Review: Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask Rice

I love a good sheet mask. I'll admit, I was immediately drawn to the Innisfree My Real Squeeze masks because of their aesthetic packaging. I picked up three different masks, Rice, Green Tea and Tea Tree. I'll add links to the reviews for each one here once I get around to using them all.

First things first, what's does this mask do?

According to Innisfree, the rice mask is a creamy texture to nourish dull skin leaving it looking clear and transparent.

If your new to K-Beauty, transparent usually refers to evening out skin tone.

So, what's in it?

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract (10,000ppm), Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Carbomer, Glyceryl Caprylate, Tromethamine, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Hyaluronate, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract, Orchid Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract, Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract

I'm not an ingredient expert, but I know a thing or two. The bolded ingredients are good and the underlined ingredients are questionable and possibly irritating. The rest, I really have no clue about (sorry).

Good Ingredients:

• Rice Extract

• Centella Asiatica Extract

• Aloe Leaf Juice

• Hyaluronic Acid

Possibly Irritating Ingredients:

• Alcohol (fourth ingredient)

• Fragrance

• Citrus Peel Extract

The Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask Rice, The Body Shop Chinese Ginseng and Rice Mask, Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder & Jade Roller.

My Experience:

• The essence was a creamy white colour, which I haven't seen in a sheet mask yet and it was super cool.

• The mask didn't fit my face very well, but I'm used to that.

• The mask was really thick too, but I found it started to dry out after about 15 minutes.

• There wasn't a strong scent to the mask, even though it contains fragrance.

• It felt cool and soothing on my face, you know that typical sheet mask feel.

• After removing the mask, my face was covered in red blotches. It didn't burn or anything, but I could tell my skin was irritated (this has NEVER happened to me with a sheet mask)

• The irritation and redness went away after an hour.

• I applied Niu Body's Hydrate serum and the Origins Sleeping Mask after the sheet mask. My skin felt ultra hydrated after and I woke up to moisturized, glowy skin.

Overall:

If you have sensitive skin, then I think you might want to pass on this mask. Obviously, if your skin doesn't react well to any of the ingredients then skip this mask. If you have pretty durable skin (aka if you don't get irritated or break out easily) then you'll probably enjoy this mask.

Although I did experience some redness, I'm not entirely put off from the Innisfree My Real Squeeze masks. I purchased two of the rice masks, so I'll definitely be using the second one up.

Would I repurchase the Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask Rice? No. But I am open to trying others, IF the other two masks don't cause any redness. I'll keep you posted when I do.

Happy Masking!
