My overall experience/comments on the product:
I remember hearing good things about this mask last year but ended up missing out on it so when I saw it in stores again I figured now was my chance! This leaves my skin feeling very smooth and hydrated. I feel that it helped booth smooth out the eczema patch I have on my chin and to soothe it because it was much less red and angry-looking the day after I had used this mask. I will need to use it more long-term to see if I'd like to get it again.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
