I have previously tried some of their whitening sheet masks and received a travel sized of Annie's Way Calendula + Chamomile Softening Jelly Mask with my purchases.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
The travel sized Annie's Way Calendula + Chamomile Softening Jelly Mask comes in a clear plastic sheet with 40ml clear jelly mask contents. The texture is like a glooey thick gel but spreads easily. The travel sized I owned doesn't come with any spatula so I use my hand to scoop the contents and spread it on the face. It has a slight floral scent which isn't discernable unless you put your nose close to it.
How to Use:
1) After cleansing face, use a spatula and apply evenly to face with a 0.3-0.5cm thickness.
2) After 15 to 30 minutes, remove jelly mask by scraping gently.
3) Wipe off with tissue and rinse with water.
Tip : Two applications a week is recommended.
For first-time users, a 5-minute trial is advised. Should there be any skin discomfort or irritation, stop the application immediately, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Performance and Ingredients
Calendula + Chamomile Softening Jelly Mask is said to gently melt away dirt and acne and easily remove blackheads without the help of peel-off mask. The jelly texture helps calm and contract pores, eliminating redness and renewing skin. It draws out oil, dirt and toxins and softens skin. Shrinks follicle walls to purify pores. Hydrates skin and leaves it feeling firm and smooth.
Because of the unique formula in the jelly mask, the thick layer application helps to dissolve dirt, metabolize and soften aged sebum, stimulate walls of hair follicles to contract, thereby making shallow acne detach from pores and injecting nutrients and moisture into pore where the cold compressing effect firms and relieves skin.
I like how the thick gel applies easily on face without worries of drippy mess. It has a cooling, calming and refreshing sensation once layered on skin. Without the spatula for application and rinse-off, I use cotton pads to cleanse off before using copious of water to rinse the remaining excess.
Pores looked clean and more refined. Skin was less red and more hydrated as seen on a slight red flaky patch on my forehead prior to mask use.
