Usually the sleeping masks I know are for moisturizing or oil control. But this sleeping mask targets acne and pimples, and is applied just before you go to bed. I like NuTeen's Oil Away Cool Cleanser so I got suckered into buying this when I was in Watsons. I read quite a lot of good reviews on this product, and the packaging looked really good too, it just called out to me!
It comes in a light-weight plastic tub with a screw-on top lid. It has a green top and white bottom, similar to the type of designs of the other products from NuTeen. Inside it is a light green gel that you have to scoop out with your fingers or a spatula. It is meant to be put on after your night moisturizer. It has a very light consistency, and has a cooling feeling. When you wake up the next day, you can wash your face to rinse off the mask.
It contains salicylic acid to fight the acne-causing bacteria, and works to prevent and cure acne. However, I'm not exactly very impressed with this. It does help to calm down my acne a little bit, but my acne does not go away, even though I put it on every night. It works well if you have those first day pimples, but it does not help to fade acne scars. What I do like about it is that if I have those first day pimples, I can put this on and it will make the white 'head' come out, so that I can squeeze it. This quickens the process, so that the pimple will fade away much more quickly after that. I like the texture and cooling feeling, and I might repurchase this when I finish it. However, because it is only good for first day pimples but not a-few-days-old pimples, I will also be looking out for other products that will help to reduce acne scars.
