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:

Dried quite quickly, in 10 minutes (did I apply too little? you are supposed to have the mask on for 15-30 minutes) when it started to feel drying on skin, it did feel moisturizing again when I used a mist on top to get the mask wet again

I must admit I never noticed anything special right after using the mask or the next day, my skin wasn't radiant or luminous or revived or...

I thought my skin would have felt extra hydrated afterwards but it didn't, definitely needed the usual hydration steps

- I also didn't notice any difference in my "wrinkles" = fine lines (too young to belong in the target group?)



Feels very moist and hydrating when just applied to face, funny feeling, very nice especially on eye contour

My skin did look even and maybe slightly smoothed out afterwards but it had been ok even before the mask, no irritation

Mask is easy and pleasant to use, easy to spread evenly because it is very soft and creamy

Very slight, expensive feeling scent

I like that there's less waste compared to masks with single packaging (sheet masks etc) and the fit is obviously better and more comfortable!



* I got this mask from Lookfantastic Advent Calendar 2019. My first Filorga product, even though I've been interested in them for a while. The price has effectively prevented me from getting them!

15 ml is enough for about 7 uses at least if you use it only on face (not on neck as adviced as well).

I don't think it made any difference how you removed the mask, splashing with water or wiping with a cotton pad like Filorga suggests.


Price: 

About 35-45 € / 50 ml

Bought from: 

Lookfantastic Advent Calendar 2019

Buy again? 

For the entertainment factor maybe, if it comes in this mini size or in a cheap bundle! Otherwise no.

Worth the money? 

Filorga's Meso-Mask sure is entertaining and pleasant to use but I must say it is too pricy for me considering it doesn't do very much after all so it is just for fun. If hydration is what you're after once in a while, even a cheap sheet mask provides the results... but it is more environmentally friendly to do other kind of masks but I do masks rarely. Anyway I think I am too young to belong in the target group (in my 30s).
