I found a half price alternative to the Laneige bouncy and firm sleeping mask
If you're on the Korean skincare hype, then you'll likely be across Laneige's famed sleeping masks. From the lip mask (£15.75, to the beauty buzzword 'cica' mask (£25.50, the brand is all about soothing overnight solutions. With the bouncy and firm mask (£32, Laneige uses collagen as an anti-ageing solution, combining hydration and nourishment to leave you with a healthy, springy skin barrier. But what if I told you another brand just launched an alternative for less than half the price? No7 has just released its good intent bouncy jelly mask (£14.95, which promises to soften, moisturise and give a dewy, 'glass skin' finish. The two products are very similar; the branding, pink packaging and springy translucent formulas mean there's little to split the two on paper. So the question is: how do they compare in practice? I got my hands on No7's good intent mask yesterday (24 June) to gauge my first impressions before its online drop. It wasn't, however, my first impression of the Laneige mask, with it launching more than a year ago in March 2024. Nonetheless, I acquainted (and reacquainted) myself with the treatments and set about comparing the two. Scroll on for my verdict. How I tested While No7's bouncy jelly mask recommends a minimum 10-minute use time, Laneige's stipulates overnight application. Considering my familiarity with the Laneige bouncy and firm formula, having used it overnight, I didn't revisit its 8-hour effectiveness. Instead, with one day to review No7's latest innovation, I gave both formulas around 20 minutes on clean skin: establishing a No7 first impression and refamiliarising myself with the Laneige. I followed both brands' instructions to apply a thin layer before removing with warm water and a hot flannel. I paid attention to the consistency of the masks on my skin, including any notable scents and textures, and then recorded the state of my skin afterwards. I looked to see any reflections of the brands' glowy and hydrating claims, and noted any positive or negative changes to the appearance and feel of my skin. Here's how I got on. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews Lucy Smith has several years of experience covering new beauty launches and has covered Laneige and No7 extensively. For the former, she's reviewed the watermelon lip mask, while for No7, she's explored everything from the velvet cloud blush to the soft glow cream bronzer.

Korean skincare cured my acne, made my skin softer & banished redness – now I'm opening Scotland's first K-beauty shop
IF you've been keeping up with the goings on in the world of skincare in the last couple years, then Korean trends will certainly be on your radar. It has been popular in the West for decades, but TikTok has taken the craze to a whole new level. 2 2 The trending 'glass skin' look is perhaps why K-beauty is on every beauty fan's radar, but it's the quality of the products that keeps them buying. And nobody knows this better than Korean skincare expert Lauren Miller who has been using the innovative buys for five years. Lauren first discovered K-beauty while working in the operating theatres at a busy hospital during Covid. The Scots mum's skin "really suffered" from wearing PPE all day so when she stumbled across an advert for Korean products she decided to give them a go - and they have completely transformed her skin. She told Scottish Woman Magazine: "My acne improved, my skin was softer, and my redness and irritation were gone. It changed my life, and I wouldn't use anything else on my skin now. "It's almost addictive, with so many brands and products to choose from – but with ingredients to treat so many skin problems, there really is a product for everyone." And Lauren is now opening Scotland's first Korean skincare store, Wee Ghost Beauty, in Glasgow later this month. She said: "In Scotland, we can have all four seasons in one day and our skin can really suffer. I believe Korean skincare is the answer we've all been looking for. I want my customers – no matter what their budget is – to be able to buy from Wee Ghost Beauty. Quality skincare should be accessible to all, and I believe that is where Korean skincare stands out from the crowd. "Even in the less expensive brands you will still find the best ingredients and a huge range of products, so it appeals to beginners and enthusiasts of all ages and budgets." I let my kid start wearing make-up aged 3 - I've spent £1.5K on her 200 products & her skincare regime has 9 steps Korean skincare places particular emphasis on hydration, skin barrier repair, brightening, and anti-ageing. The use of microbiome and probiotic ingredients is also popular. Korean skincare routines can be up to 10 steps and double cleansing is always a must. And sought-after K-beauty products often contain innovative ingredients you might not have come across before, such as snail mucin - the mucus secreted by snails. You might be put off by the idea, but lovers of this slimy skincare craze claim products containing snail mucin leave their face glowing and hydrated. Other ingredients you might not have seen incorporated into skincare before include ginseng and bean essence.

