To my surprise this mask is a peel off mask! I don't typically use these, but this particular one is very gentle and doesn't leave my eyes watering upon removal like most of them do. It has a thick white serum texture that dries to a clear rubbery finish, then conveniently peels off in a single sheet with no mess! My skin has been quite flaky lately from an IPL Photofacial I had recently to help with my rosacea, and this mask has been a lifesaver at gently removing all of the dead skin without further irritating my skin, as well as leaving it soft and moisturised.
