I think face masks are a wonderful little treat to do once or twice a week, but the big-name brand ones can get expensive quickly! So as an avid lover of Freeman masks, due to their affordability and wide product range I was so excited to see a brand new product to try and scooped it up immediately. While the peel-off masks haven't been my favorite in the past, I'm always willing to give them a go when I see a new one.
Unfortunately, this product isn't worth buying. I applied it onto my hand to do a test patch and after 20 minutes it still hadn't dried down. Assuming I had just put too thick of a layer I proceeded to apply a thin layer onto my face... HUGE mistake. Within a few seconds my eyes were burning and tearing up due to the potent sweetly-chemical smell. I once again ran into the same problem of the mask refusing to dry down and become peel-able.
After about 30 minutes of waiting and not seeing any results I decided to just go ahead and wash the mask off, which was another problem in itself. The mask hadn't dried, but had become quite tacky (like half-dried glue) so it wouldn't rinse off easily and involved a lot of scrubbing on my skin to remove all traces of the product. At the end of all of that my skin was dried out, red and stinging, likely from the scrubbing and not the product itself but it wasn't coming off any other way.
All in all, this mask is a huge pass from me. I'll stick to some of their better options such as the Strawberry-Chocolate or the Dead Sea Minerals.
