does it work?? oh k! hyaluronic acid hydrogel mask

Some days are meant for face masks. Lots on your to do list? Exhausted by the end of the night? There is no better way to treat yourself than with a little skin care. Face masks tend to be a quick and easy way to pamper yourself and give your skin a little bit of a boost. Recently, I tried the Oh K! Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Mask with Vitamin B3 and Sea Kelp. This mask is designed to hydrate and plump the skin. Sounds appealing, right? I've tried a few other products from Oh K! in the past. To be honest, some have been good and some have been a little lackluster. Ready to find out how this particular skin care item performed? If it lives up to the claims? Here is everything you need to know about this hydrogel mask from Oh K! 

There are some pros and cons to consider when it comes to the Oh K! Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Mask. First off, let's start with the product claims. According to the brand, this is an intensely hydrating mask that is perfect for skin that "needs a nourishing boost." It includes hyaluronic acid (draws water from the air to hydrate the skin), vitamin B3 niacinamide (to regulate oil production, protect the skin's moisture barrier, and help with hyperpigmentation), and seaweed (hydrating). The seaweed extracts are designed to make the skin appear brighter and more youthful. Always a bonus! Now for those pros and cons...

Pros:

• The face mask has a beautiful iridescent kind of finish. It looks really pretty! 
• It leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated. I definitely noticed a difference.
• The scent is a bright floral, which is rather pleasant and makes it easier to feel relaxed.

Cons:

• The mask itself is somewhat difficult to put on. It comes in two separate pieces. However, unlike the two-piece JLo Beauty version, this doesn't have any loops that go around the ears. So, there are just two separate face mask pieces that are slipping and sliding around on the face. The lower half was especially challenging to keep in place.
• This mask is ultra slimy to the touch. Unlike other face masks I've used, which are made from some sort of cotton, this had a gel consistency. The end result was something slippery and slimy to the touch.

So...does it work?? Sort of. The Oh K! Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Mask lives up to the claims, since it did a wonderful job of hydrating the skin. The scent also made it really easy to relax and unwind. That being said, the two piece mask is a little more complex than it needs to be. Plus, the consistency was really unpleasant. All in all, this was a decent product and I would not be opposed to using it again However, I would likely seek out something different in the future if given the choice. 

Have you tried this face mask? Are you a fan of Oh K! products?
