My overall experience/comments on the product:
I find this mask to be extremely hydrating and soothing and I suppose if I were extra dry or my eczema were acting up I'd like it more but I find that it feels very thick and heavy on my skin, especially given that it's meant to be removed with a cloth rather than being rinsed off entirely. :/ I can update you folks how I feel with regular use.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
