Beauty does however come with a price, so we’ve scoured far and beyond to source you decent dupes for a fraction of the price – plus they can easily be purchased and delivered to Hong Kong.

But I don’t have the patience to sit through 5 or 6 hours without scratching my face. Mizon’s Hyalugen Pearly Jelly Mask combines hyaluronic acid and collagen to provide moisture and elasticity in one go and gets the job done in 20 to 30 minutes!
