JiiNJU Egg White Sheet Mask is one of the decent masks from the JiiNJU range. I did like testing it out but I would not boy it again for the second time as there are more effective egg whites based masks on the market.
Claims from the manufacturer:
JiinJu cotton fibre sheet masks are ultra soft and light, and adhere to the skin to help prevent the skin-loving formula from evaporating and to ensure deeper absorption and penetration into the skin.
Firming Egg White – get skin glowing. K-beauty experts say egg whites are the key to good pores.
Albumen helps to extract sebum, makes the skin feel tighter and helps form the skin. Botanical extracts are a natural relaxation station for the skin.
Directions from the manufacturer:
After toning the face apply sheet mask for 15-20 minutes. After removal tap the leftover essence and let your face air dry.

My experience:
I was testing the JiiNJU Egg White Sheet Mask on a day when my skin was in a perfect condition and was feeling rather normal. Usually I am struggling with a lot of oiliness but sometimes there are days when oiliness is not a concern for me. The mask comes in a very girly cute packaging with a little chick on the front. Sheet of the mask is made of flexible cotton that hugs the face in the right places and adheres very well onto my skin. I’d attribute the great adherence to the creamy essence rather than the sheet itself. If you like creamy type of essences then this mask is definitely up your alley.
There is no obvious strong scent to the essence. It is very faint and I would not be able to classify it as floral or green or musky e.t.c. It is just a little bit sweet and disappears into the thin air minutes after the mask is applied. Thanks to the essence this mask wearing time is a bit more than stated on the pack. After 20 minutes it is still very damp. I removed it after exactly 20 minutes and was left with plenty of essence on my face. I did notice that some spots on my skin had more essence than other and after inspecting the mask same thing is observed. It almost never happens to me so I am still curious why.
Once I’ve tapped the essence into my skin and let it sot for 10 minutes it was dried completely leaving my face feeling firm. It is definitely not the normal tight feeling what you get after using more harsh cleansers. Instead, my skin felt hydrated and bouncy creating that veil of tactile firmness. The pores around my nose did seem a lit less obvious as well. The most unfortunate thing that happened afterwards was that my daily moisturizer (WHAMISA Organic Flowers Lotion Original ) was pilling as hell. I basically could roll pieces of the JiiNJU Egg White Sheet Mask off much like in case of the peeling gels. I did end up washing my face and using my moisturizer again. My skin felt hydrated all day though which was great!
