I've always found wash-off masks a hassle and never felt the need for them, but this time I just couldn't take it anymore. After scouring Hwahae, I stumbled upon this little gem! It was my first time trying both Bonajour and a wash-off mask, and I'm thoroughly impressed★ 1. Ingredients: Given that it's a cleansing product that sits on the skin for a while before being washed off, I was naturally concerned about the ingredients. But they passed with flying colors! What's more, it contains ingredients that work well for my skin, which made me even happier. Although I was slightly worried about the Houttuynia Cordata extract since it doesn't always agree with my skin 100%, it turned out to be no problem at all. 2. No Dryness: Most reviews I've read for other wash-off masks insist on applying skincare products after cleansing, but as someone with extremely oily skin in summer, I didn't feel any tightness even without applying anything afterward. As the product description states, it's not designed to absorb sebum but to provide hydration, so I actually felt moisturized after washing it off. 3. Smooth Skin: There's a noticeable difference when I apply my skincare products in the morning after using this mask at night - they absorb so much better. I especially noticed improved absorption with hyaluronic acid products, which typically take longer to sink in.
ConsWhile I'm satisfied enough to have finished one tube and purchased two more, there are a few downsides: 1. Doesn't Alleviate Blemishes: Despite containing mugwort, which usually works well for me, I didn't notice any effect on reducing blemishes. At least it didn't make them worse, which is a relief. 2. Minimal Blackhead Removal: I didn't feel like my pores shrunk or that there was a significant reduction in blackheads. However, it did give me a sense of purifying my skin from excess sebum! 3. Price: While I understand that using quality ingredients means they can't set the price too low, as a consumer, we can't ignore the cost factor. I bought mine during a Hwahae sale for 9,900 won, which I thought was quite reasonable. If you're planning to buy, keep an eye on Hwahae Shopping! 4. Quantity: There's just too little product! The 6-month shelf life isn't short by any means. Even though it's not a daily-use product, you need to use quite a bit each time, so it runs out quickly. To apply a thick layer on your face, you need to squeeze out a lot, so it depletes faster than you might expect.
TipBeing impatient, I can't just sit still with a mask on my face. I apply the mask as the first step when I shower. Then I wash my hair and body, and rinse off the mask last. (Though the mask inevitably gets partially washed off while I'm cleaning other areas.) Since it contains exfoliating particles, those with particularly thin or sensitive skin should be careful. Also, it has a noticeable mugwort scent, so be aware if you're sensitive to that smell.
