I have mixed feelings about this product and I think alot of people do too. I usually use this mask whenever my skin barrier is damanged or my skin is feeling dehydrated. This is because it locks in all the moisture and skincare that I apply underneath it, it's easy to apply and love that you're able to sleep with it on too. It's not irritating at all and feels cool on the face. However the Show more
I use once a week for a boost of moisture to my face. Love how it goes on and I can fall asleep with it on. It doesn't irritate my skin and it's always soooo satisfying to peel off in the morning.
