Review (5/5): The LED aspect explained & my experience with these masks 🎭 (spoiler alert: I LOVE them!)
THIS IS A LENGTHY REVIEW, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH THE READ:
Avajar is a k-beauty skincare manufacturer out of Seoul, Korea, closely affiliated with the K-pop group, Super Junior, who is the face of the brand. Avajar, as a company, has been making face products since 2019, with a focus on offering quality ingredients at a fair price. In this particular product they have created (a series of) sheet masks that contain the same cream as their LED Ring Light Cream Moisturizer. The original LED Ring Light Cream Moisturizer is pictured here on the sheet mask packaging. That moisturizer actually comes with a mini LED light on top of the jar, which was designed to be used as the product applicator. The LED cream in a jar was a top seller for Avajar, and so they expanded on the delivery system to include sheet masks. With all that being said, these masks do not come with an LED light (but if you already have one of your own, you could certainly use it with this product). I just wanted to pass this info along to clear up the confusion surrounding the marketing terms used on these masks.
For context: My skin is dry and dehydrated, very sensitive and product reactive. I have not experienced any issues from using these masks, outside of some temporary erythemia (a.k.a. skin flushing, which I experience regularly). These masks are formulated without any artificial colors, fragrance, silicons, and parabens. This is not to say these masks are fragrance free, because they absolutely have a scent. The smell is rather herbal to me, which I believe is attributed to fruit and flower essences used in the cream. All Avajar products are made in a cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) certified lab. However, I do not see any claims of cruelty-free status, neither on the package nor on their website.
I do self care Sundays every week and will wear a sheet mask for 30 minutes while I relax in bed. Putting this mask on is pretty messy. You'll want to apply it over your bathroom sink because the cream is on the watery side and will drip everywhere. There is a generous amount of the cream essence inside the package and on the mask. The sheet mask material is super thin and hugs the contours of my face well. It's a nice size and sticks well, so you can actually wear one and move about, without having it lift or slide all over. After 30 minutes I peel the mask off and massage the remaining product into my skin. There isn't any stickiness and the cream absorbs nicely. My skin feels baby soft, supple, and deeply moisturized each time I use one. These masks come in a box of 5 and there's 3 formulas to choose from - Hydrating {blue} (which is the one I got), Whitening {yellow}, and Nourishing {red}. I have really enjoyed using these in my weekly sheet masks rotation. The price is extremely reasonable for such great quality. I love the results I've gotten and I recommend them entirely! I just purchased the Nourishing set and will definitely repurchase these hydrating masks when I run out.
