[medicube] Hypochlorous Acid Peel Mask 13ml*3EA

I have seen these masks all over social media. Absolutely exciting to have gotten to test these out. And I love almost everything I have tried or used by Medicube. I would like to say a mask is pretty straightforward, but honestly I was slightly confused. My fault. I just failed to read the directions. There is two peel off layers and the mask is sandwiched in the middle. So once you peel the fabric type layer off it exposes the mask. It is more of a plastic rubber type feeling. That's what confused me, I thought it was the backing to throw out. Once you toss on the mask, remove the other layer of cloth like backing. It says to leave on for 30 minutes or until it dries out. For me I noticed it started coming away from my skin in spots at about 20 minutes. I did however let it stay on for 30 because most areas were not dried out yet. The mask texture is what I found to be bothersome. I felt like I was wearing a latex mask. Again not the masks fault, I just have issues with some textures. The directions tell you that you can soak the used mask in water, and it will show you all the gunk it pulled out. No thanks. I didn't care to try that part. But I could also feel my face felt dry but not dried out. And I could actually see the difference in the pores of around and on my nose. I also had what I thought was a pimple and after removing the mask and looking at my skin, I was actually able to see that it was not. My little bump had been exposed enough after the mask, that I was able to see it was actually a little chin hair that looked to be ingrown. And now that it was exposed, I was able to pull it. I was expecting to wake up with it being irritated looking or possibly worse. But my morning my bump was gone and the spot looked clean. No irritation from pulling it. While I don't think detecting ingrown hairs is the selling point to these masks, it was definitely a pleasant bonus. It just proves to me that these masks really get down in there and pull gunk out. Or in my case, a hair to the surface.

Amazing…just amazing!

At first I was honestly a little confused about how to use this mask. It looks like a thicker sheet with what feels like non-woven fabric on both sides, so my first instinct was to just put the whole thing on my face. But something felt off.

Then I checked the instructions again and realized the actual mask is a super thin sheet sandwiched between two thicker layers. You’re supposed to peel off one of the thicker backing sheets, place the thin sheet onto your face, and then remove the other backing layer. Once you do that, the mask lays down really tightly against your skin, almost like a second skin.

So just to be clear — you’re NOT supposed to put the thick sheets on your face. Those are just backing layers.

The product description didn’t explain that very well, so I was definitely confused at first. But once I figured it out and peeled the layers properly, it worked perfectly.

Also, this isn’t one of those super soaked, dripping sheet masks filled with tons of ampoule. Instead, it’s more about the ultra-thin sheet that adheres really closely to your skin, which I actually ended up loving.

In the end, I’m really impressed with it. Once you use it the right way, it fits amazingly well and feels great on the skin. Definitely a pleasant surprise!
