Pororo Friends Smart Pore Guide Mask Pack Review

WHAT: Pororo Friends Smart Pore Guide Mask Pack
PRICE & WHERE: 89 Php at my local Watson's
Hello, everyone. Character sheet masks always pull me in. What else is new? Haha. When I saw this at Watson's, I just have to try it! Anyway, here's my review!
The back of the packaging.
The information is written in both Korean and English.
Pororo Friends Smart Pore Guide Mask Pack features Eddy, a character from the Korean show Pororo the Little Penguin. The mask promises to clean and tighten pores like Eddy!

The sheet mask is made with natural cottonseed while the essence contains Jeju Island's Seaweed complex to control oil on the skin and enantia chlorantha to remove skin dullness.
Ingredients
Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Carbomer, Trehalose, Potassium Hydroxide, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Disodium EDTA, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender)  Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Boswellia Carterii Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract, Oleanolic Acid, Ecklonia Cava Extract, Hizikia Fusiforme Extract, Codium Tomentosum Extract, Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract.

 The ingredients look pretty low-risk based on Cosdna analysis. The sheet mask is free from parabens, sulfates, and alcohol. However, it does contain a lot of oils so proceed carefully if you have sensitive skin. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

 How to Use
(1) After cleansing prepare your skin with toner. Open the pouch, pull out the mask, and place on your face. (2) Remove the sheet 20 minutes later. (3) Pat leftover essence for full absorption.

Caution:For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If adverse reaction develops, stop use and contact your physician. This product is not for babies.

MY EXPERIENCE

The pack contains 25g of essence and it was just enough to coat the sheet mask without being drippy. The scent is lemony - a treat for me because I adore citrusy fragrances!
Swiper, no swiping! Hahaha!
(Sorry, that was from another kid's show, not Pororo lol.)
The sheet mask was longer in the forehead to accommodate the fox's ear design. While cute, it was inconvenient because it made my hair wet. Overall, the fit was okay but could be improved.

The sheet mask is thick and not very clingy. Aside from that, it formed tents as soon as I wore it. However, it was able to stick to my face for more than 40 minutes. After removing the sheet mask, I patted in the extra essence. It was slippy but did not feel that tacky.

Results?

After my skin absorbed all the extra, I can immediately see a difference! I can visibly see that my face brightened a lot and my pores look a lot smaller!
Before and After.
Moisture test results.
However, there's not much difference when it comes to moisture. I did my normal skincare routine before sheetmasking (except using a moisturizer because it comes after this step) and my skin was already nicely hydrated at 50.7% (note: optimal moisture value is at 60%). If I was not keeping up with my Korean routine, I think the moisture increase will be more substantial.

Overall, this is an okay mask for me. I enjoyed using it but will probably not repurchase.

Have you tried this sheet mask? How's your experience?
