Hiddencos Latte Sheet Mask Review

What: Hiddencos Latte Sheet Mask
Price & Where: 120PHP at Althea PH

I'm a sucker for pretty packaging. Just look at this product. Isn't it cute? As a coffee lover, that latte cup design really pulled me in. It called me! This is the Latte Mask from Hiddencos and it contains premium Arabica coffee extracts.

Read on to see if putting coffee juice on your face is worth it. 😂

About the Product

Front and back of the mask (click to see full size!)
The info on the back is written all in Korean except for the ingredients list.

The product description at Althea claims that coffee is good for maintaining beautiful skin - caffeine is supposed to improve wrinkles, scars and recover skin elasticity. Aside from coffee extract, other notable ingredients include niacinamide for skin brightening, adenosine for skin firming and patented phyto-oligo ingredients to fill the skin with moisture.

How to Use:
1. Cleanse your skin before using the mask.
2. Apply the mask evenly across your face.
3. Remove the mask after 20-30 minutes.
4. After removing the mask, lightly tap the remaining essence on your face.

Here is the full ingredients list. (Cosdna analysis)
Don't use the mask if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the them!

I was greeted by the scent of latte as soon as I opened the pack. It smelled amazing - like a real latte! It's not very sharp like plain coffee - it is sweet and milky with a hint of vanilla. I love it. I have to fight the urge to taste it. Yes. Don't judge me, haha.

A look inside the pack

The pack contains 25g of essence. The texture is thick and not runny - kinda like a watered-down gel. The sheet mask inside is made of a thin, beige cotton material. It was very saturated but because of the consistency of the essence, it's not very drippy. There's still plenty of drops left on the pack. It's not enough to soak a dry, compressed mask so I just applied it back to the mask.

My Experience

The mask has this subtle, cooling effect. It's soothing. The overall fit is good. The eyes, nose and mouth holes were cut large and there are two slits in the chin area for adjustment. I wish they added more so that we can further adjust the shape but the slits are enough. There's only a couple of things I didn't like. The eyebrow part keep puffing up no matter how many times I smooth it down. The philtrum part is a bit long too. It covered half of my upper lip.

Hi.

That said, the cling is great!  It adhered to my face well (except the weird eyebrow part) and only started getting loose after 40 minutes. I removed the sheet mask shortly.

The essence took a while to get fully absorbed - I patted and rubbed it in for around 5 minutes before it finally dried out. It left a layer of oil. I checked the ingredients and there's canola oil, olive oil and macadamia seed oil in there. It's not very heavy but if you are acne-prone, you may want to tread carefully.

Results

The mask is brightening and moisturizing. My face looked radiant and dewy immediately after and my skin felt so soft. It's a little bit tacky from the oil layer, but in the morning, the stickiness was gone. As for it's skin-firming claims, my skin looks plump from hydration but that's it. I don't think it reduced wrinkles. Note: I have combi skin. This mask didn't break me out.

Final Say:

This mask is  bit pricier than the masks I usually buy, but overall, I enjoyed using this. May RP. Coffee lovers, you need to try this at least once!
