Claim to Fame: No animal testing, no gluten, no parabens, no sulfates.  This product is recommended for dry, aging, and stressed skin.  

Overall Impression: The very first thing I noticed was the thickness of the mask.  I turned the container upside down and the product didn't budge.  I applied it with soft facial brush.  This mask dried rapidly and transparent.  I allowed it to stay on for the recommended time of 15 - 20 minutes and removed it with a steamed towel.  Product comes off easily and I was loving the way my skin felt afterwards.  It left my skin feeling really moist, soft, and supple.  My skin really soaked up the hydration provided from using this mask.  Price wise is this tad on the pricey side and seems easier to obtain online. The scent was subtle and definitely tolerable.  Now I'm going to breakdown what I like about the ingredients in this product.  There were a few that stuck out to me:

Saccharide Isomerate- humectant & skin conditioning agent

 

Symphytum Officinate Extract (Comfrey Root)- contains allantoin which is a botanical extract that is said to have healing, calming, and soothing properties 

 

Glyceryl Stearate- gives a pleasant feel to the skin

 

Algae Extract- active substance for moisture content; also provides suppleness and firmness 

 

Xylitol- humectant & skin conditioning agent 

 

Phenyl Trimethicone- leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth; has emollient properties 

 

I felt these were key ingredients that made my skin feel marvelous.  I also tried it as a moisturizer but I decided I liked it better as a mask.  I love trying new masks and this one definitely did not disappoint.
