BCL momopuri moisturizing jelly mask

if you read my other posts, you might know that before first lab became popular here with its probiotic ingredients, i've encountered a japan skincare brand that also uses probiotic as one of its star ingredients. but somehow it didn't get popular even in japan. last time i went to japan, i've seen more brand coming up with new lines, new products. i saw brands like freeplus, momopuri, chifure that i haven't seen when i went to japan 2-3 years ago. some of them use probiotic too, and the one that i bought for trying this time is momopuri. i saw momopuri from youtube (i forgot the name of the channel, but i will update it here) and i was fascinated by its peach theme packaging, so momopuri for now. hopefully i could try other brands as well.

this is the description from bcl japan website: skin that bounces with one sheet! contains lactic acid bacteria and peach ceramide. moisturizing high moisturizing jelly mask. plenty of moisturizing, puripuri skincare series. the essence of a jelly-like essence, a lot of one was included in one sheet, rich face mask.
feels like a high-adherence jelly sheet sticks to your skin: a jelly-like sheet mask that sticks to your skin. cover well around the eyes. easy to take out and easy to use.
to a healthy skin every day:
- lactic acid bacteria: formulated with lactic acid bacteria "EC-12" strain, which focuses on skin resident bacteria. it's as if you're applying "lactic acid bacteria" to give your skin and elasticity.
- peach ceramide: a skincare product that is moisturized with peach ceramide, a moisturizing beauty serum ingredient that is particular about domestic production.
- pore tightening: bergamot fruit extract, moisturizing ingredients (vitamin c derivative/ hyaluronic acid / vitamin A/E/ peach leaf extract)

the packaging: i bought a box of 4 masks. both the box and the mask has the same design. it has blue background on the upper part and white background underneath, and at the center there's a dripping peach picture, which is similar to other product's design. there's description at the back but as usual, it comes in japanese.
the packaging
the scent: it has peach scent which i think all the products in this line might have since the toner also has peachy scent as well. for me, it's not bothering me, but if you're sensitive to scent, you might want to think twice. the scent is quite strong especially when it's freshly opened.

the product: the mask is made of mesh-like materials, which reminds me of minon masks. it's drenched in jelly essence. the fit is a bit wide on temples area, closer eye holes and ordinary nose flap. it has no slit but it's adjustable. for me the fit is just okay, though i wish the eye holes were not that close.

the result: i put this on my face for about 20 minutes. after that i can feel that my skin is well hydrated. i notice a bit brightening effect as well, but not much. after that i can put my usual skincare routine without any problem. i don't have any breakouts after using this as well.

i'm a bit on the fence with this mask. i like how it works okay with my skin, but i'm not fan with jelly essence. somehow my previous experience with jelly essence is not good. somehow sometimes the jelly essence will just sit on my face and then pills when i put something else on top of it. though this one doesn't do it, but somehow i still doubtful about it. i think it works okay for every skin types, but if you don't like jelly essence like i do, then don't buy it. i think it's not easy to get outside japan. perhaps you could buy it online, but here i can't find it. price wise, it's still considered affordable for a box of 4 masks. will i repurchase it? probably not. but not because it's not good, but it's just me. i like mask with clear runny essence better.
