Fit & Texture
The fit of this mask isn't very good. The mask is made of cotton, which is apparently hypoallergenic, non-irritating and holds a good amount of serum. The serum was actually dripping the entire time I was wearing this, but the mask itself is so soaked in serum that it wasn't really a problem. That said, there's 23g of mask in this sheet, which is fairly standard.
Ingredients
Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat, niacinamide, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phytosqualane, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, Phaseolus Radiatus Extract, Etula Platyphylla Japonica Bark Extract, Rumex Crispus Root Extract, Adenosine, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Dimethicone, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance
Running the ingredients through cosdna shows the Alcohol Denat as a possible irritant (5). It also contains Butylene Glycol. Other potential irritants are xanthan gum and fragrance. I know some people's skin react badly to niacinamide, so be careful with that.
Performance
This is an intensive hydrating solution, hyaluronic mask is a dual function, brightening and anti-wrinkled treatment that penetrates deep into dry, flaky skin plumping up rich moisture while building a hydro-coating barrier to keep skin's moisture balance.
The mask tingled while I was having it on, but there was no redness and it wasn't really too uncomfortable. Sort of like having a tea tree mask on even thogh there's really no tea tree in the ingredient list. Despite the mild tingling, I kept this on for about 20 minutes before removing it. Even though I wasn't a fan of the fit, it was actually fairly comfortable to have on, which came as a surprise for me. The eyeholes were a little too small, but that just meant the area around my eyes got plenty of moisture too, which is a good thing.
It left my face with a sticky finish. It wasn't particularly brightening, but was very moisturizing. My skin wasn't too dry to begin with, but the area around my nose has gotten quite flaky and irritated from having the flu and blowing my nose for more than a week and this mask really helped calmed the irritation there. I'm fairly pleased with the effect of the mask overall despite the sticky finish!
