Dr Botanicals Turmeric Superfood Restoring Treatment Hydrating Mask for Skin regeneration and skin care(60 ml / 2.02 fl oz)

This mask is pretty interesting. It has a light fresh scent - not perfumey or anything. It resembles a thick lotion. It goes on your face like a thick lotion. I actually thought it was going to stay moist and then rinse away like some other masks. But this dried - almost felt like there was a dried facial peel on my face. Felt slightly tight. It sort of got foamy and soapy-like when trying to wash off. It was like three different forms of a face mask! : ) Washing off was the hardest part - but not too bad at all. Afterwards my face felt clean yet soft. I didn't apply moisturizer and went to bed. I awoke with a super soft face. The only weird thing is that the directions say to wash and TONE prior to using the mask. To me - that seems weird. I like to tone after all skin routines other than moisturizer. Seems wasteful to tone and then mask - unless the goal is to remove make-up and stuff so your mask goes on as clean a face as possible.?.?. LOVE that this product is clearly marked VEGAN - awesome!

I assumed a turmeric mask would be pigmented yellow or orange, but this is very pale and thin consistency, like a moisturizer. It smells super strongly of lavender. PROS: moisturizing, contains really great humectant glycerin to draw moisture into the skin. Also contains beneficial ingredients like sea buckthorn, gluconolactate, and turmeric extract. Lots or fatty acids to repair skin and hydrate. CONS: highly fragranced, the ingredients Lavander oil and linaloon (a reactive fragrance compound from lavender) plus eraniol (geranium extract) and isoeugenol (ylang ylang fragrance extract) make it highly fragranced and potentially reactive. Unfortunate because lavender is only added for francrance and could cause a rash/reaction and has no benefit for the skin. I will keep it but not reorder in the future. I wouldn't get it if you have sensitive skin or fragrance allergy.

If your main goal for using a facial mask is to hydrate the skin and shrink pores, this is a good choice. Yes, it does help to clean, but that doesn't seem to be its main goal. Moisturizing is what this does best. I noticed also that it was very good at shrinking my pores. That gave my skin a nice smooth look. Don't worry about ending up with a turmeric orange face. That won't happen at all. Has me wondering how much turmeric may, in fact, actually be in this pure white mask. It takes a bit to rinse away this mask, but once you do, the face looks healthy; albeit, I found oddly a bit chalky. Not dry, but not really what I'd call glowing. That's when you start to apply the rest of your face care regime. Suspect that this mask would be great for those with oily skin, though seems good for all skin types.

moisturising but no other soothing or clearups noticed on the face after application for several weeks. couldnt wait for it finish

It’s a bit harsh. The formula seems off.
