Well today I am here to review the Etude House Essence Mask Vitamin C. I tried this mask for the first time today.
I couldnt find much English detail on what it claimed to do to help skin. Other than -
"Essence Mask for skin Vitalising with Vitamin C and Lemon Extract"
From this I made my own assumptions from knowing that Vitamin C's benefits on skin are as an antioxidant it helps skin recover from environmental damage i.e the sun and reduce signs of aging. While Lemon Extract is commonly used in whittening products to reduce dark spots (melanin) while being a good cleanser.
The instructions said to leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes, But I left it on for 30 mins since it seemed a waste to take it off while it's barely dried still having more to give. Before I applied the mask i washed my face with my regular cleanser then patted my face dry with a facial towel so my skin wasnt completely dry when i applied the mask. After 30 minutes of wearing the mask i removed it then just rinced off the left over residue with cold water and applied my moisturiser.
Smell: The facemask actually smells quite chemicley to me, I cant pick up any citrus fragrance which I assumed there would be since the mask contains Lemon Extract. :/
Opinion: After using this mask my face felt fresh, smooth and soft to the touch. I noticed my spots (Ive had really bad break outs lately) redness was reduced/lightened however not anywhere near vanishing (of course I didnt expect the one facial mask to cure them). I noticed my face also appeared brighter, which made me happy :).
Verdict: Though the mask had nice effects on my skin, I would not say they were significantly amazing. But general goodness you would expect from using a regular Facemask.
A negative for the mask was when I got some of the sheet fluid in my eye it REALLY hurt >.< and the fact that the effects of the mask did not exactly... blow me away... nothing special but average of what you would expect from a regular facemask but not one I would obsess over.
Recommendation: I would recommend this mask as just a quick 'pick me up' for an occasion like, going out clubbing and wanting fresh skin to feel nice before applying make up... random scenario but one of the only ones I can imagine using this sheet mask thing for anything else since its quick on the go being a sheet mask with effects that I would want fast (feeling fresh and appearing brighter). Would I repurchase this mask again? Yes I would for the examples I have listed and to add to my sheet mask variety for days Im too lazy to make my own home made masks.
To those who read this review I hope you enjoyed it and it was usefull to you in someway.
Thank you for reading :3 its really late here so Goodnight everyone!
