Hada Labo TokyoUltimate Anti-aging Facial Mask - 0.7 Oz

This mask is 100% cotton. It's soft on your face, stays in placeand works wonders.Don't make the mistake and buy one of those rubber type mask.This is by far better!

Hada Labo is well-loved by Asian Beauty enthusiasts, mainly for their Gokujyun lotion. I'm addicted to sheet masks and always looking for good deals, so when I saw these on sale for only $9 I bought them immediately. These do not contain any artificial fragrances or alcohols, when can be irritating for my sensitive, dehydrated combo skin. They're also very thick -- I know there's a lot of hype about ultra-thin sheet masks these days, but I personally prefer the thicker ones because they tend to soak up more essence and do a better job at being occlusive by preventing product from evaporating from the skin. Some folks might not be happy with the somewhat fibrous texture, which is a lot like that of a thick, brown paper towel (if this is too irritating for your skin, try hydrogels or silk masks), but this also makes the mask more durable and difficult to tear.One of the reasons I love these masks is because they fit my face almost perfectly with minimal wrinkling. I must have a small face, because every other mask I've tried has had some excess fabric overlap and bunching around my nose, lip and chin area. There is not much excess left in the packet, which I actually prefer because I don't feel like I'm wasting product. I was able to leave mine on for around 50 mins before it started to feel drier in places, but it was still pretty moist overall. It leaves no residue, and my skin felt more hydrated for 1-2 days after use.If you have a similar skin type and like to avoid fragrance and alcohols, I would definitely recommend these sheet masks. To get the most out of your masking, use these before bed, after cleansing and toning. Some might want to skip applying moisturizer afterwards, but it's usually best to use one in order to seal in the benefits of your mask.

The reviews on this mask are so good I am not sure what I was expecting....If you are on a minimal (or nonexistent) skincare regime I am sure it can give you noticeable results but so would lots of other sheet masks. When your skin is severely dehydrated sheet masks are great for giving you that moisture bomb that plumps your skin making fine lines less noticeable but since I am already rocking a pretty moisturing skin routine I didn't notice any results.I average two sheet masks a week, I like these enough to use the rest but probably won't buy again because I don't think the result justifies more than $2/mask when so many other, cheaper products are similar.You do get a ridiculous amount of serum in each packet. I know that's a plus for some people but I'd rather just have a fifth mask and less extra serum. The masks are thick and don't rip as you adjust them on the face but I wish the eye holes were smaller, the area under my eyes is a problem area and it's hard to get the mask to cover there.I used the first mask immediately after cleansing because I was lazy. I didn't feel like it absorbed well. I left it on for about 30 minutes, wiped the excess off on my neck and arms, and went to bed. In the morning I woke up still slightly tacky. The second mask I did my normal routine of oil cleanse, exfoliating cleanse (Dr. G Brightening Peeling Gel), hydrating toner (the pink high moist pump one who's name I forgot), second hydrating toner (hadalabo gokujyun premium), then slapped the mask on while my skin was damp and it was WAY BETTER! Mask fully absorbed into the skin and didn't leave the same stickiness as the first time.Conflicted on how to rate this...it does what most other sheet masks do but nothing more...and without prep my skin didn't want to absorb it very well. I don't like the fit of the mask but the material is nice. I guess it's a good value to some people due to the extra serum but I'd rather have more masks with less serum in each packet. I want to give it three stars but I think it's just because other reviews hyped it up too much and it didn't meet my (possibly unrealistic) expectations. It's a perfectly nice mask but probably won't wow you unless your skin is in a pretty unhappy place.

Love these sheet masks, so much i wish there was a bottled version I can use to spot treat and use it more frequently.I have combination skin with acne prone sensitive skin. I like to use this mask when i need a hydration boost, it does a great job to increase moisture without breaking me out. I use this after my serum but before my moisturizer. And for an added punch of hydration I will slug on top of my moistyrizer with aquaphor.Just bought my 2nd box, really wish there was a bottle I could buy of it. Part of my skin was really dry, used this and the next night used the extra liquid on my face and by the next day all the dryness was gone and skin looks brighter. Would recommend!(Side note, i have asthma and strong smells bother my lings, this does not have a strong fragrance and I like that.)Honest review, bought with my iwn money and will buy again

I am over 70 years old and just wanted to find an easy way to moisturize my skin, as my skin doesn't wrinkle and I want to keep it that way. The day after my first use, my face texture felt 5 years younger as well as fuller and less tight. I wasn't expecting this quick a difference. I can't wait to see what my skin looks like after the 4 weeks the product recommends in seeing results. After taking off the mask, I also recommend using the mask on arms or legs before throwing it away. Wonderful product!
