I purchased this face mask on a whim while buying essential goodies at the supermarket. It was on special for $4 which definitely helped.
I do like the gold on the packaging, typical for the Essano collagen range. The single sachet is nice if you just want to give it a try. I would quite like to be able to buy multi packs for sheet masks instead of single serves.
Right - let's get to the good stuff! The packet was easy to open with clear instructions on the back. The sheet mask itself was an odd shape I found. The eye holes are quite thin but wide to target the under eye area. I found that the forehead space was quite large and I had to fold it so it didn't get all through my hair.
The sheet mask was all in one piece - there were no slits in the sides to be able to fold them neatly to fit your face but I didn't find that a problem as I just folded it myself.
The smell is quite mild and doesn't overpower the senses and it is almost a milky smell. Not unpleasant but not delicious.
There is quite a lot of the collagen serum leftover in the packet when you take the sheet mask out. You could use this as another serum treatment later on or apply the extra serum to the mask on your face to help it soak in. You definitely don't get shortchanged on the serum.
I left the mask on for 20 minutes to get a really good soak. After taking the mask off my skin did feel a bit tacky for about 20 minutes or so. My skin definitely looked brighter, fresher and healthier after using this. I didn't notice much difference in my under eye area but the fine lines on my forehead were less noticeable.
When I woke up in the morning the next day (I used this before bed after cleansing and used no other creams or serums) my skin was still fresh and bright.
It also didn't cause me to break out - win!
My mum picked us each up an essano Collagen Boost biodegradable sheet mask from the supermarket as a treat knowing I’m a daily consumer of collagen powder.
The packaging looks premium and is consistent in design with the rest of the essano product range. It made a special change from the fruity masks I usually purchase.
It was easy to unfold the 100% cotton mask and there was plenty of serum in the packet. It was easy enough to apply the sheet mask to my face although the cut outs weren’t quite perfectly shaped!
I enjoyed relaxing for 20 minutes letting the product absorb before removing it and gently rubbing the excess serum into my face, neck and décolletage.
My skin wasn’t left feeling too sticky, the product smells nice and I looked refreshed. Would definitely repurchase.
