Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask [Red Ginseng]

Not Easily Absorbed

Not Moisturizing

Not Sticky

No Caking

Creamy

High Amount of Essence 

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Hydrating

The sheet material feels quite basic - not particularly luxurious, just reminiscent of masks I've used before. The ginseng scent might be hit or miss for some people.

Affordable and provides instant hydration without causing blemishes. While it doesn't have any standout features compared to other masks, it's a lesser-known product that might make you worry about potential skin issues or questionable ingredients. However, I didn't experience any problems while using it. Its effectiveness is similar to other mid-range masks that come in 1+1 deals for around 10,000 won. I gave it 4 stars because it's perfect for a cool, relaxing evening skincare routine and the price point makes it easy to use without hesitation.

It doesn't provide deep hydration. After removing the mask, I felt a slight deep dryness. Also, the ginseng scent might be polarizing - I'm not a fan. It takes a while to absorb, and during that time it feels sticky. Surprisingly, it contains parabens, which many Korean cosmetics are moving away from these days. Lastly, and this is just personal, but the sheet didn't fit my face well, which was a bit uncomfortable.

When you use this mask, your skin feels moisturized and plump. There's plenty of essence, enough to apply generously all over. Once it's fully absorbed, there's no stickiness or pilling. Many products tend to pill when you apply skincare after a sheet mask, but this one doesn't, making it suitable for morning use too. I wasn't familiar with the brand, so I looked it up and found that you can buy these for about $2 each, which is quite affordable. It's not too expensive for a daily mask routine.

1. It's difficult to purchase offline.
Since it's not a well-known product, I've never seen it in offline stores.
I'd like to try it one sheet at a time...😂😂😂

2. The ingredients are not that great.
These days, even products with many caution ingredients only have about one, but this one has three. They're not particularly unsuitable for me, but it's worth checking the ingredients carefully.

1. The amount of essence is just right.
There is a lot of essence absorbed into the mask sheet, and the remaining amount of essence is more than expected!
The amount is enough to apply to your arms, legs, and calves as well.

2. There is no stickiness.
The essence is not a sticky type.
It just absorbs the right amount of moisture, giving a pleasant feeling.
I dislike stickiness, especially in the summer, but I can use this comfortably even in the summer.😁😁😁

3. The price is affordable.
I received 2 sheets from an acquaintance, so I didn't know the price, but after searching on Coupang, I found that they are selling them for around 200 won per sheet.
It seems to be made for export to Japan, as it also has Japanese text on it, and there are many varieties!
The price is cheap, and there are many options, so it seems good to use one sheet per day.

4. The skin is moisturized the next day.
I usually do the mask pack after evening cleansing before bed, and when I wash my face the next day, my skin feels soft and moisturized.😀😀😀
