SHEET MASK | Saturday Skin Cotton Cloud Probiotic Power Mask

When probiotics in skincare first came out, it was an exciting time for me as I was really into yogurt and promoting good gut flora in my digestive system and there were some good studies that showed that probiotics in skincare were beneficial to the skin barrier. At the time, Saturday Skin's Cotton Cloud Probiotic Power mask was the only probiotic mask I knew of though even now I don't think this is something many brands do. 

Purchased by me

This mask has prebiotics and probiotics (bacteria food and the actual friendly bacteria), cotton extract and seabuckthorn extract which we know provide some serious hydration. There is also niacinamide for brightening all in a creamy essence in packaging that is TOO CUTE! I won't lie that the stickers and the shiny packaging sold me long before the ingredients did even though these cloud stickers are completely unnecessary. Imagine if you buy this mask regularly and how many of these stickers you would just be throwing out?!

If the word "cloud" makes you think this mask might feel soft, you are correct! It is indeed quite soft with a mask sheet material that is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified meaning that is has been tested for harmful substances from beginning to end product. A lot of Asian sheet masks have this standard so it's nice to see here as well!

Initially when I opened the mask, I was greeted with a very overpowering "industrial" scent which I thought was the mask essence, but upon closer inspection, it was actually the side of the packet with the stickers! I don't know what was happening or maybe having this mask for 2 years did something, but it smelled so chemically I thought something was wrong. The actual mask and essence were much more subtle, but still a bit medicinal.

I should note that the mask was well-soaked with essence and only looks dry in these selfies because I completely forgot to take a photo with the mask on until I had removed it! 

Mask Summary:

Price: $8 CDN 

Skin concerns: Dryness, dullness

Scent: Kind of medicinal, but it was hard to tell as the pocket with the stickers smelled so strongly of chemicals.

Essence Type: Cream

Duration: 25 minutes

Thickness: Thin

Mask Fit: Good. The eye holes were the type that were a bit stretched out.

Other notes: N/A

Final verdict: This mask was a good one and very attractive when it came to packaging, ingredients and experience. While this was a solid mask in terms of performance, I felt that it wasn't too mind-blowing from a number of other Asian sheet masks I have tried. While the probiotics aspect is interesting, I feel like I can achieve similar results with other masks, but I still encourage anyone to give this sheet mask a try!
