My experience:

This mask is rich in antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients. The smell of lavender is very herbal and strong. I love to use this mask right before getting to bed or after a bath because it is such a nice relaxing experience to me. It is also wonderful at cleaning out my blackheads. After I use it on my face they are nowhere to be seen.

The mask comes in black-and-white packaging and has very customer-friendly rip-off line and descriptions in English. Woohoo, I love That I can actually read what it does to me. Once you open the pack the entire room fills up with it’s fragrance. The herbal, beautiful, natural lavender oil. It is not chemical or irritating but it is suuuuper strong. If you don’t like that in a mask, this beauty is not for you. Unless you want to use some nose plugs while having it on.

The serum of this mask is clear liquid that has some glide to it. It is not thick nor thin, but definitely slightly more viscous than water. There is plenty left in the bag to cover my legs in it. Manufacturer advises to keep this mask on for 10-15 minutes. I disagree. It can stay on my face for up to 25 minutes without feeling dry. The cotton sheet of this mask seems to be thicker than what you normally see in sheet maks and holds on to moisture very well.

The fit and adherence of the sheet is great! It has several cut lines for better fit around the cheeks and chin. The eye area has those little flaps that you could use on the eyelids if you close your eyes. (I personally never did it as I am simply terrified of falling asleep like that and waking up with the mask that is glued to your face). Size of the sheet is larger than average so it would fit anyone for sure.

Once the mask touches my face I immediately notice that my skin starts to cool off. No matter whether it is cold or hot outside, the feeling is always the same. After the mask is removed off my face first thing I see is a very soft and smooth skin surface.  It is also more even in terms of skin tone. The essence from this mask is totally absorbed within couple of minutes leaving no noticeable residue on the skin. This mask is a definite must-have for me and I will be buying more once my stash runs out.
