This product and I didn't start off on the right foot... The colour resembled wet concrete, and that term could also be used to explain the texture. The scent smelled very overpowering in the foil packet, and didn't go away at all during application or wear. The fragrance was akin to bug spray, without the alcohol sting.
Despite this, I made my best effort to use it. The mask felt slightly cooling on the skin, but not tingly. I tried to layer up the product to no avail, if you don't get a good thick coat on the first pass, you won't be able to afterwards. Every additional pass (even with a full applicator of product) just shifted the product already on the skin and left it a patchy mess.
The packaging says to leave it on for approximately 5 minutes, although it is very tempting to leave on for longer since the mask doesn't dry down or change in appearance like other masks do. I left it on for a couple additional minutes and only removed it once it began to make my eyes water.
Finally, the removal process was a nightmare. The mask became goopy and wouldn't come off my washcloth. I had to scrub the washcloth out in the sink in between passes. By the time I finally got all the mask off my face, my cloth was coated in it and required a deep clean in the laundry machine.
While all of these things are negative, they could be overlooked if the product worked really well... But I didn't notice much of a change in my skin. In fact, I had to wash it again just a couple minutes later since my face still felt slimy. Therefore negating the entire point of the mask.
Overall, I don't recommend this product at all. It has no redeeming qualities to it, and honestly I'm not even sure how it passed the initial product quality tests before being released to market. Hopefully other people have a better experience, but I will not be purchasing the full size product.