From soothing serums to hydrating masks, these overnight heroes work hard for your skin while you sleep
Night-time is an important window for your skin , as it's when it repairs itself and works hard to restore the moisture lost during the day. So, why not speed up the process? These brilliant overnight treatments are designed to repair, soothe, hydrate, and smooth everything – from lips and under eyes to your hands. Ground Wellbeing Biome Overnight Repair Oil Ground Wellbeing Biome Overnight Repair Oil (€60 for 30ml from A leader in overnight treatments for the face and the body, home-grown wellness brand Ground Wellbeing does it like no other. Biome Overnight Repair Oil (€60 for 30ml from ) is one standout option for the face. Potent and powerful, the oil is light and instantly hydrating, and absorbs within seconds, stimulating cell renewal and reducing inflammation so you wake up to calmer, smoother, more radiant skin by morning. For the body, try Night Body Balm and Night Body Oil – formulated to soothe the skin and support deep, restorative sleep. Laneige Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleep Mask Laneige Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleep Mask (€32 from Space NK) Korean skincare brand Laneige knows a thing or two about overnight products, as creators of the brilliant Lip Sleeping Mask and Water Sleeping Mask , both of which I've recommended before. They've now turned their attention to the eye area, which is often the first to betray signs of tiredness. Laneige Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleep Mask (€32 from Space NK) is a lightweight, creamy gel that delivers intense hydration and plumping to the under eye area. Apply generously around the entire eye area and gently pat it in. Leave on overnight to work its magic, then rinse off in the morning as part of your usual cleanse. [ The best skin tints for summer 2025: Skincare meets lighter coverage for a fresh, dewy finish Opens in new window ] Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask (€9 from Another standout Korean skincare brand, Biodance made waves on social media last year with its Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask (€9 from ). This unique, milky-white sheet mask gradually turns transparent as you wear it for several hours. Infused with a powerhouse blend of soothing, hydrating, cell-communicating ingredients – like adenosine, tocopherol, niacinamide, allantoin, and collagen extract, to name a few – it delivers visible results. While four hours is the minimum wear time for noticeable effects, wearing it overnight delivers the most benefits: calm, plump, deeply hydrated skin by morning. READ MORE Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronised Multi-Recovery Complex Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex (€77 for 30ml from Brown Thomas) A cult classic, and for good reason. Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronised Multi-Recovery Complex (€77 for 30ml from Brown Thomas) has been a staple in my routine for more than a decade, and I remember using the eye cream version in my early 20s. There's no product quite like it for encouraging skin regeneration while you sleep. It doubles brilliantly as a hydrating serum during the day. One of the best skincare investments you can make. Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Mask Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Mask (€18 from Space NK) I'm a big fan of overnight lip treatments, and Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Mask (€18 from Space NK) is up there with the best. With a rich, balm-like formula, it's packed with shea butter, jojoba oil and avocado oil to plump and deeply hydrate the lips. There's a generous amount of product in the tub too, and at just €18, it's great value. [ The best beauty minis to buy for travel this summer Opens in new window ] Laura Mercier Amber Vanille Soufflé Hand Cream Laura Mercier Amber Vanille Soufflé Hand Cream (€38 from Space NK) Not technically an overnight product, but worthy of a spot on this list thanks to its long-lasting results (and decadent formula), Laura Mercier Amber Vanille Soufflé Hand Cream (€38 from Space NK) is pure indulgence. It delivers immediate nourishment while continuing to work its magic over time. It's a permanent fixture in both my handbag and on my bedside table. The rich, velvety cream melts into the skin and smells exquisite. This week I'm loving ... Spotlight Oral Care Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips Spotlight Oral Care Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips (24.95 from Spotlight Oral Care) A great launch from another home-grown brand, Spotlight Oral Care Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips visibly whiten your teeth after just one use.

They're reasonably priced too: €24.95 for a seven-day pack.
