LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask_EX

A classic that suits oily skin too

"The Laneige Water Sleeping Mask comes in a 70 ml jar with a beautiful blue packaging and a spoon for hygienic application. It has a gel-like texture, but is not sticky at all. I have oily skin, so gel creams often make my face even more oily, but not this one."

Naomi W. · Korean Skincare UK

Works like magic for dry skin

"This worked like magic for me. My skin was very dry and stressed. After just 4-5 nights of using this mask, my skin was healed and hydrated. It has been just over a month now and I still love the results."
