Review of Jayjun’s Rose Blossom Mask

JAYJUN is a Korean brand that was created in 2014, their goal is to help people obtain brighter, healthier and more beautiful skin. Their Rose Blossom Mask is designed to nourish and moisturize tired skin from external environments. Key ingredients include: 1% rose water (anti-inflammatory, soothing, anti-redness, antioxidant, antibacterial, moisturizing, refreshing), sodium hyaluronate (anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, hydrating, moisturizing, healing) and allantoin (softening, soothing, protecting, stimulates new cell growth). This product retails for between $1-3 USD, you can get it here for $4.35 + free shipping.

Ingredients

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water (1%), Sodium Hyaluronate, Beta-Glucan, Betaine, Allantoin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polysorbate 20, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

This mask contains 25 ml (0.84 oz) and has a lovely, light rose scent.

The mask is very soft and has a slightly rosy color due to the essence. The eyes, nose and mouth holes fit well and it adheres well and stays on your face until you want to remove it.

Recommended use is after cleansing, take the mask sheet out and apply it evenly across your face. Peel mask from face after 10 to 20 minutes and gently pat the leftover essence onto your face. After using, I think it's important to note that this mask has a pretty noticeable rose fragrance. I think, however, that it's pretty gentle and might be suitable to sensitive skin types. The essence in this mask is very plentiful and soothing on the skin. The mask itself is comfortable to wear and it easily helps the essence to soak into your skin. After removing this mask, my skin felt very soft and smooth and it helped to brighten and hydrate my skin. It was really soothing and pleasant to use. However, if you don't like fragrance, it's best to avoid this mask. I would recommend this to people who need something hydrating and brightening.

What I like: I love how soft and soothing this mask is as well as the rose fragrance. I can't get enough of rose scents, to be honest. The ingredients are nice and there aren't any irritants. It's got a nice and short ingredient list. It's very hydrating and brightening as well. What I don't like: the fragrance is possibly problematic.

Pros:

Hydrating

Brightening

Uh oh, Black Friday is next week! So many things will be on special, what should you buy? To help you out I’ve spent two months trying all sorts of Korean face masks (because those are usually on sale during seasonal promotions)! All the face masks reviewed here are less than $2USD for each sheet, and when on sale should be comfortably affordable.

First up I got the famous JayJun! I used both for around 20 minutes, before peeling off the sheet and letting the essence dry for an hour, then rinsing off the residue with cold water (please don’t use hot water, that defeats the purpose of masks). Most of Jayjun’s masks come in 3 steps, and what is included with the mask gives a good indication of what the mask is supposed to do. 

The orange one is the OG/classic version. It comes with step 1 cleansing foam and step 2 activating serum to be used before the mask. The colour of the mask is black, and the serum is a thick watery texture. The sheet is medium-thick but fits to my face quite well. I like this mask quite a lot, but the smell is a little weird...something like wet socks? I don’t know, it’s a little unpleasant, but for the great effects it has on skin, it’s worth it.

The pink one comes with step 1 activating essence before the mask and step 3 eye cream after the mask. It is advertised as an anti-aging and tightening mask, designed to restore skin elasticity and moisture. I give this mask a BIG thumbs up! I’m only in my early 20′s and don’t really care for aging skin products, but this mask really does restore the skin barrier and makes your face smooth afterwards. It smells nice, like generic face creams. The essence is a little thicker than the orange one, and takes a little longer to dry.
