Cosrx Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask Review - First 2017 Empty!

That's it. I finally finishes off my Cosrx Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask (that's a mouthful) today. Spoiler: I really really really like it. I bought this sleeping mask from Hermo, and it costs me about RM45.

What it is: The Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask is a gel type sleeping mask that acts as an occlusive to prevent your skin from losing its moisture overnight. You just apply a sleeping mask as the last step of your nightly skincare, and rinse whatever residue left the next morning.

Cosrx also marketed this product as a 3 in 1 beauty product, so apart from using it as a sleeping pack, you can also use it as a daily moisturizer and a wash off mask. 

What it claims:  This soothing sleeping mask is enriched with 85% propolis extract and natural beeswax to provide intensive hydration and moisture. 

The gel comes in a 50g jar, but there is no spatula included. For hygienic reason and easier application, I decanted the gel into an airless pump (vacuum pump) bottle that I bought from Daiso, and recycled the tub after people reported that their gel grow mold at the rim of the tub (eek). The gel is in translucent yellow, very lightweight and does not has any strong smell to it. It is not sticky at all and quite soothing when applied. I actually had finished a jar of this sleeping mask and it takes me about 2 and a half month of consistent use (almost every day) to finish it all.

To use it, I spread it on my face thinly and as even as possible as the last step of my skincare routine. It dries pretty fast after 15 minutes or so, and then I just go to sleep and when I woke up, most of the products are absorbed and I just wash off the filmy residue the next morning with some water. 

Notable ingredients: This sleeping mask boasted 85% propolis extract, which has anti bacterial and anti microbial properties that repairs skin texture and smooth it out. This sleeping pack also contains beeswax that helped to prevent moisture losses and moisturize skin. Although the sleeping pack has Honey in its name, it contains no honey at all and probably just to refer to the color of the gel and the "honey" skin goal that it is set to achieve. 

How it performs: My face is noticeably plumper the next morning. Since I have a combination skin, the skin in between my eyebrows sometimes flakes off and I got some oiliness going on my nose and its crevices. I found that those flakes disappears and I am less oily if I wore this before going to sleep the night before. I have used this as a moisturizer before my makeup and I think it works great too as it is very lightweight. However, if your skin is very dry, this product might not be sufficient. I heard that the Cosrx Rice Overnight Mask is better suited if you're looking for intense moisturizing sleeping pack. I haven't use this mask as a wash off pack because it dries down quickly and it will be a waste to wash off a lot of the gel. 

Overall, I'm really happy with this sleeping mask. I will gladly be repurchasing this sleeping pack in the future, although I am still testing out other sleeping masks out there. 8/10 will recommend!
