I have 3 samples of the above product on a complimentary basis from Tang's Birthday Treats and another 20ml size tub as part of the September Glamabox . Laneige Water Sleeping Pack is the famed product from Laneige and is supposingly the first sleeping mask in the market. It has won legions of fans and subsequently the brand revamped the product and came up with the current product with the name "EX" at the end of the name. I heard that it has been the 3rd revamp but I cannot confirm.

I had the misconception of what a sleeping mask entails in the past so I never really thought of trying it out even though it was pretty popular in the market. I thought it would be a dripping mess but the actual truth is far from it. In fact, the application is like a moisturiser, rather than a mask.

This is a gel-like mask that is pleasant to use. Light blue in colour, it has a pleasant relaxing scent. The mask application is just like applying a regular moisturiser. The only difference is that, I felt that the product just sits on the skin surface without doing much to improve my skin.

There is no stickiness and skin feels comfortable during my initial usage. In fact, I was even impressed at that fleeting moment that it feels really refreshing on the skin. Skin feels soothed and protected. And its alcohol-free!

Subsequent usage made me realize that I dislike the extra layer of film on the skin which feels like dimethicone. It enveloped the skin giving the illusion that my skin is well protected but once I cleanse my face in the morning, the condition of my skin remained the same as before mask application.

You can follow the Face Relaxing Massage steps here though I did not follow thru.



The recommended usage for the mask is twice a week but depending on my skin condition, sometimes I used it on a daily basis, sometimes once in a few days. Still, I am not too overly impressed.

Coming from Laneige, I expected hydrated and bouncy skin but other than reaping that during my first intial usage, the expected skin improvements never arrive. It scored 4.4 from 10 users on Makeupalley.
