The ingredients in red are potential irritants and acne triggers while the ones in orange have a safety rating of 3-5 (based on Cosdna). Avoid if you are allergic or sensitive to any of them.
There's a lot of plant extracts inside (like a lot: licorice root, green tea leaf, pomegranate fruit, Scullcap root, Japanese knotweed root, Korean chestnut shell) but aside from green tea, I'm not familiar what else would make this a soothing mask. From Cosdna analysis, most of the ingredients are there for moisture. Hmm, we'll see.
The essence is clear and runny but it's thicker than water. It has a floral scent but nothing too drastic. About the mask - it is made of very thick material, kinda like wet wipes. Perhaps it's to show the design better? The mask is sturdy and won't rip easily.
I'm not blessed with a tall nose so that part is quite loose 😂 otherwise, the mask fits me great. It clung well enough but, since the material is thick, the creases would tent after a while. I kept flattening those parts during the whole 30-minute period this was on my face.
After taking it off, I patted the essence on my face until it got absorbed. It took around 5 minutes. It dries quite sticky and I am not a fan. I normally don't wash mask essence off my hands but for this mask, I have to.

My Experience
The pack contains 25 ml of essence inside and it's enough to really drench the mask. You can see the extra essence pooling at the bottom of the pack in the picture below. There's a lot! I used it on my neck, arms, etc. |

| I look like a sunflower, but at the same time, I do not really look like one. What is going on here haha |

Results?
Despite the stickiness, I really L-O-V-E the bright glow it gave me! My skin is sufficiently hydrated and looks radiant. However, this is a soothing mask, right?
I specifically watched out for soothing results and honestly, I did not feel soothed during the time I had this on. I have a few pimples here and there and this mask did nothing to calm them. This has no cooling effect, no crazy relaxing aroma, no something that I would call soothing - you get the drift. If they called this a brightening mask instead, I would probably say I love it.
Final Verdict

| the mask laid flat |
The mask is not bad but I expected more soothing effects which it did not deliver. While I did enjoy using this, I will probably not repurchase.
I recommend this to The Sound of Your Heart fans! It's nice if you wanna live as Buuk for a short time.
I still have two masks from this collection (Choseok Brightening and Sensation Wrinkle) so keep watching out for my review! Thanks for reading!
