The only mask good for my skin
DISCLAIMER: Every skin is different, explore products carefully, mindfully, and have fun :) | (Skin profile: combination, slightly sensitive, textured, oily T-zone, enlarged pores) | For years I've struggled with top-layer exfoliation because any product I'd use would leave my skin red, irritated, and looking like tight plastic foil. I tried dozens of wet masks, sheet masks, acid peels, with a variety of acids (salicylic, glycolic, you name it - I've tried it), and none worked well. This wet mask is a game-changer. Twice a week, I apply it in the evening, after cleansing, a generous amount I'd say, but not too much, "about half a teaspoon is enough for the face and neck" the packaging says. Usually I leave it on for 7-8 minutes, a bit less than the 10 minutes the packaging puts as the maximum, gently rinse it off with warm water, pat my face dry with a soft towel, and my skin looks just fine. I haven't ever had any redness after using it, my skin wasn't feeling tight, and it even still had a natural glow to it (which hasn't ever happened because other masks would dry my skin out completely). This product deserves way more than just 5 stars.

i just used up my current bottle of this wonderfully lightweight product that only costs about $5.
so i went to buy some more from Sephora or Ulta… and it’s apparently been discontinued. :(
i have no idea why. not only is it wonderfully inexpensive, but it works like a heavier oil (think Argan or Marula) while being lighter, less greasy, and absorbing faster. it’s great for the hair, the body, and even sometimes for the face. the JVN haircare brand incorporates this ingredient in their products for a reason!
there are a few other brands that have Hemi-Squalane for sale on Amazon, and most of them are actually a bit more expensive. so, to put it mildly, i’m really gonna miss the convenience of getting this from Sephora/Ulta for a great price.
