Review: Etude House Sleeping Facial Pack

The Etude House Sleeping Facial Pack comes in 3 types: Brightening, Pore Tightening, and Moisturizing. The consistency of this product is gel based. Although the 3 have specific target functions, they all essentially help retain moisture to your skin as you sleep.

Size
It comes in 120 ml or 4.06 oz.

Price
Depending on where you get it, the price of this product ranges from $8-10.

How to Use
You would apply this on a clean face before you go to bed, and then rinse off the next morning. This absorbs to your skin right away like any moisturizer would. On the back of the tube, it recommends you to sleep for 10 hours for the product to be most effective (I usually sleep for 6-7 hours, though, haha. Who's able to sleep for 10 hours in this time and age?!). 


*About My Skin*
Before I review the product itself, I'd like to address a few things about my skin. I have normal-combination skin, and it is acne prone (due to stress, and that time of the month :P). I also have discolouration due to post-acne scars.


Brightening


This is the first one I've tried. I've used it for about 6 months now, and I really enjoy it! It does not leave any greasy feeling to my face at all. In the morning, my face looks radiant and glowy, and feels smooth. I am impressed with this product. My acne scars have faded a bit, but I cannot say completely, and I also cannot say it was solely because of this product (for instance, combination of other products may have aided in the reduction of scarring). This isn't a whitening/lightening product, so don't expect it to do just that. If you are looking for whitening/lightening products (they do help lighten scars), I recommend My Beauty Diary masks in Black Pearl (Black Pearl isn't the only one that specializes in whitening, but I just find that to be the most effective one. Also, keep in mind that if you do choose to use whitening products, you will be sacrificing your currently owned foundation shades! LOL).


Pore Tightening

Because I liked the Brightening version so much, I decided to give this one a try, too. It has a similar effect in that it leaves my face well moisturized from when I apply it to when I wake up the next morning. In terms of pore tightening, I haven't noticed any drastic difference (yet).


Moisturizing

Sadly...... I have not tried this one yet. Apologies for the absence of this review. However, I'm assuming this would be perfect for the colder months, or those with dryer skin :)

Overall, through my personal experience, I find this to be a wonderful product, and I will definitely buy this again. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope this was helpful! ^^

RANDOM
Oh, in case you were wondering, the model for this product is Park Shin-Hye. She is a talented Korean actress who starred in the famous drama called You're Beautiful. I watched her in her other dramas called Stairway to Heaven, and Tree of Heaven (both very sad and moving <3).
