My Skin Type: I've got oily, acne prone skin which can be sensitive at times. In my battle with hormonal cystic acne I'm often left with red, angry looking post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation regardless of whether I pick at the pimple or not. I tend to look for sheet masks that calm, soothe, and brighten my skin.

My Thoughts
As far as the fit and scent of the mask it's similar to the two other mask reviews I've linked above, but I'll regurgitate what I wrote in the previous post. There's a light, floral scent which isn't my favorite but I don't mind it. It's lightly fragranced so it shouldn't bother you too much. Leaders masks have a wide fit in general and this one is no different. The mask fits my face quite well; I just wish it were a little longer.

The mask can be difficult to place on to your face if you're not used to bio-cellulose masks. Open carefully and remember there is a protective film on each side of the mask. There is plenty of essence on the mask and left over in the pouch for a few more uses. Thankfully the essence in this Pore Minimizing Mask is not sticky.

I removed the mask after 25 minutes and the essence absorbed nicely into my skin after 5 minutes or so. I found this hydrated my skin nicely but not to the point where my skin felt unusually oily. I also did not need to apply moisturizer afterwards and woke up with moisturized skin the next morning. Dryer skin types will need to continue on with serum, moisturizer, ect. but oily skin types can get away with just using this mask for hydration.

Final Thoughts
Let's take a look at the claims...visibly refines pores and smooths rough texture. I do feel like this mask minimized the pores on and around my nose just a little bit and smoothed out the texture in that area. Probably not something someone else would notice but, upon closer inspection in the mirror, I did see a slight difference. The other claim is to soothe troubled and irritated skin. The mask definitely soothed the larger acne bumps on my face so I would say this claim is also true. All in all, the Leaders 7 Wonders Himalayan Camellia Pore Minimizing Mask is another thumbs up for me and lives up to its claims. The only dud out of the three 7 Wonder masks I've tried is the Acai Anti-Pollution Mask.
