I received this product as a sample and it is something I will definitely not be buying for myself.
I read a number of reviews before I tried it, and was excited to use it, however when I did, I was disappointed.
As the name suggests, you're supposed to put it on before you sleep and let it soak in over night. I applied it before bed and my experience is that, other than the lovely smell, it didn't work for me.
The product is very easy to apply and the smell is a very relaxing soft banana smell - very lovely. After application I went to bed and having read the reviews, I prepared myself to experience some sort of discomfort as reviews mentioned it would be for those who aren't used to it. I was prepared for that.
What I wasn't prepared for was the itchiness that I felt afterwards and the longer it stayed on, the itchier it got. I had to remove it in less than an hour. The next day, I got a pimple.
This mask is definitely not for me =(
Oh dear, that sucks! I have sensitive skin as it is so I'm generally more cautious about trying things on my skin, but I haven't had too many bad reactions before, if ever - mostly it leaves me with dry skin, but touch wood, nothing outrageous. This one was definitely the worst - the pimple, I don't mind so much, but the itchiness was really unbareable and it made me worried I would have a bad eczema reaction. After this, I think to be on the safe side, I will stay away from over night masks of this type.
