111SKIN Anti Blemish Bio Cellulose Facial Mask - 1 Mask 25ml/ 0.85fl.oz

This is probably one of the best home face masks I’ve ever used. I will be using it the night before I get married that’s for sure!

Awful

I felt like this was deceiving because it seemed like it was going to be a full face mask and it was only for the lower half of the face!

The 111Skin Harley St. London Anti Blemish mask is likely one of the most expensive masks I've tried to date ($30 for one as of this writing). Lovely and effective, but not worth paying for a one-and-done, single-use mask. Sheet masks and skincare, in general, do not have to be expensive to be good.This slightly gossamer, two-piece bio-cellulose mask is made from coconut membrane. Has a hydrogel feel and good adhesion when placed on the skin for the allotted wear-time. Comes saturated in clear watery treatment essence. Does have a pleasant scent; not overpowering or offputting. But unnecessary. I prefer fragrance-free skincare. Also has plastic mesh liners to keep the masks from gluing to themselves, one another, and to ease application. I don't like to use sheet masks that have extra plastic packaging. Wasteful. They could have used a papery liner, and it would have been just as effective.To use: cleanse and tone skin. If you don't use toner, no worries. Cleanse and skip to the sheet masking step. Be sure to open your sheet masks over the sink to avoid spillage/mess. Many of them, like this one, are soaked in liquid essence. But save whatever liquid is leftover at the bottom of the pouch. You can pat this on after the mask for extra layering before applying a moisturizer. Place the upper or lower to the face in whatever order is comfortable for you. It doesn't matter which one is laid first. Wear for the instructed time. These are not meant to be worn overnight or for prolonged periods. Wearing them longer than required can be counterproductive (as the mask dries out, so is your skin). Research transepidermal water loss.Anyway, the anti-blemish one is ideal for those with oily to normal skin, for those who suffer from acne or hormonal breakouts and need something calming, with sebum control. I'm in my 40's and still struggle with excess oil and congestion.While treatment/medicated sheet masks are pleasant to use, they are not essential to skincare. It is a lovely way to pamper yourself for a night. They've grown in popularity over the years, spurred on by the Korean skincare craze. Most sheet masks can be used day and night, as often as you like/tolerate. Some people wear them nightly, others (like myself) weekly. Just depends on your needs. They come in all shapes, materials, formulations, and price points. They don't need to be expensive to be good. I like the ones that focus more on hydration, that are fragrance-free and have good adhesion, personally. I use them when I want a break from my actives. But in the end, sheet masks are more about the experience and short-term gains.For example, this 111Skin Anti Blemish mask is a good, soothing treatment for a nasty flare or calm an occasional breakout, but not something most people struggling with persistent acne could afford to use regularly. So how do I feel about the mask overall? In a word, meh. It is an over-the-top mask in terms of packaging and material. It is soothing but way overpriced.

I’ve tried 111skin products before and enjoyed them, so when I saw this mask I was excited to try it.I get hormonal breakouts on my chin area and around my mouth. I thought by 35 I’d be done having to deal with breakouts, but nope. So, I’m always looking for something that is helpful to my skin and breakouts. When I saw this was a mask for blemish prone skin, I was even more excited to try it!This has 2 separate parts - top half and bottom half. The top half is meant to help control oil and shine without messing with moisture in the area. The bottom half is meant to combat lower face eruptions and calm skin. That was perfect for me since my breakouts are always around my mouth and on my chin!I’ve had masks before that came in 2 separate parts, but never that has each part targeting something different. Another thing I thought was unique was that these were packaged separately. It seemed as though they were together in the standard mask packaging. But, they were actually separate packaging but just together, when you can separate the package into 2 separate halves. I thought that was really unique so if you wanted, you could do them at separate times. Of course, the top half has 2 eye holes and the bottom half has 1 mouth hole. So, they aren’t made to be used on whatever half of your face you want. But, it’s nice you can use them at separate times if you wanted. Like, if I’m breaking out on my lower half but don’t feel the need for oil control on the top half, I can just use the bottom mask and save the top mask for when I do want oil control. So, I think that’s nice.111Skin products are pretty pricey for me, and this mask is no differ. It’s $32 (at the time of writing this review), which, to me, is CRAZY expensive for ONE mask. Even though it comes as 2 halves, it’s still really one mask. So, $32 is a lot in my opinion. But, if it works well enough, I wouldn’t mind splurging on myself once in a while to get it.I do feel like the mask works well. The top half didn’t dry my skin out at all, but did help with oiliness. The bottom half helped lessen the 2 pimples I had - they decreased in size by the next day and weren’t as red.Overall, I think this is a really nice mask. The only downside I found is that it’s $32 for a single mask! That’s pricey! It works really well though. So, it will definitely be something I’d be willing to splurge on once in a while to treat myself or if I feel I really need it! If you’re able to spend it or willing to splurge for it, I recommend it!
