Each individually packaged mask is difficult for me to open without scissors, even though the design of the package is obviously meant for you to tear it open. I personally find the application of the mask to be more challenging than others I am used to. The mask is thinner, so it comes with a piece of plastic covering that helps with the application, but there is a bit of a learning curve with this. My first two applications went terribly, with the mask not sticking to my face, but sticking to the plastic or folding over onto itself. By the third application, I got the hang of it. I do like that this mask covers my face more than most out there. I’m able to place the mask on my lips, which is a plus. Most masks have very large holes, and this mask has smaller holes. Some people may not like that, but I like it because it means more area is being hydrated. Each package has sooo much serum, so you must open and apply over a sink. It’s good because you want the mask to be as hydrating as possible. I also like that there is not a strong scent. I would purchase again.
