I've been a nomad searching for a soothing mask since I couldn't feel any calming effects from that famous Medi-something tea tree pack, but this one is worth every penny! The sheet: - It's soft and thin, adhering well to the skin, giving a sensation that it'll be effective. - When I first opened it, I thought it might be small, but surprisingly it's wide and large enough to cover my whole face. - I like masks that cover down to the end of my chin, and while this one does cover the chin, it doesn't quite reach the area just below. The essence in the mask: - It's watery, and when I first opened it, there was a black pepper scent, but the mask itself doesn't smell bad. - There's plenty of essence, so after applying the mask, you can pat the excess on top to keep it moist until you remove it. The Step 2 Ampoule (Calamine): This is where the magic really happens! I thought there might not be enough calamine, but I was wrong... I applied it all over my face and put a thicker layer on areas that needed more soothing. I was planning to write this review after seeing the results, but the effects were so quick I had to share! It seriously calms your skin within an hour. Honestly, the Step 2 ampoule doesn't smell great, but I can confidently say it's worth enduring for the results. Those of you worried about blemishes know the feeling - you'd do anything to make them go away! I can definitely put up with the smell for these results. I really wish I had taken before photos because all the redness that was about to surface completely subsided. Even existing blemishes went down. There's plenty of product to apply generously. If you've never seen results from soothing masks before, give this one a try! Oh, and just to note, the Step 2 ampoule has a creamy, viscous texture.
ConsThere aren't many downsides, but here are a few things to note: First, it seems like the ingredient list on Hwahae only shows the mask ingredients. I read the ingredients for Step 1 and Step 2 on the back of the package, and the Step 2 ampoule contains fragrance. It feels like they might have added it to cover up an originally stronger fishy smell. When you first apply the ampoule, you don't immediately smell the fishiness. Instead, there's a cool scent like men's skincare, but as it absorbs, a fishy smell lingers. Maybe it's the... afterscent? To be honest, I didn't take off a star because of the ingredients. I deducted it because of the mask itself. I feel like the effects come more from the ampoule than the sheet mask. It's almost like paying 3,500 won just for the ampoule. Also, after applying the ampoule, your hair sticks to your face... it's quite tacky. Be cautious if you don't like that feeling!
TipThere's enough ampoule that you could probably use it the next day too, but I worry it might not be as good once it's been exposed to air. So instead, I apply a thin layer all over my face, then put a thicker layer on problem areas. It calms down right away!

It's super thin, allowing for excellent adherence to the face. ✓ Beneficial effects 1. Cooling sensation After removing the mask, I noticed a pleasant cooling effect that helped reduce facial heat. 2. Soothing properties Even with just one use, I could see both cooling and calming effects. Post-application, there was a visible reduction in redness. ✓ Generous amount of serum I expected a runny consistency, but it was more cream-like. The ample amount of serum allowed for a thick application all over the face. + Post-use, my skin felt firm with a sensation of being deeply hydrated - this was my favorite part!
ConsAbout 30 minutes after applying the serum, when I touched my face, I noticed the serum and cream were balling up, almost like dead skin cells. It seems the pilling occurred due to mixing with powder and other skincare products. While the description mentioned a powdery feel might be noticeable, experiencing it was quite surprising.
TipBefore applying the serum after removing the mask, gently pat it in with your middle and ring fingers for irritation-free absorption. To minimize pilling, try to avoid your face touching other surfaces until it's fully absorbed. I'd recommend using this at night before bed rather than as a light morning treatment.
