Hada Labo Tokyo Ultimate Anti-aging Facial Mask – 0.7 Oz

One of my favorite sheet masks
Hada Labo is well-loved by Asian Beauty enthusiasts, mainly for their Gokujyun lotion. I’m addicted to sheet masks and always looking for good deals, so when I saw these on sale for only $9 I bought them immediately. These do not contain any artificial fragrances or alcohols, when can be irritating for my sensitive, dehydrated combo skin. They’re also very thick — I know there’s a lot of hype about ultra-thin sheet masks these days, but I personally prefer the thicker ones because they tend to soak up more essence and do a better job at being occlusive by preventing product from evaporating from the skin. Some folks might not be happy with the somewhat fibrous texture, which is a lot like that of a thick, brown paper towel (if this is too irritating for your skin, try hydrogels or silk masks), but this also makes the mask more durable and difficult to tear.One of the reasons I love these masks is because they fit my face almost perfectly with minimal wrinkling. I must have a small face, because every other mask I’ve tried has had some excess fabric overlap and bunching around my nose, lip and chin area. There is not much excess left in the packet, which I actually prefer because I don’t feel like I’m wasting product. I was able to leave mine on for around 50 mins before it started to feel drier in places, but it was still pretty moist overall. It leaves no residue, and my skin felt more hydrated for 1-2 days after use.If you have a similar skin type and like to avoid fragrance and alcohols, I would definitely recommend these sheet masks. To get the most out of your masking, use these before bed, after cleansing and toning. Some might want to skip applying moisturizer afterwards, but it’s usually best to use one in order to seal in the benefits of your mask.

OUTSTANDING PRODUCT!!! (hypersensitive skin, oily, blackheads, rosacea)
I returned from a work trip with irritated, overwhelmed skin. Spectacular new constellations of acne and blackheads traveled home with me, accompanied by a blazing rosacea bloom growing by the minute. Yikes.Fortunately, this Hada Lobo sheet mask was waiting in my mail! I cleansed my skin and smooshed it on. As the cooling sensation breathed into my skin, I still wondered: was I making a bad skintuation worse, or pulling off a dermatological Hail Mary?About 15 minutes after application, I gently removed the mask, patting the remaining serum into my skin. Rosacea had vanished: only two wee patches of redness remained (about half the size of a coffee bean). The hyper-production of oil had stopped, redness had completely faded from the fresh acne, and remaining blemishes were now in the “almost-healed” phase of the breakout cycle.This morning (day after masking) my skin looked amazing – like, after-the-spa amazing.As a side-note: the serum left a definite gloss on my skin. From a phone booth sized distance, my face looked oily. This sheen was actually the serum, locking in moisture, and didn’t feel oily at all. It was distinct enough to prompt me to ear-mark this face mask for night-time use only. Other than that, no problems – just praise and relief!

High Quality Mask
Wonderful, refreshed facial skin results after 20 minutes. The mask removal leaves little to no sticky residue afterwards. I was pleased buying this product and will purchase it again!

Great hydration mask, leaves your skin super moist
