Once I washed everything off, my skin instantly feels so plump and smooth. My skin also looks healthier and glowing especially after applying the rest of AXIS-Y products afterward. This mask is definitely a great exfoliator as applying serum and moisturizer, I felt it penetrating better inside the skin. Which results in super nice and moisturized skin. And another thing I've noticed that this mask really does calm down irritated skin. I had a few burning pimples before I applied this mask, then after I washed this mask off, the irritation from the pimples was magically gone and the redness seemed to fade also. I'm amazed, honestly.
