TonyMoly I’m Real Sheet Masks

As a regular practitioner of Tuesday goo-day, I’ve worn my fair share of sheet masks, my favorite being the TONYMOLY I’m Real sheet masks. 

These popular masks are fairly cheap (especially if you buy them in bulk on Amazon – you’re welcome) and readily available, and the packaging is super cute. The only issue – there are 18 mask types available and most of the text on the packaging is in Korean, which can make figuring out which one to try a crapshoot at best. 

That’s why I’m trying all the TONYMOLY masks for you! I know, I know, I’m a selfless martyr, but I’m willing to take one for the team. 

A note about my skin: I have sensitive and oily skin with adult acne. I’m prone to breakouts, blackheads, scarring, and redness. Fun! These sheet masks have helped me control my adult acne and redness a lot, and they are gentle enough that they don’t irritate my sensitive skin. Because all skin is different, your skin may react differently to these products. 

Here are my reviews for the first five of TONYMOLY’s I’m Real masks: Makgeoli, Broccoli, Lemon, Avocado, and Aloe. 

(For reviews of the other masks, see our posts on Rice, Seaweed, Pomegranate, Red Wine, and Tomato; Green Tea, Cactus, Rose, and Tea Tree; and Pumpkin, Orange, Pearl, and Lotus.)

Makgeoli

Sheet mask

The first mask I used on this fact-finding adventure was the Skin Purifying Makgeoli mask. 

Makgeoli is a traditional Korean drink made from fermented rice – it is slightly sweet, slightly alcoholic, and variants of makgeoli are used in ancestral rites in Korea. Makgeoli contains as many probiotic cultures as 100 cups of yogurt, making it excellent for healthy skin and digestion; some Korean women even apply makgeoli directly to their skin.
