People call Hanacure’s viral face mask “Botox in a Bottle.” Naturally, I had to try it.
I remember seeing Drew Barrymore post about Hanacure in 2017 (before the enormous fame), talking about how their skin-tightening face mask changed her life and saying things like: “When you take [the mask] off you are 10 years younger.”
That’s no meager review. Apparently, the All-In-One Facial® works by lifting and pulling the skin, drawing out impurities, in an effect that makes you look bloody terrifying for 20 minutes only to leave you with instantly lifted, smooth, plump, and evenly toned skin. But at $29.50 a mask, these things aren’t exactly an everyday purchase.
I read on Hanacure’s website that they recommend using the mask “once or twice per week, at least 3-4 days apart, for at least 1 month.” Then you can use it more or less as needed. If the mask is as life-changing as Drew says it is, the end justifies the means here… but I decided to put it to the test to see how it affected my skin throughout the first month and beyond (and to test Hanacure’s frequency claims).
The idea of an at-home facelift glow-up with compounding positive effects on my face over time for only $29.50 sounded almost too good to be true. I’d find out soon enough.
But First, a Little Background on the Hanacure Hype
You don’t have to be chronically online like me to have heard of Hanacure by now. This face mask has won 11 awards, was shouted out by Kim & Kourtney Kardashian along with Drew Barrymore, and has landed features on Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Vanity Fair. Not to mention the fact that it’s all over TikTok. Odds are you’ve seen it before.
Aside from the celebrity love, the mask is so popular because it keeps it simple. Hanacure develops its products in-house and uses “the highest concentration of clinically proven ingredients” in a hypoallergenic, dermatologist-approved formula that’s clinically tested for all ethnicities, vegan, & gluten-free.
It seems like everything I read about this brand is glowing. There was even a clinical trial for all ethnicities and skin types that resulted in 97% of respondents saying their skin was tighter, firmer, and more lifted after using the mask. And after trying it out for 60 days, I can say with confidence that this is the single greatest skincare tool I’ve ever experienced. Here’s how it went…
Day 1: Trying Out the Mask for the First Time
I ordered Hanacure’s All-In-One Facial® Set, which costs $118 and comes with 4 iterations of the mask. I had a little buyer’s remorse at first but started to feel better when I saw their 100% money-back guarantee and the entire Instagram account dedicated to Hanacure’s astonishing before and after photos.
The box has a luxurious vibe to it, with four glass Octolift® Ampoules, 4 Octolift® Solutions, and an applicator brush with a glass handle. It was kinda bougie, but I loved it. After painting one of the solutions on my face and waiting a few minutes, I understood immediately why January Jones called it “for real intense.”
I washed it off 20 minutes later, followed up with my favorite moisturizer, and stepped back to check the results. I was impressed. My skin didn’t just feel tight, it looked noticeably firmer and smoother (especially on my forehead). My cheeks felt somehow softer and tighter at the same time, and my whole face just had this beautiful shine to it, like I’d already put on makeup.
I gotta be honest, I wasn’t expecting such a success from the first attempt. But hey, I’m here for it…
Day 30: Halfway Through
After using the mask four times, I think I can say I have the routine down pat. And y’all: the results are just too good. I kept getting that instant lifting effect that I got from the first attempt, but I noticed that the “Hanacure glow” started to last a little bit longer each time. My face looks overall brighter and tighter during the week, too, not just in the hours after using the mask.
Apparently, this long-lasting brightening is due to the “resurfacing” that happens from the high concentration of peptides and botanicals that work to clarify, calm, and soothe the skin after the Octolift® technology does its tightening and lifting magic. Whatever the hell it is, I love it. Let’s keep it rolling…
Day 60: Did Hanacure Live Up to Its Word? Hell Yes.
Honestly, the instant results I got from just one use of this mask were enough to make me a Hanacure believer. But after using the mask once a week for a month, and once every two weeks for another month… I’ve seen enough to make me a Hanacure diehard.
The “Hanacure glow” continued to last longer and longer, and now it feels like that glow has just sunk into my skin. Plus, I’ve noticed a visible difference in the fine lines and wrinkles around my forehead. Something I did not expect to improve was the hyperpigmentation around my chin and cheeks from acne scarring… but even those areas are less noticeable after committing to the Hanacure routine.
After the first month, I started using Hanacure’s Microphol Neutralizing Cleanser and Nano Emulsion Moisturizer alongside the mask, and I’ve been almost as obsessed with them, too. I was using La Roche Posay before, and the difference is night and day in my opinion. When Drew Barrymore said Hanacure makes you “10 years younger,” she really meant that.
The Hanacure Hype Is Real. The Results Just Keep Getting Better.
After doing it myself, I definitely get Hanacure’s recommendations for the frequency of the mask. It was like getting a jumpstart to bouncy, glowing skin… and then having an instant skin-tightening hack for an extra pop whenever I felt like I needed it. No wonder all these celebrities are obsessed.
But the biggest benefit for me was how the results compounded, and then lasted, over time. The All-In-One Facial® isn’t just a quick fix pick-me-up, it’s a foundational upgrade to firm, lifted, smooth, and evenly toned skin (especially when you pair it with Hanacure’s moisturizer and cleanser duo). If you’re on the fence, it’s worth mentioning that ordering the All-In-One Facial® comes with free shipping and a 100% money-back guarantee, too.
Results That Keep Getting Better.
