Performance:


This is one of those really unfortunate combinations of good ingredients but bad product.  The sheet mask comes in two pieces, but they're very thin, and to make matters worse, very stiff.  The mesh backing can be felt on both sides, so I couldn't really determine which side was suppose to go on my face.  The cut outs left some pretty rough edges, so much so that the mouth cut out kept stabbing into my lips, which was beyond irritating.


Hydrogels are suppose to be all about fitting like a second skin, and being more hydrating and luxurious than the regular cotton sheet mask.  Unfortunately again, this mask fits terribly on me, and was actually quite dry with not much essence in the pouch either.



Even my trusty Daiso sheet mask cover couldn't salvage this mask.  It kept it from drying up too much, but the mouth area was just awful.

All that complaining aside, it did deliver some nice results.  In the morning, my skin was still soft and bright, but no more impressive than my regular Innisfree cotton masks.

Price:

I bought this and two other Botanic Farm hydrogels from Memebox for $3.50 each, which makes them in the higher end for sheet masks, but around mid-range for hydrogels.

Verdict:

Won't rebuy, won't recommend.  Nice ingredients, but not worth the trouble.  2/5
