Love this mask. Feels so luxurious. Took one star off because it can exacerbate oiliness - and the color is a bit off-putting (it’s not quite the shade of blue in their pictures. It’s more a greyish mint green.) That said it’s a near perfect slugging product.
*Extremely disappointed to learn the batch that expires in Feb 2024 is the last one. This and the Cloud sleeping mask have been discontinued.*
