First off, I absolutely love using face masks and do so very frequently! Especially these days when we're wearing masks for long periods, skin soothing is essential. I try to use a face mask at least every other day. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, so I can't just use any skincare product. I already have a stockpile of masks, but I was lucky enough to win this one to try out! 👍 Texture I'm not a fan of masks with super thin sheets, but this one has a nice, substantial thickness! Because of that, it seems to hold more essence too. The formula isn't too thick, so while it might draw out moisture if left on too long, it's perfect for a quick session. If you prefer water-based essences over sticky ones, you'll probably enjoy this. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling and feels refreshing! It's definitely higher quality than your average budget mask. 👍 Scent I loved it! I'm quite sensitive to scents and don't particularly like fragranced skincare products. I much prefer unscented options. No matter how good a mask is, if it has a strong scent, it's hard for me to use since it stays on my face. This mask definitely doesn't have an irritating fragrance, which I appreciated! 👍 Cooling effect The moment I put it on, I felt my skin temperature drop. It was like I'd just taken it out of the fridge! 👍 Packaging The packaging is so pretty! It's so well-designed you might not even realize it's a face mask at first glance. The sheet wrapper tears easily like paper, even though it's actually plastic. It's probably one of the best mask designs I've seen.
Cons👎 Soothing effect It's supposed to be excellent for soothing, but... I'm not so sure. They say your makeup applies better the day after using it, but I didn't see any dramatic effects. Even right after removing the mask, I couldn't really see any difference. I tend to get small bumps on my skin, and if anything, they seemed to become more red and itchy. The ingredients list looks good, but there must be something in there that doesn't agree with my skin. 👎 Price... 50,000 won for 10 sheets... can I really justify buying this? As someone who uses a mask every other day, this price point is too burdensome. I don't use the cheapest masks out there, but there are plenty of great options in the 2,000-3,000 won range. The mask I currently use for soothing seems to work better for me. I'm not sure I see a reason to switch to this one. Of course, everyone's skin is different! I think I might have had too high expectations after reading all the positive reviews online.
TipI think it's better to use this mask during your skincare routine before applying makeup, rather than in the evening. A thicker formula might be more suitable for nighttime use. My mask routine involves leaving the mask on for about 10 minutes, then patting in any remaining essence after removing it. I then wipe my face with a toner-soaked cotton pad before finishing with a moisturizer. I found my skin felt dry after just absorbing the mask essence, so a moisture-locking cream is essential! You've supplied the hydration, now you need to seal it in.

In summer, it leans more towards oily. My basic skincare routine: Toner (The Lab by Blanc Doux) + Ampoule (Under Six) + Cream (Atobarrier 365) I'm posting this review after using the product for only two days due to my skin condition. Positives: #Ingredients I prioritize ingredients in products that touch my face, which is why I applied for The Hwahae Testers after checking the full ingredient list! The main ingredient, fullerene, boasts 172 times more antioxidant power than vitamin C and claims to reduce dark spots and blemishes. The EWG ratings also confirm the safety of the ingredients. It contains components like Provence rose water, panthenol, hydrolyzed collagen, centella asiatica extract, chamomile extract, and meadowsweet extract, which offer various benefits including skin soothing, sebum control, impurity removal, and strengthening the skin barrier. #Adherence I appreciated that the eucalyptus-derived high-adherence sheet is safe for sensitive skin. The thin sheet adheres well to the face, allowing for even distribution of the essence. #Essence The essence has a consistency between water and a hydrating ampoule, and there's a generous amount. I applied the remaining essence over the sheet mask after fitting it to my face. #Packaging The packaging design is luxurious and eye-catching, reminiscent of sci-fi movies like Harry Potter. The matte paper texture, which isn't slippery, adds to its premium feel.
Cons#Scent The alcohol-like scent that irritates the nose wasn't to my liking. I think an unscented version would be better. #Blemishes On the first day, I was very satisfied right after using the mask. It definitely provides hydration and had some soothing effects. However, the next morning, I woke up with many red, acne-like bumps. This mask was the only change in my routine. Areas that were previously calmed became red and inflamed. As you can see in the photos, my skin condition was much better before using the product. The area around my nose became red, with many acne-like bumps appearing, and my skin felt rough to the touch. #Price While I was able to try it for free as a Hwahae Tester, the original price is 5000 won. I wouldn't purchase it with my own money, as there are many better and more affordable masks available. #Sensitivity For those with sensitive skin, I recommend patch testing on your arm or back of your hand before use. While it may provide instant soothing and hydration, these effects might not last long. And like me, you could experience skin irritation!!!
TipBased on my experience, I'd recommend using this for soothing and hydrating after sun exposure in summer.

