My experience:
First of all all the not so pleasant thing about researching this particular mask. There is tons of conflicting ingredients information online! Out of 4 websites I checked all 4 had different ingredient list. So for sake of talking if the contents of the mask I copied the ingredient list straight from the packaging I had. It was very nicely formulated and I was happy to start using it on my face.
The sheet of this mask has a plastic perforated protection film over it. It comes in handy for the first-time users and ensures faster and easier application. There is a lot of essence left over in the sachet which is always a nice thing to use for the chest and neck areas. The essence of this sheet mask is transparant, thick and has almost gelatinous consistency. It has very little to no smell to it. Such a pleasant surprise for those with sensitive noses!
This mask has an amazing ingredient list and is very affordable. I left the mask on for 25 minutes and loved every single one of them. The BELBORN 5 minutes mask turned out to be wonderful at hydrating and calming my skin. Overall a great every day mask that is truly suitable for all the skin types. Unfortunately it is not easy to buy in EU. I will hunt some more and will definitely buy it again! Definitely try this one out when you get the chance to do so.
