My experience:
This sheet mask is my greatest enemy of 2018. It rendered to be useless after application and on the top of everything it has broken me out. I started getting small rough patches with milia on the places where mask was adhered well – forehead and cheeks covered in small tiny bumps. took 2 days to get rid of these. Had to apply the Madecanol Cream by MISSHA to get rid of the itch and what seemed to be the rash.
The mask packaging is very cute and looks natural and herbal. The ingredient list seemed ok as well so I really don’t know what has caused the reaction. I was not testing anything else in terms of skin care that would interact with this particular mask.
The sheet is very thick cotton that is very stiff. It has several cuts in it to assist with the fit of the mask. Unfortunately this particular material doesn’t hold liquid well and all of the essence had drooped down and after 10 minutes my forehead was dry and chin was still drooping with essence. In terms of the scent, it was green and slightly floral. Something in it didn’t agree with my nose much. I was constantly sensing that one odd green note. There were no noticeable results on my skin. The essence was absorbed fast and left very little residue that was not sticky to the touch.
Will I ever buy it again? NO!!! Would I recommend it for anyone? Also NO!!!
