SNP The Sound of Your Heart Choseok Brightening Mask Review

What: SNP The Sound of Your Heart Choseok Brightening Mask, 25 ml / 1 sheet
Price & Where: Php 149 at Watson's

Hey, guys! Today's review is about SNP's Choseok Brightening Mask from their 'The Sound of Your Heart' Collection.

SNP launched various products based on the webtoon / TV series and it includes 4 sheet masks based on the characters. I have already reviewed 2 out of the 4 masks - (read here and here if you are interested).

About the Product

Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Juice, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Water, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Broussonetia Kazinoki Root Extract, Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract, Betaine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Polysorbate 80, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol, Ethyl Hexanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

Niacinamide and Morus Alba (white mulberry) stood out to me since I know they're popular and effective brightening ingredients. The other plant extracts (pomegranate, broussonetia, cranberry) looks like they are there to help brighten the skin too.

According to this Cosdna analysis, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, and Butylene Glycol are potential acne triggers and irritants. Don't use if you are allergic or sensitive to them or to any of the ingredients.

How to Use:
After cleansing your face, tone skin and apply the mask to the face evenly centering around the eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10-20 minutes, and peel the mask from face. Pat gently any remaining essence to skin.

My Experience

this dude is called Choseok and he is the main character of The Sound of Your Heart

I opened the pack and was greeted by a strong citrusy and minty smell. So far, this is my favorite scent from the line. I really dig the fragrance! It is very energizing and made me happy!  For those with sensitive noses, don't worry because the scent is not as strong once on the face. I can still catch a whiff of it whenever I move but the scent is not as noticeable. 

The material is the same as the rest of SNP Sound of Your Heart masks. It is thick but still soft and not scratchy. There's 25 ml of essence inside and the mask was really dripping wet. It has a slight cooling sensation which I like.

How the mask looks like when worn. I'm squinting to see the design better lol

The fit was great (the mask was almost perfectly flat except for the crease on the mouth area) but looks like the 2d design doesn't do well on my face. The pic above is me trying to figure out what happened to the design, haha.

The crease on the mouth area was the first thing that loosened up. I spooned the extra essence back to the mask so that it will last even longer. I wore it on my face for about 45 minutes before it started falling off. The essence dried a little bit sticky but it was still tolerable.

Results?

the mask laid flat

True to its claim, this brightened my face a lot! I'm very satisfied in that aspect. However, since this is pricier than the usual masks I use, I kept looking for other benefits. Moisture is just okay but other than that, I don't see other notable effects.

This would be good for people with normal skin just wanting a quick pick me up or for those who just want to insert fun in their routine. I imagine this would be great for mask parties with friends.

Tried this mask? What do you think?
