These masks are really pleasant to use. They've hydrated my skin without causing any irritations so far, and it doesn't take long for the remaining essence to sink in. The smell isn't overpowering, and my skin feels smoother and more vitalized after using them. I also love that they're soaked in essence- there's enough that I can put the remainder in a small container, and use it as a makeshift sheet mask (with cotton pads and toner) on a later date.
