Review (5/5): soft, comfortable, and effective for eye comfort
I was interested in using this as a cool eye pillow to help deal with swelling and irritation around my face and eyes due to allergies. I followed the instructions on the package, put the mask in a plastic bag, and placed it in the freezer overnight. The pillows exterior is super soft and comfortable even on sensitive skin (I'm 51 and my skin is thin and quite sensitive). The interior is flexible without being too bumpy so it lies smoothly and without too much weight on your face. Mine stayed cold for quite a long time, though it does help to flip it over to the cooler side after awhile.
The lavender scent at first is quite strong, but it doesn't tend to dissipate very far. My husband is sensitive to floral scents and I asked him if he could smell it from across the room and he could not. If you want it to not smell so strongly, you can store it outside of a plastic bag. If you want it to retain more scent, then you can store it in a plastic bag.
Note: I was provided with a sample of this product in order to assess it.
