Etude House Air Therapy Camellia Sheet Mask Review

Ingredients:


Water, Glycereth-26, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Xylitol, Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Carbomer, Arginine, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Coptis Japonica Root Extract, Sucrose Palmitate, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil (100 ppm), Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Oil, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Pinus Palustris Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil.

I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...




Thoughts:

Dries quite fast on face, it's not a long pampering session mask (recommended time to keep it on is 10-20 min). I was lost in my thoughts and had it on for 35 min, and it was already dry at that point, especially in the middle

Smells weird, almost like it has gone bad, I feel like I can smell the alcohol, I hesitated putting the mask on (expiry date 2020)

The fit of the mask was uncomfortable, it left a big part of my cheeks uncovered (about 5 cm on both sides), was too long on my forehead, I had to make several folds on cheeks, and mouth and eye holes were so tiny!

- My cheeks were still red after removing the mask, not a negative really considering my face is red usually - but after using Tosowoong masks my redness has usually reduced




After a couple of hours and next morning, my face looked brighter and comfortable, a bit strange it didn't right away after removing the mask like usually

The mask was full of essence when I took it out of the pouch, and still it wasn't dripping or messy, the essence was quite thick, like jelly

Stayed well on my face, I was able to clean the house while waiting

Didn't leave face sticky, all the essence absorbed easily

My face did feel hydrated afterwards, but not very plump

The material of the mask felt nice, it was was more thin woven fabric like compared to the ones I've used before.




* Etude House has many different Air Therapy masks and I bought a few different kinds to test, Calendula, Collagen and Camellia. I have no idea how I made my choice, maybe I wanted only C-letter masks!

Not much extra essence left in the pouch after using the mask, for me it's okay as I generally can't find much use for it other than rub it on my body. I did buy those sheet mask tablets but I don't remember where I put them.

It's actually kind of funny how the mask is called camellia mask, when there is only 100 ppm of camellia japonica seed oil. 100 ppm is only 0,01%!




Price: 

0,68 USD without shipping, with about (I ordered a bunch of masks at the same time) 1,40 USD

Bought from: 

Roseroseshop

Buy again? 

No.

Worth the money? 

I do have to say using the mask wasn't that pleasant and the end result wasn't very visible. It wasn't expensive mask, it's a daily kind of mask, so I did get one use out of it and it was ok. For some reason I expected something more nourishing. It wasn't worth the money in that sense that I could've bought something else instead!
