Hello guys, back with another sheet mask review. Since one of Instagram followers requested me to do a review on the Guardian Pony Brown mask, how could I say no! Ps: I do hear and do it for you guys, so let me know if you want me to try out any products. I would say Ponybrown is a well known cartoon character in Korea. It's great to hear Guardian actually collaborated with them! *Happy*

Anyway, let's start the talk on the mask shall we?

The essence is very watery, it drips.


When spread out, it's easily absorbed by the skin since it's very watery.


The mask material is very soft, made from Rayon.
To help you to understand the sheetmask material better: (From worse to best)
*Non-woven fiber – Cheapest, difficult mobility, low capacity to deliver serum into your skin.
*Cottons – Inexpensive, difficult mobility, low capacity to deliver serum into the skin (but better than the non-woven fiber)
*Pulp – Finer texture than fiber mask, the fit of a pulp mask will be a bit uneven, with gaps noticeable between the mask and your skin (adhesion loss). As with a fiber mask, the serum in a pulp mask will evaporate fairly quickly. (Rayon falls here)
*Hydrogel – Little pricey, great absorption system, gel-type consistency, two separate parts (top and bottom) to apply on face, difficult mobility, fits the shape of the face well
*Bio cellulose – Expensive, all-natural material, adheres to the skin well, better absorption properties, comfortable mobility.

Does it does what it claims?
Claims: Enriched with Paeonia Lactiflora, Peony Root, Cnidium Officinale Root, and Bletilla Striata Root, damaged skin is repaired and moisturised, ensuring softer, smoother, and healthier skin.
I'm having rather sensitive skin these days. Since it's a repairing mask plus it's a black mask, I decided to try out this one. With it's soothing ingredients, I had faith in it haha! Plus the Cosdna results was great, it shows low irritants. My skin did felt smoother after use but I did not see any brightening effect, my skin still looks quite dull.
+ Skin has a reaction 2 days later. Read on below for latest update.
