This mask has been reformulated and it was difficult for me to find the latest list of the ingredients online. I remember that 1st formulation had the active ingredients nearly at the bottom of the list, but now they have moved to the top of the order.

My experience:

I love this mask a lot. First of al it is very affordable for what it does to my skin. Over the time I’ve tried different formulations of it and all of them delivered real results without any hint of irritation, breaking me out or any of the stuff other sheet masks have done to me in the past. If I am in need of emergency  hydration boost, this is the mask I turn to. I always take a least one of these to my vacations.

Packaging of this mask remained the same. It has a recognizable odd shape to it. There is plenty of essence in the sachet. Mask itself is made of thicker type cotton sheet that manages to lock a lot of moisture in it. There ate slits cut on the chin area, 2 on the sides of the masks and 2 in the eye openings so that mask adheres better at the nose-bridge.

Mask has a slight marine/beach smell to it. Scent is not strong and disappears after mask is on my face. The essence is a bit thicker in consistency in comparison to the regular water. Therefore application is mess-free for me. Essence that remains on my skin after removing this mask leaves no residue on my skin.

I can’t brag enough about the results. After I remove the mask, my skin feels calmed down, more firm, cool to the touch, less red, fully hydrated and brighter than it was before masking. In my opinion the manufacturer has outdone itself  with this product. I keep repurchasing it from iHerb for 12-14€ for a 10-pack.
