My experience:
MISSHA Skin Essential Charcoal & Horse oil sheet mask is a pretty good sheet mask with above average results. The packaging is black and has a beautiful picture of horse on it. Sheet itself is also black and is made of charcoal, bamboo fiber. It is very soft to the touch and fits very well. The adherence is very good as well.
Despite the doubts of having horse fat on my face and idea of essence being stinky, it is absolutely not so. It has light pleasant fragrance to it. Scent is very botanical in nature and not overpowering at all. Liquid milky semi-opaque essence is feeling very nourishing and not oily. Sensation is similar to good ceramide-based products. Essence is slightly beige/off white in color and spreads well on the skin. Absorption is magnificent! Everything necessary went into my skin with ease without any feeling of discomfort or oiliness.
MISSHA Skin Essential Charcoal & Horse oil sheet mask wearing time is 15 minutes. If your skin is very dry, stay closer to the 10 minutes of wear. I personally think this mask is made for more dry or mature skin types. What you feel upon removal is that skin is instantly softened and fine lines look blurred out. All mentioned results are immediately noticeable and last for an entire day. Of course where there is oil there is shine. My skin felt that is was getting more oily after 2 hours so I would not use it in AM routine anymore. Anyone who doesn't have oily skin could pull it off though.
I can hardly find these masks in stores anymore. It could have been a limited edition from MISSHA. I would purchase it again if I could find these in shops nearby. I loves my plump skin after using it. It gave me the feeling of a thin protective film on my skin like when you apply good nourishing cream on bare skin. Suitable for sensitive skin. Non-comedogenic for oily skin. Beautiful!
