My experience:
I have tried quite few masks containing Centella Asiatica plant extract. To be honest with you, this mask from E Nature is by far my most favorite one. The mask comes in a simple white packaging with green writing on it. Is it attractive? Maybe not, but yet again, what is inside the pack is well worth the purchase.
I have just recently come back from my trip and my skin was so dried out and not happy with the fact that I was so much in the sun. I needed some harsh resurfacing to get rid of the old dead skin cells so I prompted to my old faithful facial peeling kit from Philosophy. After the peel my skin is usually very red and tight so I go for some Chamomile, Lavender or Centella masks because they all help my skin to bounce into it’s normal shape and feel. Plus all of them are kind of anti-ceptic so I don’t break out the next day after my peel.
The sheet mask inside the pack has a plastic protecting layer to make the application easier. Since I am used to thin-sheeted face masks having no plastic layers it was kind of an overkill for me. If you are not a frequent thin sheet masks user, this plastic divider will definitely be helpful in the application process. Cicaherb mask has somewhat herbal scent to it that irritates my nose-buds. to me the scent is pleasant and unpleasant at the same time. Nonetheless, I can live with it.
Once applied, my face felt an immediate relief. There was no tingling or burning anymore and my skin started to cool off. Since the sheet is very saturated I was able to keep this mask on for good 30 minutes. Even then, after the removal, sheet of the mask was still damp. There was zero residue left on my face. My skin felt velvety smooth and had no tackiness to it. Nearly all of the redness has subsided. Very impressive! I was left with irritation free, hydrated, smooth skin. Will definitely try the other masks from the E Nature brand.
For now I am super happy with this one, will definitely buy more of these.
