when i was testing and using several wash off masks, i notice that some of them feel similar. and i take a look at the description and some of the serve the same function so i decided to try them together, side by side.
claims from body shop: minimize pores, reduce imperfections, smooth skin. works to brighten, even and revitalize skin while removing dullness and unevenness.

ingredients: Water/Aqua/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Kaolin, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Pumice, Polysorbate-60, PEG-100 Stearate, Diamond Powder, Vaccinium Arboreum Extract, Bentonite, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Menthyl Lactate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Diazolidinyl Urea, Xanthan Gum, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polyurethane 33, Tetrasodium EDTA , Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Propylene Glycol, Water/Aqua/Eau, Musa Sapientum (Banana) Fruit Extract, Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Maranta Arundinacea Root Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Extract, Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract, Nasturtium Officinale Extract, Aleurites Moluccana Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), Mannitol, Cellulose, Talc, Polybutylene Terephthalate, Aluminum Powder, Acrylates Copolymer, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Ethylene/VA Copolymer, Benzyl Benzoate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Ultramarines (CI 77007).
as you can see above, they share some ingredients, including the oil-absorbing ingredient, kaolin. i don't know if body shop write their ingredients according to the percentage in the product. but if they did, then it's disappointing since both ginseng and rice, which is the main stars are listed down below. while diamond powder, which is the main star from the freeman's mask is listed quite on top of the ingredient. and it's surprising that freeman has more extract than body shop, especially considering that body shop is marketed as cruelty free and even vegan.
both are exfoliating/ polishing mask, that's why both contain grits. the diamond grits is way smaller, sand-like on my touch, while the rice one is coarser. after putting it on my face, the rice one is definitely more burning hot than the diamond. the diamond heat is nothing compared to the rice one. so perhaps if you have sensitive skin, you might want to opt for the diamond one. both washes off easily. both give the same brightening effect, but sometimes i think the rice one is slightly more brightening. both give smooth skin, and again, i might be bias but i think the diamond one is smoother. since the rice one is clay-based, therefore it helps getting rid of sebum. the rice one gives slightly more moisturizing feeling.
so, result wise, both are great polishing/exfoliating mask. so if you're on tight budget, then grab freeman since the body shop is more expensive. if you have sensitive skin, grab freeman. if you don't care, then try both since both are great.
