Hi pandas,

how are you doing? For me, my second year in my Masters program will start very soon. Time is flying.

Cosdna didn't show any large red flags for both products. I didn't break out from them either, but as always, be careful and look out for ingredients that your skin doesn't agree with.

When Cosrx came out with these sleeping packs, I immediately ordered them and have been using both of them regularly since then.

The packaging of both is very simple and very much "Cosrx-like". It has a white plastic packaging with a blue (rice version)/ orange (honey version) sticker and a black cap. The cap of the honey one is not really closing sometimes, that's kinda meh.

The consistency of both is rather different. The honey one is an orangy, rather sticky gel while the rice one is a white cream. The rice one does feel a tad bit richer but both absorb rather fast.

I can't really notice any strong or distinctive scent for both of them, maybe a bit "creamy".

I have been liking the honey mask on days when I had a bit of trouble with my skin and the rice one when I felt like I needed some extra moisture. Both made my skin feel smooth and very nice in the morning and both feel light enough for me to not feel like my skin is "suffocating" under the product, especially in awfuly humid summer in Japan. I couldn't really see a lot of brightening with the rice version but I didn't buy it for that purpose so I do not really mind.

Pros: lightweight, absorb fast, moisturize well

Cons:could be "too boring", the cap of the honey one doesn't fully close

Overall: 4.5/5
