Sally's Box Delight Ceramide Hydrogel Mask
Size: 25 g
Enjoy a relaxing experience with this ceramide mask that has a unique gel-like consistency. Ceramide is a lipid that helps skin retain moisture and supports repair for cellular tissue. Overtime, ceramides improve the skin's structure and make it more resilient against irritants and stress from environmental changes. Great for all skin types—including sensitive.
HOW TO USE
Peel off the protective films from the mask. Apply the upper sheet first, avoiding the eyes. Apply the lower sheet next, avoiding the lips. Smooth until even. Leave on for 30 minutes and then remove. Gently pat the remaining product into the skin until fully absorbed.

VERDICT
January 8th, 2017: Like most hydrogel masks that I've tried, this sheet mask was also smaller than your average sheet mask. I don't know if it's because it's a more premium material and therefore more expensive, but hydrogel masks always seem to be sized smaller than their cotton sheet mask counterparts so the majority of the perimeter of my face was left exposed, but I liked the size of the eye and mouth holes. Weren't too big, but weren't too small and tight either. It did have a very slight scent, which I didn't mind, but unless you're holding it up to your nose and take a big whiff you won't notice it. Again, just like the other hydrogel masks that I've tried, the top half stuck on nicely, but the lower half around my mouth kept sliding down even though I wasn't talking or anything like that.
As for the actual performance, this hydrogel mask is SUPER cooling and refreshing on the face. It felt like I had stuck my face into the freezer it was so cooling, so it'd probably feel a lot better and really awesome during the summer vs. now when it's winter. Anywho, I left it on for 30 minutes and when I removed it there really wasn't much serum left on my face. The majority of it had already sunk into the skin and while it wasn't sticky or tacky it did leave my face with a bit of a grip to it. You know when you slide your fingers over your face, but it doesn't just smoothly glide across...it's got a bit of a grip to it. That's what it feels like. That goes away after a minute or two though.
Honestly, I didn't notice much of a visible difference with this mask...this seems to be more of a feel the difference type of mask. The only visible difference that I noticed was that my face appeared to be a bit brighter and therefore a little bit healthier looking. Not a huge difference, but just a little bit brighter. The fact that it toned down a little bit, not completely, but a little bit of the redness on my splotchy cheeks probably contributed to that, but other than that no real visible difference. However, my face felt more hydrated...and it was more of a deeply hydrated feel. With other sheet masks I describe it as a nice layer of hydration ON the skin, but this one wasn't a nice layer on top but rather it had really sunk in and deeply penetrated my skin to hydrate it from the inside out. Also my skin felt a little bit healthier and stronger...as if it had gotten a little boost of immunity.
Now would I repurchase this? Umm...probably not. It was nice, and I feel like with continued regular use overtime it perhaps could make a more significant difference than with just a one time use, but for me I like to leave that to my actual skincare routine. For me when I think of a sheet mask I think of it as a quick fix...a skincare quickie. Something that you use for a specific purpose to get immediate results when addressing a specific problem. Something where the results don't necessarily last and make a difference in the long run, but it's a quick immediate fix unlike my actual skincare routine of essences, serums, moisturizers, etc. which I use for long term effects which last. Therefore, I am going to say this is a pass for me. This just didn't give me enough of the quick immediate results/gratification for me...plus at $5 a pop it ain't a cheap mask either.
Like I said, this is more of an incorporate it into your skincare routine sheet mask than an instant gratification sheet mask, which is not what I'm looking for when I buy and use a sheet mask, so if you're like me than I would recommend a pass. However, if you do want a skincare routine sheet mask to use regularly over time to help give a more long lasting effect then definitely check this out.

VERDICT
Secret Garden Tea Tree Oil Ampoule Mask: This is a really nice 2-step mask set. The ampoule is a really nice lightweight clear gel that sinks in nicely and is very hydrating without being tacky or sticky, and the actual sheet mask is made of a thin but dense microfiber that is super soft and gentle and comfortable...I loved the material. Overall the mask fit pretty nicely covering the majority of my face, but the eye and lip holes were not the biggest.
After my experience with the Annie's Way Jelly Mask, I really needed something that was going to be soothing and calming and very hydrating/moisturizing and could re-texturize my skin...and this definitely did that. This was not only cooling and refreshing and soothing while it was on, but it really did a good job of hydrating and re-texturizing my face to be soft and smooth again. It was also a teeny bit brighter and radiant and while my face wasn't 100% back to normal it was a lot better and healthier looking after using this mask.
While this isn't OMG amazing you need to run out and buy this right now, it is a really good, solid, reliable, and effective mask. I would definitely repurchase this, and recommend you give this a try if you're in the market for a good sheet mask that performs.

Secret Garden Olive Oil Ampoule Mask: This was also a really nice 2 step masking set. The ampoule in this one was a more emollient white cream...I prefer the ampoule from the tea tree set, but it was still nice nonetheless and the sheet mask was made of the same super soft thin but dense microfiber material that I loved.
It was nice and cooling and refreshing while on the face, and upon removal it left my face feeling hydrated, soft, and smooth. I do still prefer the tea tree variation to this one, but this is a really nice solid sheet mask set as well. You can't go wrong.
The only con was that it smelled like alcohol...which led me to actually take a closer look at the ingredients where I discovered there's actually alcohol in this so FYI, if you are sensitive to alcohol or don't like this ingredient in your skincare then stay away. It didn't irritate my face or anything, but the smell was definitely there.
Sally's Box Secret Garden Camellia Oil Ampoule Mask: Another really nice 2 step masking set. This one also had a white cream ampoule, but it was lighter and nicer than the once from the Olive Oil variation. This too was made of the same super soft thin but dense microfiber material that is awesome.
This was very cooling and refreshing while it was on the face and left my skin hydrated, soft, smooth, and a bit more radiant and healthier looking. Another really solid sheet mask.
OVERALL: This was a really nice set of sheet masks. There wasn't one variation that was bad, they were all really good solid masks. That being said, these three were not all created equal and if I had to rank these in order of preference I would go with the Camellia Oil in first place, though it was a very close race I liked it just a smidge better than the Tea Tree oil variation which comes in second with the Olive Oil variation bringing up the rear in third place. The olive oil was still nice and a good sheet mask, but my least favorite of this set.
Also, FYI, all three of these contain alcohol so beware if you are sensitive to alcohol or are ingredient conscious.
***Sokoglam is having a sale on this set right now (as of the time of this post on 10/20/16) for $10.50 making each individual sheet mask $3.50 so this is a great time to buy and try this out.***
