The packaging
The packaging is just like with all the other masks from this sheet mask range - with pictures of the main ingredient on the front side and a wooden spoon containing the ingredient. On the back of the pouch, 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 easy to unfold.

The sheet material was medium-thick - like average sheet material - and a little stiff.

Essence
This essence was clear and watery. The sheet didn't drip while I was unfolding it but the essence did run 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 strong smell like a mixture of green tea and floral. It was a bit overwhelming because it was noticeable while the mask was on.

Fit
The fit was nice. The holes for the eyes and the hole for the mouth were big enough for my face. There were slits to adjust the mask for a better fit and the sheet material didn't break easily so it was no problem to do. The stiff material didn't adhere as well to my skin as I would've hoped.

Time
According to the back of the pouch, you should leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes. I left it on for  25 minutes and it was still damp when I removed it.

While wearing the mask, it didn't irritate my skin. It had a pleasant cooling effect.

Results
When I took off the sheet, the remaining essence on my skin absorbed after about 10 minutes. It left a bit of a sticky residue. My skin felt hydrated and moisturized and I didn't need a lot of products afterwards.

Price
This costs $1.20 (USD) on innisfreeworld.com so it's a budget friendly mask.

Pros
- Nice fit.
- Pleasant cooling effect.
- Does as it claims to do.
- Affordable.

Cons
- Strong smell.
- Adherence could be better.
- A little sticky residue.

Would I recommend?
Sure. This is a nice everyday mask if you don't mind the strong smell and the sticky residue.

Repurchase?
I still have two of these left but once I've used those, I will not repurchase.
