Jelly masks for sensitive skin
If your skin reacts easily, patch test first. No skincare suits everyone. Rose and Tea Tree have no retinol, kojic acid or arbutin, but both list fragrance, so check the full ingredient list before you start.

Questions
How do I patch test a jelly mask?
Mix a small amount, smooth it on your inner arm, let it set and peel it off after 15 minutes. If there's no redness or itching after 24 hours, it's a good sign you can try a full mask. Check the full ingredient list on the jar first.
Does peeling it off pull at the skin?
It shouldn't. It sets into a soft jelly rather than a sticky film, so it lifts off without much tugging. Peel slowly from the edges.

Before you start
Hyaluronic Acid contains retinol, kojic acid and arbutin, so wear sunscreen the day after using it, and don't use it on the same day as other retinoids or exfoliating acids. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor first.
Every formula is $54 a jar, about 8 masks (about 10 from Vampire PLLA Infusion's larger jar), with free shipping on 2 or more jars.
