I have used the blue (whitening), yellow (moisture) and the pink (collagen). These come in a tub with 22 pre-soaked mask sheets, which I bought from bobodave.com : http://www.bobodave.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_89_172
I bought these due to wanting some cheap hydrating masks that's convenient to use. The Kose's only about 160HKD a box so I thought what the hell, might as well get one of each type (though now bobodave stocks the orange ones).
Unlike other Asian mask sheets, these ones dont have much essence, particularly the yellow and pink ones. I share them with my mum and she commented that the yellow masks were really DRY. But she used the top sheets, so maybe the essence sunk into the bottom sheets.
I dont have the ingredients for them, as they are in Japanese and I've already thrown the boxes away but these for sure has alcohol because everytime I open the box, it has a very strong alcohol-y smell. This could be the reason why everytime I use the masks, the very next day my face flakes even more.
The cutting of the sheets arent that good either, as they do not fit most face shapes. In particular, the nose and forehead areas of the sheets are the most awkward.
Although each box states different benefits, I could not see them on my skin. The yellow masks do not moisturise my skin and the whitening masks dont whiten either. I really could not see what these masks are for. But on the plus side, they did not cause any breakouts though the pink ones made my skin slightly itchy upon application, but goes away in a few minutes.
In terms of application, for those who are unfamiliar with mask sheets- you unfold the white sheets and lay them on your face. Wait 5-20 minutes and peel and bin the sheet. Then according to your own skin and your preference, you could either massage the essence into the skin and apply your other products or wash the essence off. |

Thanks for the thorough review!
I would be weary of anything with too much alcohol content that is drying your skin- it will most likely cause some pre-mature aging. |

I find that most Asian products contain alcohol. But for this mask, I cant be so sure as I couldnt read the ingredients list. But it really does dry out the skin  |
