AXIS-Y 61% mugwort green vital energy complex sheet mask

this is the description from their website: 61% mugwort green vital energy complex sheet mask - revitalizes and moisturizes. this sheet mask is made with plant-based cellulose fiber enriched with 61% of mugwort extract. the texture delivers a rich moisture feeling without the heaviness and helps the skin control sebum production and reverse skin damage. we are a brand that firmly believes that the best products are made by listening to our community. we conducted a survey on our website to ask over 500 participants what they envisioned for AXIS-Y. the majority of participants requested that we develop a sheet mask and a mugwort-based line. as the summer months approached, we wanted to focus our attention on creating a refreshing 'detox green juice'- inspired sheet mask that addresses inner, mental health, outer, skin health, and environmental health. with this mission, we were able to develop an amazingly rich, luxurious formula of 15 extracts and 61% mugwort all coming together in the form of a plant-based fiber sheet.

the packaging: it comes with dark green box with all the star ingredients written at front. the design is somewhat different from the rest of the other products. at the back of the box you can see the description and ingredients list in english and korean. the individual packaging comes in similar design as the box, only the color is a bit gradient for the individual packaging. a box contains 5 individual masks. again at the back of the individual packaging you see the exact description and ingredients list both in english and korean as well. 

the scent: it smells like medicated balm. the scent is stronger when it's freshly opened. but once you put it on your face, the scent dissipates quickly and you can barely smell it after 5 minutes or so. for me, i don't mind the scent.

the product: the mask definitely feels like a cellulose mask. honestly i forgot what it was made for when i ripped the package but when i touched it, i can guess that it was made of cellulose and i was right. the mask is thin and flimsy without any backing, so you have to be careful when you unfolded it. it feels cool on my face when i first put it on my face. the fit is okay for me. it's a bit wider on my temple but the forehead size is just right for me. the nose flap doesn't cover my whole nose as usual, and it has this weird inner eye slit that i don't like. it has some slits on the jaw part so you can adjust the mask easily. the essence is transparent greenish gel type essence and it's quite generous, though i feel the essence kind of drips down to my jaw so it drags the mask for the first few minutes since i wasn't lying down when i used it. there's some excess in the pouch so i transfer it to a clean container. i've tried using it with foreo ufo as well. even though i can glide the ufo easily on this mask, i don't like using ufo with this mask. the mask is thin and flimsy so when i glide the ufo on it, somehow it drags the mask until the mask moves and even folded. i had to readjust the mask afterward. maybe i'll try using the ufo with the excess essence only. 

the result: i put it on for about 30 minutes and the mask was still damp. after i took it off, i can see my skin is well hydrated and moisturized as well. my angry acnes are soothed as well. though the redness wasn't vanished completely, but it was less than before. combined with ufo, the acne shrinks in size the next morning. with regular use, i guess it will help lessen the inflammation. as for the brightening, i can see my face look fresher. 

i think this is a good option to keep for summer time (or here in Indonesia, all year long). it's nice to feel cooling sensation after a long, hot and humid day. it's soothing, hydrating and moisturizing. i like how it helps soothe my angry acnes as well. i think it is suitable for all skin type.
