Hi dear!
Time ago, when I reviewed these samples by Kiehl's, I anticipated you that I made a mistake buying a mask...well, this mask! This is the Kiehl's Cialantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Mask.
When I was in the shop the consultant says me that it is necessary a little quantity product for all the face, to wait 15 mins and then to remove the mask.
On the bottle it is written to just remove the excess and leave a thin layer..
My experience: the consultant was right. It is better to remove *well* all the traces of product, maybe with a gentle tonic like the one by Yves Rocher.
The point is that this mask is super greasy and even if you will remove the excess..your faces will remain greasy and sticky. This is not what someone want before going to bed...right?
Moreover, this mask badly interacts with solar exposure. I read that the mask contains alpha hidroxy acid that can enhance skin sensibility to radiations.. and it can favor sunburn!
So, I used this mask only in winter..
All considered I rate this product 5/10 because it is not the right product for me. The ingredients are good, see the list below.
This protective facial mask defends and replenishes skin to help reduce the visible effects of pollution.
Formulated with Cilantro and Orange Extract, our treatment mask helps skin feel strengthened against environmental aggressors while helping to prevent impurities from adhering to skin.
With continued use, dull, unhealthy looking skin is renewed, radiant and protected.
How To Apply:
Apply a visible layer of our pollutant-defending face mask after cleansing and moisturizing.
Leave on for 5 minutes and tissue off.
Pat in excess, leaving a thin protective layer on skin to work overnight.
Recommended for use three times per week at night.
