Once I entered my 40s, my skincare needs completely changed, and I had to switch to ingredient-based products to address skin concerns. When I experience problematic skin, I often reach for instant gratification products while also committing to a regimen-based routine aimed at addressing the concerns long-term. This is a fantastic instant gratification product that actually works. When I was younger, I never used rose-based products due to the dislike of the fragrance. However, in recent years, when I've actually needed the benefit of the ingredients, rose-based products have been my go-to for a lot of instant and long-term solutions to address aging skin. This one was particularly surprising because it worked so much better than I thought it would. I picked it up due to dry skin patches that I was experiencing despite my rigorous daily regime, and overnight, it improved the dryness. I used it with the following regimen: double-cleanse, exfoliator, toner, essence, moisturizer steps. Then, I finished off with this mask, left on overnight, and yes, much longer than the instructions. When I woke up, my skin felt completely smooth in the non-irritated parts, and considerably better in terms of the dry flakiness where the patches were. They weren't completely gone, but the dryness was significantly improved. I can't say it was all due to this mask, but it certainly helped in improving the condition. Although it still took a few more weeks for the dry patches to disappear completely, this was a fantastic quick fix solution for about a day or so. Plus, it smelled great. Highly recommended for a short-term pick-me-up.
