when you buy a foreo device, there's a bonus mask inside the set. i got the make my day one as bonus. anyway, if you already had foreo device since it was launched, the mask selections are not as widely as they are now, and i remember they only had two presets, one for in the morning (this one, the make my day one) and the night one (call it a night one). the other settings would be recorded in your foreo device when you bought them and scanned them before using. but now, since foreo 2 was launched and they renewed their apps, you don't have to scan the barcode anymore and they have installed all the masks setting in your apps. hurray for the upgrade! okay, it's been awhile since i tried this one, so now that i've bought the whole box, let's try it again.
this is the description from their website: anti-pollution and hydrating facial treatment. this luxurious red algae and hyaluronic acid face masks is just what your skin needs to start the day. until now, masking in the morning just wasn't feasible. but this 90-second UFO facial treatment leaves skin looking and feeling hydrated, protected and ready for anything!
key ingredients:
- hyaluronic acid: with the ability to hold up to 1000x its weight in moisture, this hydrating powerhouse will leave you with radiant, glowing skin.
- red algae: rich in antioxidants, red algae protects the skin from environmental pollutants to keep skin looking healthy.
formulated without: parabens, phenoxyethanol, silicones, disodium EDTA, mineral oil.
the packaging: they don't sell this individually, so you have to buy a box of 7 masks. the box is light blue and the design for the box is the same as the individual packaging. there's description at the back in various languages as well as the ingredients list in english.

the scent: this smells like wet tissue? a bit fragrant, but not too much. when i glide my foreo all over my face, i can still smell it when the device is near my nose but it's not overwhelming. if you can't stand fragrance in your skincare or you're sensitive to fragrance, then you might want to avoid it.

the product: the mask is the usual soft cotton type mask. it's soft and the size is just right for foreo. the essence is transparent thick gel type essence that's enough for three cycles. if you didn't have foreo, the device is programmed to run for 90 seconds but you can repeat the cycle. for me, i'd like to run it three times before disposing the mask. you have to put enough essence on the mask or it would dragged your skin. if you're wondering about the program, the preset program for this mask is red light LED twice and green light at the end. they only use warm setting for this mask. no cooling effect in this program.

the result: since the essence is quite generous, my face would still be wet after finishing three cycles. but after massaging it, the essence would be absorbed and it gives slightly tacky feeling, but not super annoying. i can still put other serums and creams on top of it. my skin is glowing after i use this mask, even until the next morning. it totally adds hydration to my skin, but i'm not sure about the anti pollution though.
this is a simple mask that i think would be suitable for all skin types. i think i'll use this mask more frequently after this since i've been trying retinol products in marathon. my skin need the extra hydration. plus being indoor all the time due to pandemic takes a toll on my skin thanks to air con being on most of the time. anyway, if you don't have any idea on which one to start first, then try this one. it's super simple, and i think hydration is quite basic and most people need it, so give it a try if you got a foreo device. this one can be used by all foreo devices (mini and regular one, foreo 1 and 2).
