I've tried a lot of hydrating/recovery face masks. A LOT. And this one didn't stand out at all.
Yes, it felt nice and silky upon application. And I'm stoked that there is plenty of product to last a long time. But it really didn't do anything special.
I felt moderately moisturised after rinsing it off, but because you wash it off your face you ultimately sill have to apply your usual moisturiser afterwards. With sheet masks, you can pat any excess product into your skin and keep benefiting from it overnight.
The ingredients are outstanding, except for the addition of menthol. Menthol is usually added to give you a tingling sensation, making you think 'ooh this product must be working!' But if you've got sensitive skin, this will be really irritating.
Overall, I'm always thrilled to support NZ made brands, but I won't be repurchasing sadly.
This feels like a really thick moisturiser that doesn't get absorbed (which is fine as it is a mask that you wash off).
It smells lovely and feels silky, and when I washed it off after 20 mins my skin definitely felt softer after only one use.
I usually use chemical exfoliant masks (i.e. glycolic) so it was nice to treat my skin to something moisturising for a change. I'll definitely use this again to treat my skin and it's nice to know it has natural ingredients.
Tips: It does harden a little bit so you'll need a washcloth to rinse it off.
