The mask is advertised to moisturize and provide nutrition to the skin. As well as containing aloe to soothe the skin. The ingredients list looks nice with Sodium Hyaluronate, Beta-glucan, hydrolyzed collagen, and various extracts like camellia, witch hazel, centella asiatica, and bergamot. The monkey is just the added bonus of looking silly while masking.
I opened it up and was eager to try it. But OMG, that smell is TERRIBLE! I wanted to punch my nose so I don't smell it. It's pungent and got a bitter note to it, I don't know how to describe the scent. I really didn't want to put it on my face since the smell just makes me gag. But I prevailed and put it on my face. Thankfully, the scent isn't AS bad as it appears in the package. I can still smell it, but it's just not as bad. I really wouldn't wish this upon anyone.

The recommended time is 15 to 20 minutes and I have taken it off at 25 minutes mark. The mask was still very moist so it could possibly went on longer. But that scent. I can smell it very clearly the whole time and can feel it at the back of my nose. I just needed to take that OFF of my face before a headache is fully kicked in.
The leftover essence make my face feel slightly dewy and sticky. But that scent lingered. Yes, it effing lingered and led to an effing headache. Mark me unhappy camper #1. It really smelled like I had melted rubber or plastic on my face. It's not a pleasant scent at all. I think it did calm down my skin, but honestly, that scent was just too overpowering for me to notice anything else.
If you have gotten to this point, and still don't know how I feel about this mask. Well, it's a clear "STAY AWAY!!". Just save yourself the assault on the nose and spend your money on some other less offensive smelling mask that will also soothe your skin.
