On my birthday last year, my sister generously gave me various mask, some are body shop and some are innisfree. i have to admit that i did put a wish list consisting all those masks, but i thought she was going to give me one or two from the wish list, not almost all of them! unfortunately, the innisfree one is getting mixed up. i asked for wash off mask and she bought some sleeping pack instead. oh well, since this is a gift, might as well use them all up!
this is the description from their global website: a massage pack that uses rice for clear and translucent looking skin. a capsule recipe containing rice to brighten your skin. brighten and nourish your skin using rice ingredients. enriched sizzling formation provided skin solutions. a night pack that you apply and allow to absorb overnight.

the packaging: just like the rest pack in this capsule recipe series, all mask comes in a tiny plastic tub container. the cover is color coordinated according to their type, rice is ivory. although there's some korean text on the cover, thankfully they printed the type of mask (sleeping or wash off) in english. when you lift the cover, you can find a silver sealing to keep the product fresh. now that is the difference between the old version and the new version. in the old version, the cover also acts as the sealing, and you can only slip it through a small slit and it's not air-tight. the new version, the cover is a lid that you can put back on the tub and it's pretty secure. at the back, there's a label with instructions and ingredients list in english.

the scent: okay, i have to admit that i've been used to numerous scentless japanese products so this one seems to be a bit fragrant for my taste. and it also smells floral, which is weird is rice is the main ingredients. but if you look closely at the ingredients list, you will find orchid extract in it so i think that's the one responsible for the floral fragrance. i'm not saying that this is too fragrant, but since i'm not used to scented products lately, this one seems a bit too much for me. but don't worry, it dissipates quite quickly.

the product: the sleeping pack is pure white cream, with smooth porridge like appearance. it spreads easily on my face and absorbed easily too. again i found that the sleeping pack consistency is runnier than goodal sleeping pack or my usual sana night cream.

the result: once absorbed, the sleeping pack doesn't leave sticky feeling. since my usual night cream is heavier, this one seems lighter, not appropriate to be labelled as sleeping pack in my book. but it does moisturize my skin just as well as my night cream. unfortunately, this one seems to break me out. i get new pimple the next day after using this sleeping pack. i've been eliminating other product and this seems the one that causing the breakout. when i found out that there's orchid extract in the sleeping pack, i think that's the culprit since i also get breakout from their orchid line. there are two other ingredients that are marked as potential acne triggers by cosdna but both are also found in my other products and it doesn't break me out, so you might want to proceed with caution if you have sensitivity toward certain ingredients.

definitely won't repurchase this one since i'm not able to finish even one pack! it breaks me out badly. not in terms of the amount of pimples, but the pimple that pops out is hard and not easy to banish as well. so i throw it away after trying for about 4 times and always get pimples every single time. i can only say that this is moisturizing but not too heavy so those who have normal to combination even oily skin might enjoy this. but dry skin gals might not like it since it doesn't seem to have the occlusive property that most sleeping pack has. i can't say anything about the brightening effect since i don't use it frequently enough. from price point, it's quite affordable and it comes in tiny capsule so it will work well for people like me, that want to try various sleeping pack but isn't able to finish full size sleeping pack.
