I have been so excited to review this product for you all. However, it is hard to provide an honest review without using a particular product for a little while.

I have given myself a week of daily use of the product before writing this review.

The bottom line is:- ‘I will be repurchasing this product, I just fell in love with it!’

You might recall from this post that my skintone had dry patches. I would say those that have dry patches or need that extra oomph this is the one for you. I have had no new spots since I have started to use it, not sure if that is related but please do remember what works for me may not work for you. Like most of us, my face swells up during the night and the last couple of mornings I have noted that my face looks less swollen. It just looks really plump and nourished rather than swollen.

Since becoming obsessed with Asian beauty products, I have been experimenting with a number of products. The Skinfood Tomato sleeping pack didn’t do it for me nor did the Skinfood Royal Honey hydro cream which I believed was thick enough to use a sleeping mask. Both left me with an angry rash. I have however, come to realise that my skin just loves loves anything bee related through other products. So propolis, royal jelly, bee venom, honey…you name it, my skin loves it. I will not go in to too much details about the acclaimed benefits of each but propolis is the first listed ingredient of this mask and generally it is said to be a mild antibacterial and helps wounds heal. It is also an anti-inflammatory.

The package itself states:-

Enriched with more than 85% of propolis extract and natural bees wax, this mask provides intensive hydration with refreshing moisture.

It really does look good enough to eat! (Don’t be silly enough to taste it though!)

It even strings like really honey, it’s a very light easily to spread texture. Winter is harsh here in the UK and any sleeping mask I can use daily gets a permanent spot on my vanity table.

This product came at the right time for me as I am currently purging from using actives like OST vitamin C serum and Cosrx AHA Whitehead. I felt like it soothed my skin and gave it a much needed hug.

As you know, I have come to love Cosrx as a brand themselves and I owe quite a few products from them now. However, both the sleeping mask and the propolis ampule were sent to me by Cosrx for review purposes.

When I first started to purchase Asian Beauty products, Cosrx made things a lot less complicated for me by keeping most of their ingredient list very short allowing me to try products whilst being clear on ingredients

This product’s Ingredient list is no exception:-

Needless to say please do not use the product if you are allergic to any of those ingredients and the obligatory patchtest talk applies.

When to use it and how much?

As the name may give away, this is the final step in your evening routine. You can use as much or as little as you want. I tend to use the size of a ten pence coin…yes the name onepence has no place here 😉

Look at the consistency though, you can put on even a very light layer after your moisturizer in the morning as an oclusive. It does get a bit sticky but it sinks in well on my skin and fast too.

I only use it at night, but I have been using it every night since for a week after the Cosrx propolis light ampule and I have to say, my skin is loving the combination.

Rating: 5/5

1 – What a disaster, section of the crime scene.

2 – Well, not what I expected probably will give it away.

3 – It will do and I will finish this bottle.

4 – Hubba Hubba, me likey but I want see other products. It’s not you it’s me.
