ekel Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask [Red Ginseng]

The price is affordable and it provides instant hydration without any trouble. While this product doesn't have any particularly outstanding features compared to others, as it is a lesser-known face mask, there may be some concerns about potential issues or poor ingredients. However, I personally did not experience any problems while using it. The effects were similar to other mid-range face masks that are sold as 'buy one get one free' for around 10,000 won. I enjoyed using it in the evenings to relax, and the price point made it a hassle-free purchase, so I gave it a 4-star rating.

The sheet material seems to be made of cotton, not anything particularly luxurious. It has a ginseng scent that may be divisive and not everyone's preference.

The skin feels moisturized and supple when used. There is a generous amount of essence, so it's sufficient to apply it all over. And once fully absorbed, there is no stickiness or slipperiness. After using a sheet mask, there are often many products that get pushed out when applying basic skincare, but this one doesn't have that issue, so it's fine to use in the morning as well. And since it's an unfamiliar brand, I looked it up and found that it can be purchased for around 200 won per item, which is very affordable. The price is not burdensome for a daily pack.

The deep moisturization wasn't quite there. After removing the pack, I felt a slight dryness. And the ginseng scent might be divisive - I'm closer to disliking it... It also takes some time to absorb, and is sticky in the meantime. And parabens are now a trend that domestic cosmetics are moving away from, but this one contains parabens. Lastly, on a personal note, the sheet didn't quite fit me, so it was a bit uncomfortable.
