I guess now that we are all on lockdown for the rest of the month, I am absolutely determined to blog about alllll of the sheet masks I have had notes for for the last 1.5 years! When I first embarked on this sheet mask mission, I literally wanted to do a blog review for EVERY SINGLE MASK I ever tried, but now after trying A LOT of of them, there are some that just aren't very interesting to talk about for an entire post so I started reviewing select ones with cool ingredients, were super expensive and we needed to find out WHY? or looked funny/pretty once I had it on my face. The Yadah Soothing Jelly Pack is about the packaging and a very weird texture so let's have a closer look, shall we?
This mask was given in my July 2018 FaceTory subscription and features a jelly essence that is so thick that it does not run down the neck and is an intensely soothing and hydrating mask that is perfect after a day out in the sun or for sensitive skin. The featured ingredients are Opuntia ficus-indica extract aka cactus as well as bamboo and aloe vera extract (the latter two are in the lower half of the ingredients list).
Ingredients: Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2 Hexanediol, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Extract (5,000 ppm), Polyacrylic Acid, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Cellulose Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Bambusa Vulgaris Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (green tea), Disodium EDTA, Fragrance
As you can see, this is a thick jelly and when I initially took the mask out of the package, there was A LOT of essence left behind in the package even with the mask feeling so heavy from having essence on it. Truth be told, it felt a little unpleasant when I was first putting it on my skin because there was just so much essence! I also had to move some away from my eyes!
Mask Summary:
Price: $5 USD
Scent: Little to none
Essence Type: I don't think you're ready for this JELLY! Thickest I have ever seen.
Duration: 15 minutes
Thickness: Fairly thin
Mask Fit: Good
Tackiness: Takes about 30 min to absorb, but NO TACKINESS! Had to massage it in and let the jelly sit.
Hydration: Good!
Other notes: There was quite a bit of jelly left after 15 minutes so I probably could have left on the mask for longer. My skin was also quite cool upon removal.
Final verdict: When I took the mask off after 20 minutes, there was SO MUCH ESSENCE left on my face! Almost like the last 20 minutes had never happened! I really thought I was going to be left with the stickiest residue, but then after massaging in the essence and waiting 30 minutes, everything was absorbed and without a tacky residue. Now, even though this mask turned out to be very hydrating, I'm not sure if I can get onboard with the thick jelly texture...I found it a little unpleasant despite the results being quite nice. When it comes to masks, I generally prefer the whole experience to be a pleasant one so while this was an interesting product, I'm not sure I would want to use it again.
