It has one of the most poetic descriptions, which always makes me lol a little – “makes skin look bright and radiant with the freshness of the sea.” Move over, mermaid makeup – this mask promises you mermaid skin. 

When I tried this mask this week, I had a couple of small hormonal pimples brewing on my chin, but immediately after I noticed they were not as noticeable, and by the end of the day they had all but dried out. I also notice that when I use this mask I break out less afterwards than usual. It delivers nicely on the brightening promise — I feel like my acne scars are less prominent, though not as much as when I use the lemon mask. 

The serum itself doesn’t smell seawater-y or vegetal – out of all the serums, this one has the least noticeable scent. The serum is runny and the mask feels cooling when worn, a bit like the aloe mask. I would recommend this mask for anyone with acne-prone skin in a heartbeat. 

Pomegranate

Sheet mask

So, I don’t know if it’s because I’m using these sheet masks more frequently or if the weather is finally getting warmer, but my skin is looking kinda fly – at least flyer than it normally does. I’ve noticed less redness, fewer breakouts, and a more even skin tone. 

Since normally my sheet mask adventures revolve around me taming acne, I decided to go for the Elasticity Pomegranate mask. 

This is another one of the masks that I never use or end up giving away to friends. The pomegranate mask promises to “firm up skin,” which I associated with aging skin rather than acne-prone skin, but for the sake of science, I’m here to give it a go. 

First off – this mask smells uhh-mazing, it’s my favorite scent so far. Best of all, it’s not too crazy fruity or sweet, like many pomegranate scents can be. There’s a bit of that here, but it’s not overpowering. Get me a candle of this mask, STAT!
