Good Night White Sleeping Mask Tube
I adore products with niacinamide because I'm sadly acne-prone and that pretty much means I have inflammation and hyperpigmentation on my face at any given time, and this awesome ingredient works to heal breakouts faster and lighten the dark aftermath.
______
I'm a huge fan of Mizon products because they tend to have minimal acne triggers, good ingredients and reliable results for decent prices. It was a no-brainer to add theirs Good Night White Sleeping Mask to my routine and with niacinamide as such a prominent ingredient I figured I was hitting two birds with one stone!
______
The Good Night White Sleeping Mask is meant to be a final product that layers over the essences, serums, creams, etc in a nighttime routine, sealing all the previous layers in and increases their efficacy.
Immediately after opening I could detect a sharp smelling odor that reminds me of hairspray but it faded quickly. I'm surprised because most Mizon products I've used have no odor, so this was a miss for me. Maybe it's the alcohol ingredient? I'm also not loving that some coloring was added. (It's just a sleeping mask! Why does it need to be pigmented?!)
______
The blue gel texture is very spreadable and so quick to absorb, even over multiple skincare products.
I started off applying this sleep mask twice a week as reccomend.
The first week of use was as expected. My skin was softer and felt more hydrated on the days I was using it. My under eye areas were plumper and I couldn't wait to spread the news. However...
______
At the end of the first week of using it I unfortunately started seeing my chin become rougher with closed comedones emerging and slowly becoming an active war zone for acne.
______
My guess is that my face disliked the alcohol ingredient and maybe the dimethicone + cyclomethicone combo was too occlusive and pore-clogging for me. Maybe I used too much of the product and it overwhelmed my poor skin.
______
Whatever the reason or combination of issues causing the breakouts I'm going to pass on using this Good Night White Sleeping Mask on my face again.
One more moisturizer becoming a hand cream.
