Excellent product! I have been using it for three years and keep on recommending it to my family and friends! Great infusion of moisture and I squeeze every bit out of these masks and apply on my face and neck afterwords.

Beautiful Glowing Skin In Minutes!
-04.14.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, gives fast results, the benefits last
This is my favorite mask of all time. After one use, my skin was soft, GLOWING, & completely moisturized. I can only afford to use it twice per month, but it's now part of my routine. I don't have any issues with this falling off my face, like a previous reviewer did (i watch TV & sit still). I simply press it into my skin, wait 30 minutes, remove, then apply any serum that is left in the packages to my skin. I then apply eye cream, go to bed, & wake up to BEAUTIFUL skin!! I have very reactive skin that breaks out easily. This mask is very soothing, & I don't get any clogged pores from it at all. I can't recommend this enough...it's the best! Try it with a Shiseido moisturizer & eye cream.....my skin has never looked this good!

Love, love, LOVE!

Quick Take: soothing, milky, hydrating, luxurious
This product is awesome! If you want to splurge on yourself and buy a product that leaves your skin hydrated and glowing, this is it. I used it once and literally for days after, my skin was dewy, baby soft, glowing, beautiful! Even my brother noticed and he never notices anything. I looked back at pictures from the day I used this mask, and I was amazed at how great my skin looked! And like I said, the results can last for days! And another good thing about this product, it is not messy like other masks! You just apply the upper and lower strips of white fabric (that contain the product on the inside) and toss them when you're done! Or perhaps you can even re-use? So simple. I will definitely be repurchasing and I would advise anyone else to purchase this as well.

Amazed By The Results!
-02.05.13
I ADORE this face mask. My skin was having some major issues (dry patches, blemishes, uneven tone), & after 1 use my skin was restored. It was almost a mini miracle for me! I have sensitive/reactive, blemish-prone skin, & this was very soothing & healing for me. The cost is high, but this is an intensive spa-like treatment (that actually works). I didn't have issues with the mask staying on...just pressed it lightly into my skin, sat down, & watched TV for a half hour. When I removed it, my skin looked totally different & renewed. This is an excellent skincare product.

Quick Take: useless
I don't think this mask did anything and it didn't stay on my face.
I honestly think it's a big waste of money.

Quick Take: intensive, skin-soothing
I got a super dry skin all over my face, just like a rough sandpaper. I used my own creams twice the amount as I normally apply, but they did not soothe my skin. First night I applied this mask, I found my skin was already hydrated. Second night, my skin became normal. I skipped applying it one day and Forth day, after I used the mask I noticed my skin feels soft and smooth. I recommend it strongly to those who do extrem outdoor activities and suffer skin irritation.

The best thing I've ever put on my face
-05.14.11
Quick Take: fine line smoothing, rich, highly effective
I absolutely love these masks. They are easy to apply and I also get a second use out of them after the 15 minutes are up by putting the used mask on my cleavage area as the skin there is fragile. I also make sure that I wear a higher SPF the next day as retinol does make certain sensitive skin more susceptible to sun damage.
These are expensive but considering how well they moisturize and retexturize my skin, I think it's worth it.
The packaging recommends using it 2 to 3 times a week but I would recommend just once a week to maintain optimal results. As some users have remarked, it is better for dry skin than oily. Sometimes areas that have excess oil that are then heavily moisturized can break out in sebaceous bumps. Anyway, before I start off on a tangent, let me summarize: I would suggest using these once a week, getting a second use out of the sheet after using on your face and lastly, try other more affordable retinol products from Shiseido, it is an excellent line.
Thanks!

there's not enough in a box
-01.17.11
Quick Take: intensive, skin-soothing, refreshing, leaves skin supple
I like that it is big enough to cover the entire face and I really do not mind having excess material on my face--it just means more of its active ingredients on my face. When the mask is on, it is a bit cold but it feels like its in action. My favorite thing is when I take off the mask I just circle it all around my face and then massage whatever is left of the liquid (I HIGHLY recommend) as if it were a cleanser so it works really deep into my skin and it leaves my skin really smooth. As far as diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, I am only 24 and Asian so we age pretty gracefully, I haven't seen that part yet. Give me 10 years or so and hopefully using this product will prevent those lines but I must embrace my laugh/smile lines...

Brightens and soothes
-08.28.10
Quick Take: intensive, skin-soothing, refreshing
The first time I used this mask I scared my husband when he saw it on me, but it actually feels very pampering. The smell is light enough and pleasant. Totally puts the glow back into your skin. Normally I would never put a mask this rich on my oily, sensitive skin, but it seems to happily soak it all up. Any extra left over you can massgae in. I use this mask before going to bed and wake up with the new, younger looking skin.

-07.11.10
Quick Take: skin-soothing, refreshing, skin glowing
I actually ran across a box of these at tj maxx so i got them for $16, I already use the white lucent brighting serum and moisterizer which I absoulutley could not live without now. So naturally when I saw the mask i had to give them a try and oh man do they work. Leave it on for 10 min and your face in smoothe, bright and radiant. I also use the excess moisterizer on my neck and hands or put it in a ziplock and use the moisterizer the next day (hey they are expensive why waste). I would highly recommend these and all of the products.

Wow
-02.18.10
Quick Take: skin-soothing
I have never tried anything like this. I am 50 with pretty good skin. I was looking for something that would help the overall look of my skin. This treatment goes on easily and has a nice smell. When the 15 minutes is up, I take the masks and rub them on the backs on my hands and my neck. While I really like my skin following the treatment (pores are refined, skin texture is soft and silky, the benefits don't last long (maybe a couple of days).

These masks are AWESOME!
-02.02.10
Quick Take: refreshing, intensive, a nice treat for my skin
After getting hooked on the eye masks from the same Shiseido line, I decided to splurge and buy a box of this, and like the eye masks, they are awesome! I try to space them out, because they are so expensive, and use an upper face mask one night, and the lower face mask the next, because i found there is an overlap, no point in wasting such an expensive mask! After i do the masks, i find my face (at least half of it) is so much softer.
