This mask reminds me very much like the discontinued Jeju Fermented Leaven Mask in its texture ~ very creamy and fermented.   Now to me, the scent is really nice – a woody-sweet-spice scent, which after looking at the ingredients, I can see where that is coming from.  This has a lot of oils in it ~ spice and wood notes of pine, rosemary, lavender, nutmeg, ginger, thyme, clove, cypress along with citrus and citrus-smelling oils, like bergamot, may chang, citron, lemon, grapefruit, orange and tangerine.  The scent also has a bit of a “boozy” fermented aroma to it, which is most likely due to the grains in this product.  Some people might really hate this scent, but I love it ~ I really enjoy fermented scents like this. This mask has a very thick and creamy texture, with bits of oat and grain flecked through-out it which I think will be good for a very delicate and gentle exfoliation. After applying to my face, I was very surprised at how very cool and refreshing this is on my skin ~ that was unexpected, but I supposed this is due to the spearmint oil in here. I had this on for about 10 minutes and it doesn’t dry down completely.  It gets a bit gummy and the bits of the oat and quinoa turn white as they dry.

I have oily skin, so I feel that this mask is better suited for when my skin is chapped or dry from the cold winter winds and air.  It is very soothing, yet refreshing at the same time and it doesn’t dry out my skin, but actually adds moisture.  It provides a light exfoliation action with the seeds and oats, so if you have dry or sensitive skin, this mask could be the one that you might like to use.  I also felt this helped clear out my pores and whereas it didn’t tighten it as much as the Peppermint Clay mask did, it did improve the texture of my skin and my skin did feel very soft and smooth.
