though i love my sana retinol cream, somehow i'm relieved that i'm reaching the bottom. and it also means that it's time to find something else. i've been wanted to try naruko sleeping mask or beauty of joseon one, but since i was going to go to singapore, naruko is a better choice. so i got the famous night gelly hoping that it would work for me.
this is the description from their canada website: raw job's tears supercritical CO2 pore minimizing and brightening night gelly contains high concentration of active ingredients. the pore minimizing and brightening night gelly refines the appearance of visible pores and even the skin tone.
benefits: improves the hydrating level of the skin while sleeping and minimizes pores. creates a fair smooth and flawless skin.

the packaging: since i bought this in watsons, it doesn't come in any packaging, just the tub itself. they put plastic sealing all over the outer tub so you can be sure that it's secure enough. the tub is a red plastic tub with ingredients list at the bottom. the packaging is quite plain. there's a plastic separator inside to keep all the gel secure in the tub, but there's no spatula. and since the texture is quite sticky, i think spatula would be a good idea to add to the packaging.

the scent: it's scentless, but since it's scentless, sometimes i think it smells unpleasant. it makes me appreciate huxley's scent more. but if you have sensitive skin or nose, then this is a good product for you.

the product: it's a cloudy white toward greyish jelly. yes, it's like a semi-liquid jelly in texture. it's sticky and bouncy just like jelly. if you use your finger, you might have difficulty scooping the product. so again, a spatula would be nice. the texture is one of a kind. i never had other product like this. it does spread easily onto my face. but @memore.glow from instagram said that she experienced pilling. she said that she had suggestion to put a thin layer and she admitted to use quite thick layer. me, myself, only experienced it once, and i didn't even use thick layer. so definitely be careful in layering this mask.

the result: i have to admit i'm a little bit disappointed. i have good and visible result from the essence, so i have high hope about this one, but this only moisturize my skin. i don't see any changes in my pores. i also doesn't notice the brightening effect. if i have to compare it to my previous sana retinol, it doesn't make any changes at all.

so, you can definitely say that i won't repurchase this one. i like my retinol cream better as i can slap as much as i want without worry about pilling. and although both are not easy to find, the retinol is cheaper than the sleeping mask, so obviously i will purchase the retinol one when i could get one. but if you're die hard of naruko and you like sleeping mask, you should try it. i like it better than my previous sleeping mask and i can use it everyday without pore clogging problem. i think it can cater all skin types. have you tried it? if you have, let me know what's your thinking about this product.
