Today I'm going to be comparing the CosRx Acne Pimple Master Patch: https://go.magik.ly/ml/c6ai/...

and the Missha Speedy Solution Anti Trouble Patch: https://go.magik.ly/ml/c6al/...

both of which are awesome, but for very different reasons. They not only perform differently, but are constructed differently as well; so let's break it down.

First let's compare the physical aspects...

As you can see from the table above, the Missha patch is super thin and has a plastic-y feeling which can make it feel quite cheap to be frank and it only comes in 2 sizes while the CosRx patch is thicker and more silicone-y making it feel more high quality and comes in 3 different sizes.

If these two could get together and have a baby that would be fantastic because I love how thin the Missha patch is and that it's completely clear, but I love the silicone-y texture of the CosRx and that it comes in 3 different sizes. Push come to shove, I personally would choose the CosRx over Missha because I do prefer the silicone-y texture and that I have more variety of sizes, but it's honestly all a matter of preference.

Moving on to the performance of these patches, both perform well in their own right but excel at treating certain types of acne/blemishes, so depending on the type of acne/blemish that you are dealing with will determine which one you're more inclined to use or both.

The CosRx patch is great for regular acne/blemishes and really does a great job of sucking out and expelling the gunk (great for those who love to be visually satisfied), whereas the Missha patch is better suited (in my opinion) for treating the painful cystic acne-like bump blemishes which take longer to heal and are harder to treat (from my past experiences). You won't see any gunk being sucked out with the Missha patches (no visual satisfaction with this patch), but it does an excellent job of reducing the bump and redness and calming the blemish down.

So that I can paint a better picture for you guys...I don't know if this is actually how the Missha Patch works, but the Missha "dissolves" the bacteria and gunk under the surface (so you can't see what's going on) while CosRx extracts the bacteria and gunk (so you can see what's going on). I think that would be the best way to describe and think of it. Hopefully that makes sense.

Lastly, in terms of price and packaging, you get more bang for your buck with the Missha patches as you get 80 patches for $5 vs. the 24 CosRx patches you get for the same $5, but in terms of packaging CosRx is better because it comes in a nice and roomy resealable zip lock pouch whereas the Missha packaging is not resealable and tight so its harder to slide the patches back into the packaging for storage.

Is one necessarily better than the other? No. Each product has its pros and cons, but performs really well, so depending on personal preferences and the type of acne/blemish you need to address will determine which patch you should go for...if not both.

I hope this was helpful!

FINAL VERDICTA lot of people love these bio-cellulose masks...especially this 7 wonders line, but I am not a fan...I think I'm like in the 1% minority that isn't a fan. These masks are made from a more premium ingredient and supposed to perform better, but my skin just doesn't agree with it. First off, these are drying on my face which is the opposite of what you want from a sheet mask. Secondly, these made me itch really bad and irritated my skin...all of them. I had these red bumpy splotches that appeared on my face, and my face was not happy...as you can see from one of my sessions.

This is definitely a pass for me, however since soooo many people rave about and love these sheet masks, I would say buy one to try and see how it goes then go from there. Everyone's skin is different and it seems that when it comes to this particular line my skin is in the minority, so definitely give it a go if you're interested but just take it slow one mask at a time...unlike me. I heard all the rave reviews and bought 8 of them at once, which I totally regret now.

FINAL VERDICT

A lot of people love the gel masks from Leaders, but I personally am not a fan. So many people rave about these, but I found them to be very drying which is not what you want in a sheet mask. I don't know if it's just me...probably is, but I can't leave these on my face for very long. Even leaving it on for the suggested time frame was still drying.

I didn't really notice a difference between the variations in the line either...although I was more concerned and focused on how dry my skin was afterwards to really scrutinize my face and see if it made even the slightest difference, but it's definitely a pass for me.

I would suggest just buying one to try out to see if this type of biocellulose gel mask gets along with your face. Because soooooo many people love and rave about the Leaders gel masks I hesitate to recommend a complete pass. I could just be the weird odd man out, so I would say just buy one to try out and go from there.

FINAL VERDICT

Overall I wasn't a big fan of this line. While the gel masks from Leaders always left my face feeling dry, the masks from this line were the complete opposite...these left my face super hydrated...almost too hydrated if that's possible, so these would be better suited for those of you with very dry skin.
It's a very nice porous cotton mask that fits my face very well. It's drenched with serum...and I mean DRENCHED with serum, but it's a bit of a thicker liquid consistency so it doesn't drip or anything and it sticks to the face very well.

As I mentioned, they all come DRENCHED in serum, leave behind a TON of serum on the face after removal (as you can see in the pic below), and take forever to completely sink into the skin during which time it is a bit tacky on the face so I'm not the biggest fan. You can see my notes on each variation below.

AC-Clear Treatment Mask - This was hydrating, but that was about it. This didn't really do anything to help my hormonal acne. There's definitely better out there. It's a pass for me.

Aloe Soothing - I went on a hike and got sunburnt on just my nose and the lower half of my forehead...

...so I decided to whip this out and give it a go.

After 20 min passed the nose section dried a bit, but the rest of the mask was still very moist so I left it on for another 10 min. to make it an even 30 min. Even after 30 min. though it was still very moist, but I took it off. You can see in this picture below what I meant by drenched with serum.

Look at all that serum still left on my face! I tried to pat it in, but there was just so much of it it was no use so I just let it sit on my face and soak in on it's own and took some to rub into my arms.

Rather than calling this a soothing mask I would call this a hydrating mask...that was the biggest takeaway from this sheet mask. If you're looking for a mask that's actually soothing and healing I would look elsewhere.

Update: Took a few hours , but the serum has finally sunk in. My face is looking as red as before...if not more so and still feels a bit hot/feverish. Definitely not soothing or calming in my opinion. Just super hydrating.

Teatree Relaxing - Meh. Was hydrating, but how could it not be with all that serum that's it's drenched in. Other than that I didn't really notice much else. This is also a pass for me.

Vita Brightening - This did seem to brighten my face a little bit and was hydrating, but I don't see myself purchasing this again in the future. Not bad, but nothing spectacular. There are better brightening masks out there. It's a pass for me.
