J. One Jelly Pack Sheet Masks

I am a texture person. Meaning that I place great store in how something feels to me in my mouth or on my hands. Tapioca is a big ole' nope and my squid needs to be breaded. Unfortunately, it appears that the J. One Jelly Pack Sheet Masks seem to fall into that category. For the texture as well as the scent.

The packets felt like they were made of a high quality cross between paper and foil. Both masks have two steps to them. Step 1 is the sheet mask and Step 2 is the J. One Jelly Pack mask. Possibly due to the purchase price ($4 each) I expected to be wow'ed and pampered. This was unfortunately not the case for either mask.

J. One Jelly Pack Luminous Mask
The J. One Jelly Pack Luminous Mask was the first mask I tried. This mask was designed to tone and moisturize and illuminate your skin. The packet itself was so full of essence that it spattered on the mirror when I ripped the packet open. What can I say, sheet masking excites me. Can you feel my boyfriend rolling his eyes now? When I opened the package and peered inside, I was greeted by a very strong fabric softener like smell that did not dissipate. The mask itself was a thicker black fabric and seemed to create and gather bubbles when It was unfolded.

After a few minutes on my face, there was a little stinging where there had been recent blemishes. I did not leave the mask on for more than 15 minutes as the fragrance was starting to irritate my asthma. I put the Step 2: J. One Jelly Pack mask on after rubbing the essence from the mask in. It lasted for 5 minutes on my face before I washed it off. The pack was a clear, almost odorless jelly. It was thick, had the consistency of honey and was just as difficult to spread. It just felt awful on my skin. Almost like it was suffocating. The next day, wherever I had recently had acne, as well as the spots where acne had been in the last month, it was heavily flakey and dry.

J. One Jelly Pack Vita Mask
The second mask I tried a few days later, was the J. One Jelly Pack Vita Mask. The purpose of this mask was to moisturize and take care of wrinkles. At this point I was wary of this product. I already knew I would not be doing the J. One Jelly Pack portion of this mask, but I was hoping for a little better outcome than the Luminous Mask. Nope.

This mask was a thicker white fabric similar to baby wipes and still had the fabric softener scent, but it was not as prominent. This mask seemed to sting in dry areas where I need to spread my moisturizer better, such as just under my chin and in front of my ears. Instead of momentarily stinging like the last mask, the stinging increased. After five minutes, I aborted my mission and washed my face. Extra snail care was needed that night, and I was still an oily mess the next morning.

The verdict: Nopenopenopenopenope. I had high hopes for these masks, but I was sadly disappointed. The J. One Jelly Mask is such a big hit right now, I wanted it to work. Sadface. I hope these masks work for other people, as I can see potential in their design. Just not for me.
