Innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Mask

Hello there everyone, how's your weekend? I hope you are all doing fine despite all the craziness that is going on in the world right now.

This is Innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Mask.

Innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Mask

First things first, I would like to say that this sleeping mask is different from the one I previously reviewed which was the Innisfree Capsule Recipe Pack Green Tea. That one has a creamier formula. 

This sleeping mask comes in a green screw top plastic jar. The packaging looks lavish. The plastic container also means that it is travel-friendly. I'm pretty sure that this mask doesn't come with a spatula so for hygienic purposes, I use a mask brush whenever I get some product (or clean hands if you're in a bind).

Innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Mask

The first thing I noticed when I opened this sleeping mask is the strong artificial scent. It is very prevalent and irritates my sensitive nose. I'm generally against fragrance being in skincare. It may be okay for products that can be washed off but because this mask is supposed to stay on the skin overnight, the smell is bothersome for me. To that point, the mask's cosdna list of ingredients puts the fragrance at 4.

Fragrance aside, this mask has a gel-like consistency that turns watery upon contact to the skin. It feels soothing and refreshing and is absorbed immediately. It didn't feel tacky nor sticky. This mask claims to hydrate and  nourish dry skin and I feel that this mask does deliver on those claims. This makes my skin look plump and healthy, especially on days that it needs extra moisture. 

After using this mask every other night for a week, my face has felt smooth and bouncy the morning after. I have also seen some improvements on the overall texture and complexion of my skin. 

Overall, I like that the mask absorbed well with no greasy after-feel. This is great to use on lazy days as it requires minimal effort to put on and you don't have to wash this off. It does a good job of hydrating the skin and with regular and consistent use, slightly improves the skin's texture and complexion. However, I don't really see significant immediate results compared to other sleeping masks that I have tried. More importantly (and a deal-breaker for me), the strong fragrance just makes Innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Mask very tedious to use.

Pros:
- Non-sticky gel texture
- Cooling and refreshing
- Absorbs well
- Plumps and nourishes
- Moisturizes and hydrates
- Value for money, good amount of product

Cons:
- Comes in an unhygienic tub
- Heavy artificial fragrance
