I bought this on a Sephora clearance after I've been eyeing it for months and, honestly, it's worth every cent! The thing that initially caught my eye was the ingredients list (thanks, skincharisma, I'm always reading labels), the relatively high placement of niacinamide, and the fact tat it's a sleeping mask - a type of product preferred by me.
Anyway, I got it, and I must confess that this might be my most prized skincare product that I own! I absolutely love it! Every time I use it I wake up with my skin feeling fresh and so plump. The mask is obviously packed with humectants, and the formula/composition itself isn't like anything I've seen or tried before - it has strings of cream running through the typical for sleeping masks gel which you have to mix together before applying (a little goes a long way). After that I massage it gently until some of it sinks in (as it's recommended on the packaging). The mask dries quickly and it's not sticky at all (for comparison - The Body Shop's Tea Tree Night Mask is slightly more sticky)
I noticed huge improvement in the water balance in my skin which led to my pores getting smaller (the skin surrounding them is plump, so they shrank and my skin is properly moisturized so less need for sebum). It also seems to calm my skin down after a breakout (or if I've been picking on my face yet again) but such claims are not made by the manufacturer. Some of these effects can show up even after just one use but it really does benefit from dedication and strong overall skincare routine.
Oh, and it smells amazing - just like oranges!
