Review
This mask came in a free 8 mask sample box with a purchase several weeks ago. I don't sheet mask on a regular basis like some do, but I prefer to do it every 2 weeks or before an important event. I decided to get around to testing this mask a few days ago because I have nothing important coming up, so in the event that the test went horribly I would have a while to recover.
The mask is a single packed mask with pearl paper soaked in a generous amount of flower-fragranced essence. The fit is wide and the mask itself is made out of soft cotton.
The essence is non-irritating and contains a number of beneficial ingredients in addition to the plant essences:
- Glycerin/Glycerol- Humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate/Hyaluronic Acid- superior humectant
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate- Anti-irritant, may reduce inflammation and possibly acne
- Aloe Vera- Soothing
However, there is one ingredient that stuck out. Sclerotium Rolfsii is a fungus that attacks crops, and it seems that something like that has no place in a cosmetic product. However, it produces a crosspolymer thickening agent called Sclerotium Gum when it is part of a glucose-based fermentation process, and it seems safe for skin application.
The mask's smell is rather strong, similar to MBD masks, so this won't be a good choice for someone who is sensitive to strongly fragranced products. I don't mind it too much, although there were moments when the breeze from my fan hit me in the face, causing the mask's fragrance to diffuse wildly into the air.
However, the mask was very hydrating and I noticed a brightening effect the next day. The mask is very sticky even after applying the rest of my routine so if you sheet mask in the morning or during the day, this mask may not be good for those purposes unless you're sure that you don't want to go outside. For nighttime purposes, though, this mask is very suitable.
