Etude House 0.2 Therapy Air Mask Aloe

Tonight, I tried this mask for the first time. I exfoliated my skin so it was a little irritated and that's why I grabed this mask. This mask is from the Etude House 'Therapy Air Mask' sheet mask range which is one of my favorite sheet mask ranges. Not only are these masks budget friendly - they haven't disappointed me yet.

The packaging
The packaging is like with all the other 'Therapy Air Mask' with pictures of the main ingredients on the front of the pouch. On the back side there are claims, directions and ingredients list in both Korean and English.

The mask

When I opened the pouch and took out the sheet, it was difficult to unfold.

The sheet material was super thin (0.2 mm) but it didn't break easily.

Essence
The essence was clear and watery and there was SO MUCH. It was dripping like crazy while I unfolded the sheet and the essence ran down my neck while I was wearing the mask.
There was about a tablespoon amount of essence left in the pouch.

Smell
The essence had a nice citrus-y smell. It wasn't strong or overwhelming and it was barely noticeable while the mask was on.

Fit
The fit was, like with all the other masks from this sheet mask range, great. Even though there weren't any slits to improve the fit, it fitted my face nicely. Both the holes for the eyes and the hole for the mouth were big enough for my face. The thin sheet material adhered well to my face and it stayed in it's place the whole time I was wearing it.

Time 
According to the back of the pouch, you should leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes. I left it on for half an hour before it started to dry around my nose.

While wearing the mask, it had a nice cooling effect - perfect for irritated skin.

Results
After I took off the sheet, the remaining essence on my skin absorbed within a few minutes. It left my skin feeling hydrated, so soothed and not irritated at all. Even after the essence was absorbed, the cooling effect was there. This mask was the perfect

Price
This costs $1.30 (USD) on etudehouse.com or you can buy a set with one of each of the masks from this range and pay $16.91 (USD) on eBay *

The only con I can think of is that it was dripping so much while I unfolded the sheet.
