this is one of several variants that my husband bought for me on his trip to sapporo. he grabbed this mask along with vitamin essence and rose and i think the soybean one. i've used the vitamin one and it's okay, but nothing extraordinary, so let's see about this one.
description from their website: a face mask containing 1,2% kinmokusei extract appeared! it prevents rough skin, firmly tightens your skin. suitable for dry and greasy skin. since vitamin e and collagen is also blended, it gives you tension to the tanned skin. as the sheet covers the skin, it penetrates deeper and leads to the activation of the original function of the skin.
the added key ingredients are the same as the vitamin essence one, like vitamin e, collagen, hyaluronic acid and arbutin. which is weird. why would they bother to give different flavours if it has similar or even exact ingredient?
the packaging: it comes in similar designs, white sachet with the main ingredient pictured at the front. in this case, it's strawberry. at the back, there's descriptions but everything is in japanese.
the scent: reading strawberry as the main ingredient will definitely make you think that it will smell like strawberry. well, it has a hint of strawberry scent. but not as clear as my TBS strawberry body butter. in fact, it's very faint. which is slightly disappointing for me.
the product: the material of the mask is the same as the vitamin one, a slightly thick cotton but very flexible. the fit is similar as the vitamin one. it has slit on the nose which is useless to me, and weird bottom eye flaps which is also useless. the forehead is okay, the cheek is okay too and it has slits. the chin is bigger and it doesn't have slit so sometimes the essence could drip down from the chin part. the essence is clear and generous, a bit dripping at first but not super annoying that i have to lay down the whole time.
the result: the moment i put it on i can feel the cooling sensation on my face. it adheres well but when it starts to dry up, the edges loosen up easily, especially the chin part. it will hanging down on your chin. i use it for about 40 minutes and the center will still a bit moist but the edges are dry. afterward no sticky residue and all the essence will completely absorbed in about 5 minutes. definitely moisturize and slightly brighten, but the effect is temporary.
again, this is a decent sheet mask for boosting moisture and slightly brighten your face. it's a nice to have one of these in your stash. another plus is it's cheap. so grab one, grab a bunch, it won't hurt your wallet.
