"If you were searching for a sheet mask that is going to give you a visible wow moment when you take it off, this is it.

"This is the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask and this is a special occasion, this is a little bit of a bougie sheet mask, it's a little pricey but I absolutely love it for special occasion skin prep."

"It's about $100, but I really feel like this product actually pays you back in the results because this sheet mask is soaked in that iconic SK-II essence, the Pitera essence, which is galactomyces ferment. SK-II actually has an exclusive strain of galactomyces ferment that they use, so while you can find this ingredient in other products, it's just not quite the same. The quality and the concentration and everything is a little bit on that next level."

"SK-II, I apologize I didn't mean it, just kidding I did. Your products are too expensive. I mean for 10 masks that's not terrible, that comes out to like $14 a mask, which for a luxury brand is not that bad, but for a single one it is $30, which is pretty ridiculous because $30 for a single use product of any kind is nutso."

"The SK-II Facial Treatment Mask, while it's nice, it's just a little bit too expensive for me to commit to."

"I don't like these face masks. These are the SK-II face masks, they're a Japanese skincare brand that's supposed to have Pitera, which is supposed to be this magical ingredient. SK-II is made by L'Oreal. Like, I'm gonna call it as I see it, it's marketing and they use this marketing to get you to spend money. You can literally find these beneficial bacterial ingredients and peptides in other products for so much less money. [...] This one is a no from me."

Luxury Mom Skincare Routine? Esthetician Reacts to Emma Roberts

"The sheet mask is [...] 103 dollars and 39 cents for 10 masks, [...] that's like 12 dollars a mask. I mean [...] it literally has [...] water, saccharomyces ferment filtrate, propylene glycol, xanthan gum, methylparaben, and Pitera. You're basically paying for water and Pitera, one of the most basic formulas. You're basically paying for water and [...] this fermented amino acid basically. I would not spend this kind of money on this."
