I LOOOVVVEEE this cream. I apply it after my serum (I have a super basic beauty routine) and let it set for a few minutes before applying primer or my bb cream (I don’t do foundation, only foundation serums or bb creams with good spf). Immediately after applying it I can’t tell anything except that my skin feels moisturized. However, 5 minutes later my skin looks so good! I have a lot of splotchy redness, especially on one cheek, and this stuff makes it diminish so that it is barely noticeable. It’s mattifying, pore shrinking, and adds a glow that looks healthy instead of shiny (I find the “glow” of most products is just shine - not the same thing). I often don’t wear makeup after applying this cream because my skin ends up looking so good! If I have a big zit or extra redness for some reason I would still use other makeup, but in the summer when my skin is relatively calm I don’t need it after using this.
The only downside I have with this product is the price. I generally get the mini size at ulta because I can’t just drop $50 all at once (I know, I’m probably losing value but I just can’t do it unless I have a ton of extra cash for some reason - which is almost never). The product, even in the sample/mini size, does last a very long time. I don’t need much of it despite having a relatively big head and therefore face (ha!) and I use it on my neck as well!
For reference: I have fair and super freckled skin (true ginger), I get red patches on my right cheek and any scarring I get from zits is usually red :( , I have very sensitive skin. While I generally only break out while pmsing I have found that many moisturizers and other products will give me a break out or give me teeny blackheads on my nose. So I am always excited to find a product that appears to work well with my poor sensitive skin!

I purchased this item a few months back after discovering other TONYMOLY products and now it is a staple in my skin care routine. I’ve only used the black therapy pack (not sure if there are others) but after rinsing I notice any blemishes are reduced in redness, my pores are practically nonexistent (I have average pores, not huge but definitely noticeable - especially if I haven’t been taking good care of my skin), my skin feels baby soft! I also have combination skin, dry forehead (I live in a very dry climate and in the winter I get flaky skin on my forehead) but somewhat oily-ish nose area.
I use this product as a spot treatment for the hormonal cystic acne I get around my mouth and chin and it’s been super helpful. While it doesn’t immediately get rid of acne it does immediately reduce my acne in size and redness. I’ve also found my acne scars are reducing, however I can’t 100% say this product has done that - I do feel that it has helped, though. Oh! And my skin doesn’t get dried out like it does with so many other masks. I was almost shocked at how baby soft my skin was after using this product! For someone with super sensitive skin I am impressed.
Feeling of mask: it definitely tingles, and in the winter when I’ve been blowing my nose all day (thanks winter allergies! :/ ) the tingling occasionally feels like burning for 30 seconds around my nose creases while the mask settles and dries. However, this burning sensation has not resulted in irritated or red skin after removing mask. I think my nose just gets super sensitive because I have to blow it so often when it’s cold out :(
For reference: I have fair pale skin with lots of freckles (full ginger), I am 32 and generally don’t have acne unless I’m pms-ing, my skin (without product intervention) is often dry and uneven in tone. I also have very sensitive skin and marks/scars become visibly irritated easily.
