ConsWhen removing it, it doesn't get evenly removed, which is inconvenient. On the other hand, if I apply it too thickly, it takes too long to dry.

However, the effect does not last long.
ConsThere is a temporary pore-minimizing effect. But after peeling it off, the edges are left slightly behind, so you need to wash your face.

It feels so soft and smooth, and when it dries, there's a nice tightening sensation that I really liked.
ConsI bought it thinking it was a blackhead remover product, and that turned out to be a fatal mistake..! And the smell is just not good at all.. And the brush that comes with it? It doesn't stay on well.

Initially, it has a slightly tacky cream texture, but when applied to the face, it creates a warming sensation and a tightening effect on the pores as it dries. Once fully dried, the mask can be peeled off.
ConsThe main downside is that it can be a bit tricky to apply evenly, as the sticky texture makes it challenging to spread the mask at a uniform thickness, which is important for easy peeling later. While the adhesiveness is not as strong as a nose strip, it may still cause irritation for those with sensitive skin, as it contains alcohol, which can also contribute to the warming sensation. There is also always some residue left behind after peeling, which requires additional effort to remove by rinsing with water or wiping with a toner-soaked cotton pad.

After using the pack, my clogged pores reduced quite a bit So I've been using it occasionally when my skin feels congested and I want to exfoliate>< It's also reasonably priced, so I'd recommend everyone to try it out!! Highly recommended
ConsThe smell is too strong, like bleach So it stung my eyes a bit when I first used it

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe review flows like a stream of consciousness. The busy modern person only needs to see the ✔ to know. 💋I'm a typical combination skin type. T-zone is oily, U-zone is dry. With thin skin showing visible capillaries, full of redness, pores as big as craters, I've completely graduated from inflammatory acne after my teens, but I'm still battling small bumps on my forehead and between my brows, and if the ingredients don't agree with me, I get white heads? Tiny pus-filled bumps? popping up around my eye area and on my chin area. But I'm too lazy and tired to put in a lot of effort into my skin... Let's put the tears aside and review this product. 💋I've been using it for about half a year since its release in January. ✔Effectively eliminates peach fuzz that causes makeup to lift ✔Calms unexpected breakouts ✔Better than not using it... Effective in sebum control and exfoliation Whether I use it this way or that way, its fuzz removal ability is unbeatable. While uneven texture and dead skin cells can also cause makeup to lift, the fine, invisible peach fuzz also plays a big role, and this product clears them all out so well that the night before a full makeup look, I don't have to worry about my makeup lifting due to fuzz the next morning. Pore refining and sebum control have always been my main quests, so whenever a new product related to that comes out, I tend to just buy and try it. I bought this for the same purpose. But interestingly, the red, allergic-looking breakouts I had on the inner part of my cheeks significantly calmed down after using this mask. Huh, why would that function show up there? Compared to improvement in pore issues, I feel like my skin just became so much smoother and softer. With all the various botanical extracts in it, I think it just agrees well with my skin's moisture balance and handling of breakouts. Looks like Etude House has been putting a lot of research and fun into their basic skincare line... (Just my personal speculation.) To be continued...
Cons✔The effectiveness is very hit-or-miss depending on how you use it. ✔Better than not using it... Effective in sebum control and exfoliation? Depending on how you use it, and some mysterious variables that change day-to-day, the results can be a total gamble. Sometimes, the blackheads and whiteheads in my pores on my cheeks pop out like a standing ovation, just like famous products like the L**** nose pack or the 3-step nose pack. But other times, I find myself wondering what I even did for 30 minutes... Before getting the hang of the usage, I'd get annoyed at Etude House for tricking me again, but now it's become an essential step I do the night before a full makeup look. In other words, anyone will get annoyed before figuring out the right usage. Due to this hit-or-miss nature, it's better than not using it, but is it a must-buy? (Yet I'm on my third jar...) There are a lot of other peel-off mask options at a similar price point. It might be too irritating for extremely sensitive skin. Peel-off masks, especially the ones with that foil or tape-like texture that became trendy at some point, aren't exactly gentle on the skin either, and the peeling itself can cause irritation or even pain, so it's worth considering carefully before purchasing. +It does an amazing job at removing the fine, white peach fuzz, but it can't seem to grab the more prominent, dark vellus hair. Those need to be plucked one by one with tweezers... Is the strong adhesion a consideration to avoid plucking the eyebrows or head hair?
Tip✔Spread it evenly all over using a silicone brush from online, applying tension to reach every nook and cranny! ✔Thicker on the edges, just the right thickness on the targeted areas! Thoroughly! ✔If you peel it off before it's fully dried, or leave it on for too long after drying, the sebum control effect is reduced + it may create wrinkles if you move it before it dries... I use it on three areas: forehead~between brows / cheeks / chin. With the silicone brush, I apply one full swipe on each section, which is the perfect amount. (Individual differences may apply) Rather than applying it thickly, I apply it just enough for the skin tone to show through, but really press it into the pores. With the care and attention of combing through each peach fuzz hair! Applying it with tension and thoroughly is much more effective. However, the edges should be a bit thicker, or else it's difficult to peel off. The product volume looks small, but using it this way 3 times a week, I've used up over 2 jars in half a year and just repurchased at a 50% sale with about 1/5 left. The key is to apply it evenly, thoroughly, and quickly before it dries unevenly! It's difficult and messy to do with just your hands, so using a tool is better. Silicone brushes, silicone puffs, spatulas, etc... The product on the tool just peels off cleanly after drying, so it's not even inconvenient. Once it's somewhat dried, you can apply an additional layer on top, as the mask will contract as it dries, and large pores with high sebum production will develop air pockets. But be careful not to let it dry on any stray hairs or eyebrows, or else it'll be a nightmare to peel off, so it's best to use a headband. Honestly, I'm hesitant to buy it at full price, so I'll wait for sales.

Well, first of all, my skin tone became brighter instantly, just like the reviews on the official website. I've always been told that my face is on the whiter side, but it definitely looks even whiter now. I didn't examine it too closely, so I'm not sure how long the effect lasts.
ConsI tried it, but there's not much to say. If you just slap it on carelessly, it'll be a pain to peel off the thin layers later. Since it didn't even sting, I just wiped it off with a remover. Oh, and the amount is too little. I paid the full price, and it feels like such a waste. I'll probably have to use it a few more times to finish the whole thing.
TipEven if it's a hassle, make sure to apply it thickly.
