The Face Shop Real Nature Calendula Face Mask

I bought a packet with 10 masks on eBay - one of each kind from this line. I gave me the opportunity to try all the masks and then order more of the ones that I like. Spoiler alert: This is not one of the masks that I am going to buy again.

Noticeable ingredients
Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (skin conditioning), Betaine (moisturizing) and Allantoin (soothing).

Full ingredients list:

Claims
"The mask sheet drenched in serum with Calendula helps smooth dry, rough, dead surface cells".

The mask

When I opened the pouch and took out the sheet, it was difficult to unfold due to the amount of slits.
The sheet material was medium thick and very soft.

Essence
The essence was thin and runny and there was plenty of it.
There was some left in the pouch.

Smell
The essence had a flower-ish smell - nothing overwhelming.

Fit
The fit was okay. There were plenty of slits to adjust the mask and both the holes for the eyes and the hole for the mouth were big enough.
Once the mask was on, it stayed in its place the whole time I was wearing the mask.

Time
According to the back of the pouch, you should leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes. I left it on for 20 minutes. I could easily have left it on longer because the mask was still drenched in essence but since it made my skin sting (probably because of the amount of alcohol), I took it off.

Results
The remaining essence on my skin absorbed quickly. It left my skin non-sticky and non-shiny and a bit hydrated.
Unfortunately, when I woke up the next morning, I had gotten a bunch of pimples and bumps.

Would I recommend?
No.

Price
This costs somewhere between $1 and $2 (USD) depending on where you buy it.

Repurchase?
No.
