Repurchase: No

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask this are absurdly expensive I don’t love them they are very thick and have a ton of serum and I find they stay on decent and I can wear them for a long time but I don’t think they are worth the price. I will use them when I have them but I would not go out of my way to get these.

Repurchase: Yes
