VERDICT
I got this strictly because of the Gudetama collab...and anything that claims to help make my life simpler and easier I am all for. This, however, did not get along with my skin. Even though this is supposed to be a soothing mask that hydrates and revitalizes your skin, this really irritated my face. It stung the area around my mouth and the cheek area around my nose...basically the inner part of my face.
The outer perimeter of my face was fine...my forehead, temple area, the sides of my face that was fine, but the mouth and nose area stung pretty bad. I ended up having to take it off to find that my face was very red and splotchy and irritated...even the areas that didn't sting like my forehead and the sides of my face were red and irritated. I ended up rinsing the serum off my face and it immediately started to calm down.
Normally, even if I don't like a product, I try to find at least one positive thing to mention, but honestly I don't think there was a single pro or thing that I liked about this mask. I wasn't a fan of the scent, I wasn't a fan of the thick cardboard-y cotton material it was made of, the eye and mouth holes are TINY...I had to stretch out the mouth area and I stretched out the eye holes slightly as well and I have very small eyes so the fact that it barely cleared the perimeter of my eyes probably means that it will be too small for most people, even though I like the actual Gudetama character and that was the entire reason I got this to begin with I wasn't a fan of the Gudetama design on the actual mask and the way it looked on my face...it didn't up the fun factor for me like character masks are supposed to, and most importantly it just didn't do anything for my face other than irritate it and make my life more "difficult" because I had to rinse it off my face...not that it's difficult to rinse my face, but this was supposed to be "lazy & easy" skincare. Instead it just added extra steps to my skincare routine tonight because I had to rinse off, re-cleanse, and re-tone.
Obviously, having read all that, its no surprise that this gets a huge pass from me. I don't know what it is in this mask that made my skin sting and burn and irritate it, but there is definitely better out there. If you are looking to get your hands on a really nice soothing and healing sheet mask then definitely check out Dr. Althea's Essential Skin Conditioner Silk Mask: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/07/dr-althea.html. That one is awesome.
