It is the most awesome occlusive. I'm still trying to figure out how to articulate how I feel about it, but I've been using it every night this week and had to stop in to pay homage.
I use it after applying Paula's Choice 2% BHA Gel. I feel like this mask helps lock in hydration while also acting as an occlusive to lock in the Salicylic Acid of the Paula's Choice. I really love the combination!
How annoying that they made the jar smaller though. OG buyers keep an eye out for that.
