifier

Some of you may have seen the silver peel off masks that have been floating around on the skincare market for a little while, and StriVectin now has their own!

I was sent two lab samples of this product (first time that’s ever happened to me!), so I can’t speak to what the actual bottle looks and feels like, but I was provided with the shot above which is pretty darn sleek looking.

The StriVectin Silver Peel-Off Purifier is an “innovative mask, formulated with the power of colloidal silver, [it] helps purge skin of built up debris and pollutants. Complexion is left soft, smooth, and radiant, perfectly primed for the application of serum, moisturizer, and makeup.” It’s intended to be used before you continue your skincare routine, kind of as a prep step. It was formulated to physically draw out dirt and environmental impurities that builds in our pores on a daily basis.

Key ingredients:

  • Proprietary NIA-114: scientifically proven to reinvigorate skin surface for optimal performance, strengthen and nourish the moisture barrier, inhibit the impact of environmental aggressors, and intensify the efficacy of other ingredients.
  •  Refining Enzyme Complex: comprised of five potent enzymes found naturally in the body, the non-abrasive compound promotes skin surface renewal to reveal radiant, smooth skin and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Encapsulated Moisture Delivery System: a controlled release of hydration to the skin ensures long-lasting moisture throughout the night leaving skin soft and cushioned.

I applied a generous layer to my face, but be aware that if you apply too much in some areas, it will pool up and take a heck of a lot longer to dry. They say you can wait 15-20 minutes before removing, but I found I had to wait a teensy bit longer because I applied a bit too much in some areas.

While the mask was on, I had a slight tingling sensation on my skin as the mask worked into my skin. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I really, REALLY like when I can feel my skincare at work on my skin, so I was really pleased about that. (If I can’t feel SOMETHING happening, I often feel like NOTHING in happening!) Once the mask has fully dried it’ll be transfer-proof (test it with your fingers!) and you’ll have the absolute delight of pulling off a full face mask in on fell swoop. LOVE!

My skin felt really nice afterwards – not tight like some masks can make it feel, but smooth and supple. Amazingly, I also felt like I didn’t need to apply moisturizer, which is not something I expected to feel with a purifying mask!

The StriVectin Silver Peel-Off Purifier mask retails for $72 CAD. It can be purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart and Murale locations, as well as online at beautyboutique.ca.

  1. This is such a cool mask, it looks like something from the future (and a bit like mercury too… hahha just a bit less toxic!). It also sounds lovely to the skin, I’ll have a look and see if they sell it in the UK too! 🙂 x

    1. YES! It does look like mercury! I’m not sure what’s up with the launch of this product – I was able to find it at online retailers in Canada, but not even on StriVectin’s own site which is a bit odd.

    1. I know – it can be a little bit hard to suss out what’s a gimmick and what actually works. Especially since visible results can take weeks/months to show up on the face. I’ve used this mask three times in the past two weeks and enjoyed the after effects of how my face FELT, but I didn’t see any visible results. So a bit of a toss up really.

    1. Have you tried other products by StriVectin? What have you loved? This was my first time using the brand so I have no idea what their other products are like.
      I was really surprised that I didn’t feel like I needed to moisturize right away. That’s not something I’ve ever felt before with a mask so I was pretty impressed by that. Especially since this isn’t really touted as a hydrating product – more of a purifying one.