Definitely sensitive. I had seborrheic dermatitis a few years ago, but it's better now. If it flares up slightly, applying steroid ointment calms it down immediately. The seborrheic dermatitis is gone, but contact dermatitis has taken its place. So while I'm not sure which ingredients trigger it, I get allergic reactions when products don't suit me. Recently, my skin has deteriorated rapidly... I'm not sure why. I was hoping this mask would help soothe my skin. At first, I thought the package was so big that the mask sheet must be huge too, but that wasn't the case. Instead, the nose flap was longer than other brands, which was great as it covered everything. The sheet looked cheap at first glance, but once I put it on my face, I loved how it adhered so well and felt so soft - like it was part of my skin. The scent is very subtle, but it's a gentle fragrance that puts me at ease! This might vary depending on personal preference though. And really... the essence, or whatever you call it, was so abundant. Enough for a full-body massage maybe? Anyway, I personally don't know how to make good use of the leftover essence, so I wish there was less of it. As long as no serious issues arise, I plan to continue using it for about a week!
ConsUsed it before bed on the day I received the product. Stopped immediately after seeing the condition the next day. Day 1 - Not sure if it's due to my poor skin condition, but my face stung as soon as I put the mask on. It even felt like my lips were going numb. I'm not sure which ingredient caused the problem. After finishing the mask, it didn't feel fresh and lightly absorbed for a moisturized effect. Instead, it felt sticky and more oily. To test the product's effectiveness, I deliberately didn't apply anything else, just removed the sheet and let it absorb overnight. Day 2 - I was going to use the mask again. But when I checked my face after waking up... it was a disaster. I said I'd use it for a week if no serious problems occurred, but I think I need to stop. First, there's oil in every pore and they're extremely enlarged. What used to be whiteheads have almost all turned into blackheads. I know my pores aren't particularly small to begin with, but usually after a soothing mask, pores don't stretch out like this - this was the opposite. My face was sticky and full of actual oil, not a healthy glow. Some contact dermatitis flared up, and while I have sensitive skin, I don't usually get acne. But something like acne appeared too. So I washed with water, but my whole face is still itchy. There's no hydration, and my skin feels even drier. It's also burning and feels hot. My skin is a mess of redness. Looking at the ingredients list, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but there seem to be too many oil-based ingredients. And those oil ingredients don't seem to be helping retain moisture. My jawline, cheeks, sides of my nose, etc. are a mess with (probably) contact dermatitis. → See the photo! Far from soothing my skin with this mask, I think I need to see a dermatologist. No, I definitely need to see one!!!!!!!!
TipNothing more to add. Seriously, if you have truly sensitive skin, don't buy this thinking it will soothe your skin. You might end up like me.

I'm leaving a review after using this mask for just one day because it didn't suit my skin very well... It's true that there's no fragrance and the adherence is excellent! There was also plenty of essence!! The sheet was really soft too
ConsIf you have super sensitive skin, I'd recommend not using this.... I just took this mask off, and my face turned completely red, so I had to keep washing it with cold water... I thought it would be fine since it's supposed to be soothing, but wow...I was really shocked...
