Packaging:


From the illustration, we can see the little people are literally putting the pipe on the root to extract the goodness of it and another one is lifting the roots... So the manufacturers are really extracting the main ingredients from the real plants I guess? Yeah. That should be it. hehe 

The brown hues are used I guess to reflect the colour of the Red Ginseng root. 


Wanna see the real one?


Is it my imagination but it looks like a big guy is holding the girl while saving her from drowning...with a big wedding dress? LOL that's what design school does to you. 

Found an interesting facts on the main ingredient!

Verdict:



Like other masks, the essence is in milky white colour, the consistency is thicker than water but still runny like water. 

Overall, I like how the mask has the same effect as the Pomegranate one, leaving my skin so soft, supple to touch and I can feel the firmness. But of course the effect is temporary but yeah, this is part of treating yourself from the hard day at work/study, right? So, I'm cool with it. ^__^

But the herbal scent totally send me back to Etude House I Need You Honey Wash-Off Masks! But not as strong which is a good thing. 

Final verdict: 5/5. Totally love this one! So yes, I'm going to repurchase it if it's still available but as you probably know, this I Need You line mask sheets has been replaced with the Alphabets Mask Sheets. :)

This mask sheet is retailed at RM6.90 but I got this during the Etude House Buy 1 Free 1 Merdeka Sale from 30th August to 1st of September so I got this as a freebie with the purchase of Pomegranate one. :)

I guess that's all for now! So far, 3 out of 6 challenges completed so please look forward to the next mask sheet to be reviewed, okay! Annyeong~
