Cosrx Ultimate nourishing rice overnight spa mask Review

It seems like Cosrx really can do no wrong.  Throughout the years, I’ve been testing out their products and I must say, I’m in love with the brand.  Anytime my friends or you guys ask what skincare product to buy, I usually direct them to Cosrx because the brand is all about simple ingredients but also being super effective as well.  If you want to check out my first reviews on Cosrx products, click here and also here for my birch sap lotion review as well.  I’ve actually been eyeing this product for a long time but never bit the bullet to get it.  So when Jolse let me pick out a couple items to review, I knew I had to pick this one up!  So let’s get onto the review shall we?  Let’s goo! (´･∀･`)

Full name of product:
Cosrx ultimate nourishing rice overnight spa mask

Limited edition/ Permanent?:
Permanent

Description of product:

HAHA I think the comic does the description justice so my job here is done.

Price:
15,000 won

Amount of product:
50 g

Duration before expiration:
2 years

Country of Manufacture:
Made in Korea

Versions available:
There are two versions to their overnight mask built for two different purposes.  Those with dry skin, I’d recommend the rice version since it moisturizes, helps with skin texture, gives you “milky skin” and is rich in nutrition.  I have seen some of you guys tell me that you have oily skin and it broke you out, so I would definitely not suggest you buy the rice one but the honey one instead since this one might be too rich for you guys.

The honey one seems to be a more gel texture that helps with trouble (aka. pimples/ irritation), soothes the skin, anti-wrinkle and helps with a swollen face in the morning.

Where to buy:
Amazon
Yesstyle

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Betaine, Niacinamide, Dimethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Elaeis Guineensis(Palm) oil, Elaeis Guineensis(Palm) Kernel Oil, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Arginine,Carbomer, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum

How to use:
1. As a sleeping mask
Use at the end of the basic skincare before bed. Apply a decent amount on the skin. Have a sweet dream and ready to get surprised tomorrow!

2. As a wash-off mask
Apply a generous amount and leave on for 15 minutes. Wash with toner or tepid water.

3. As a cream
Use at the end of the basic skincare and continue your normal makeup step.

Product packaging:
Packaging from Cosrx is always super simple, sleek and to the point just like their branding.  This rice mask is no exception which comes in a white jar and a twist on tin lid.

Twist off the cap and you’ll see there is another lid to keep things sanitary.  I don’t remember if this came with a spatula or not but from my memory, I don’t think so?  Correct me if I’m wrong down in the comments if I’m mistaken.

Texture/ Finish:
I first time I ever experience a Cosrx moisturizer was their honey ceramide which also came in this lightweight, creamy looking but close to a gel texture.  I was skeptical at first since gel-like moisturizers usually don’t work for me like Laneige’s famous sleeping pack for example.  To my surprise, both the honey ceramide and this rice mask works lovely even on my very dry skin.

Formulated with ingredients such as rice extra, sunflower seed oil, Guineensis (palm) oil, Kernel oil, this cream is a definite keeper in my skincare arsenal.

I usually use about a pea size (a big pea) amount for my whole face and neck.  This cream blends into the skin effortlessly and doesn’t leave my skin greasy at all.  For oily skin, it might be slightly greasy but for my dry skin, it drinks it up like a dream.

Moisture level measurements:

The moisture levels on my skin is unusually high since I did use Cosrx’s hyaluronic acid essence beforehand so do keep that in mind.  With the overnight mask on, my moisture level does jump up to 4% for my cheeks and 8% on my forehead.  Not bad if I do say so myself.

pH level:
pH level for this cream is pH 5.  It has brought to my attention that I’ve actually been explaining the pH level section wrong in the past posts.  Human skin has a pH level 5 which is slightly acidic while neutral is pH 7.  I’ve been always saying it is neutral but it is acidic since it is pH 5.  I guess what I meant was it is neutral on human skin since it is the same level but I will try and go back and correct it -_-.  I’m tired.. LOL

Fragrance?:
This product does not have fragrance, like the rest of Cosrx’s products.

Pro:
-super hydrating
-leaves my skin soft, moisturized, radiant
-affordable
-not greasy

Con:
Nothing!

Repurchase?:
Most likely ⁽(◍˃̵͈̑ᴗ˂̵͈̑)⁽

Overall thoughts:
I’m really glad I finally got to try this for myself and see if it is worth the hype or not.  To this day, I still haven’t tried anything from Cosrx that I don’t like.  Cosrx is like Bruno Mars to me, it can do no wrong.  Overall I’m very pleased with this cream and I love how it leaves my skin.  I do wish it was in a bigger jar but for $11-$15, I can afford to buy another one.  Those of you who are looking to brighten, soften, moisturize your skin, I highly recommend you check this product from Cosrx.
