I don't know what magic they put in these things but my skin absolutely loves them. Soothing, hydrating, healing - these do it all. There's a reason they're one of the most popular products in Korea.

Also don't forget to squeeze all the product out of the mask! I usually replace some of my toner and serum steps with this when I use it, and I save the product that's left in the pouch and do the same with that product the following evening.

If you decide you like them and want to keep using them, Olive Young usually has the best price for them.
