My experience:
HYGGEE All-In-One Whitening Mask was kept on the side for a special occasion. It looked so yummy and high tech that I set t aside in order to use it the night before my anniversary. Oh well. I glad I didn't do it on the day of the event and went with my trustworthy hydrogel from Dr. Jart+. The way the hydrogel mask is designed is simply awful. I have no idea how a manufacturer can screw up this bad. and FYI I store my masks flat in dry closet where there is zero access to the sunlight. I got it from the legit retailer of the brand online so there can't be misfortunes such as "you got a knock-off".
The packaging and aesthetic part is pretty. The essence is translucent and odorless which is amazing for sensitive skin holders. Getting it out of the pack. It looks ok at the first glimpse. s with most of the hydrogels, it comes with 2 separate pieces of the mask. So yadah-yadah-yadah, chin piece goes on first, then the top part, you know the drill. Once I started to remove the chin piece from the protective backing, mask started to pull apart. Most of the hydrogel remained on the plastic cover!!!! I inspected the packaging, no leaks, no gaps, hydrogel is equally moistened. One plastic protection comes off easily. Checked it on the top part of the mask, same story... After some thoughts of doubt I applied the chin piece and proceeded with the top part. Removing it millimeter by millimeter off from the plastic took me ages. Still managed to loose some pieces of the hydrogel as it was glued shut to the plastic protector.
On the photo below you can see the end result on my face. The fit and adherence was good, no complaints there. The interesting part about the fit is that the eye and mouth pieces remain attached to the mask so you could choose to place them over your mouth and eyes. I didn't want to so I left them hanging. After 20 minutes I took the mask off and was happy that despite the fact that bunch of my face was not initially covered by the gel, it still did something.
My pores were visibly smoother, fine lines seemed to be less deep and visible. Overall nourishment feeling, moderate hydration, slight brightening after that one use. If only the hydrogel was formulated in the manner that it would remain on the mesh where it was supposed to be on, the HYGGEE All-In-One Whitening Mask would be priceless for a pampering. For now it has brought me bunch of frustration and a feeling that I was cheated off 5$. It's a shame that this happened but it only proved my life's motto "expect the unexpected" once more. I wonder if same ever happened to you with any other hydrogel masks?
