Tosowoong Dr. Troubex Sparkling Mask Review

Product Description: Provides intensive relief to irritated and troubled skin. The mask contains centella asiatica extract and aloe vera leaf extract which both work as perfect anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents to help the skin recover. It is also specially formulated to aid with redness and keep the skin’s hydration levels balanced.

FYI, 까지 means until so the mask is good until August 2016.

How to Use: After cleansing and toning, place the mask on your face. Remove the mask after 10-20 minutes and pat in the remaining essence.

Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Peg/Ppg-17/6 Copolymer, Bifida Ferment Filtrate, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Rh-Oligopeptide-1, Carbonated Water (100 ppm), Larix Sibirica Wood Extract, Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract, Rheum Palmatum Root/Stalk Extract, Asarum Sieboldi Root Extract, Quercus Mongolia Leaf Extract, Persicaria Hydropiper Extract, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Corydalis Turtschaninovii Root Extract, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Machilus Thunbergii Bark Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Dimethyl Sulfone, Allantoin, Betaine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Arginine, Disodium EDTA, Adenosine, Salicylic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Perfume
According to CosDNA, there are no irritants in the mask and the only acne trigger is the Butylene Glycol.

Price: I purchased the Tosowoong mask from Memebox for $1.50 and the retail value is listed as $3. You can also find them at RoseRoseShop for 25,000 won in a set of 10 masks and Korea Depart for $29.95 also as a set of 10. I suggest ordering the mask from Memebox if you're interested since they have the best price and shipping is much faster.

My Skin Type: I have 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: The mask has a light floral scent which doesn't linger around for long. It smells like a perfume I can't quite place. Drives me nuts when I can't properly describe a scent!

The fit is definitely on the wider side. I'm usually grumbling about sheet masks not covering the sides of my lower face. This one was a little too wide so I had to fold over part of the mask at the forehead and the sides.

The sheet is on the thicker side so it was very easy to unfold and place on the face. There's a good amount of essence on the mask but it's not overly drenched like I've seen with other masks. I was able to use the left over essence in the pouch two more times the next day.

The area around my eyes was a little itchy during the 20 minutes I wore the mask but it wasn't unbearable. I really liked how my skin was sufficiently hydrated after the mask. Most masks are too hydrating for me and I usually don't have to continue on with the rest of my skin care. This Tosowoong mask is great for anyone with oily/combination acne prone skin. I did notice that some of my chin acne appeared less red an hour or so later. AND, the next morning my chin acne looked like small dots that could easily be covered. They literally shrunk in size overnight. I will definitely pick up some more of the Dr. Troubex Sparkling Masks for future breakouts and I highly recommend it to anyone that is suffering from irritated skin or acne (even hormonal).
