Review: 3W Clinic Fresh Aloe Mask Sheet

Hello! As you can see, today's review will be one of a sheet mask. I like sheet masks, even though I've had a traumatic experience with one once; I feel asleep with it on and woke up the next day with my pillows full of the essence o_o Anyway, this is the Fresh Aloe Mask Sheet by a company called 3W Clinic. I'm not familiar with it, but I get this mask for free whenever I buy a lot from Cosmetic Love. I've also tried the pumpkin one, the lemon one, the collagen one & the potato one. There are more types, even a placenta one,  I just--- why would anyone want to put that on their face? Anything for beauty, I guess.

The back of the packaging! Thankfully, there are English instructions and a list of the ingredients. However, the ingredients are not very good; pretty typical of a sheet mask, but worse. Not the mention, there are more preservatives than aloe extract in it. Same goes for the other types; the ingredients are the same, it's just the extract that changes. I understand why a sheet mask must contain preservatives, but for God's sake, don't boast about how the mask contains aloe with 'excellent hydrating effects', because you could as well call this is a Methylparaben mask, since it contains more of this. Ugh, marketing.

This is what the mask looks like when you get it out of the plastic. It has parts for your eyes (I don't know what to call them...) and that's always a plus for when you want to close your eyes and relax, good job!

Me looking ridiculous displeased with the mask on. The fit, guys, the fit! The mask is too big and the 23g of essence weren't enough since it got dry pretty soon and kept getting out of my face at the sides. The scent is so-so, kind of artificial; I never paid much attention to it to be honest. After removing the mask, my face felt sticky until I patted it softly to the point it felt okay. But that has been the case with most of the masks I've tried. The effects don't really impress me, unfortunately, I feel like my skin gets oilier, but at least it doesn't break me out.

Would I recommend this? No, but if you get it for free it's worth trying :)

    1. I know, right! But when I gave the cucumber one to my mother to try, the fit was almost perfect on her face! Maybe I have a small face and I don't know it?! o_o
