It smells nice, but I don't really notice it doing anything for me.
Finished up the jar today and will not re-purchase. I prefer the Origins masks for my skin.

Although I am not a fan of Korres products-there are two of this brand that i really love-this mask and the yoghurt mask.It does make my skin look brighter than ever and the blemishes fade right away every time i apply it.I can't complain about break outs or dryness but after this mask i always use moisturizing mask.Absolutely love it and gonna repurchase again and again!

I bought a smaller version of this mask in a tube that lasted me 5 uses and I must say I am not impressed. I have not noticed any improvement in brightness of my complexion (I am naturally pale I do take GOOD care of my skin so there weren't any signs of neglect to be remedied here) maybe just a little bit in the tightness of my pores and that is about it.

The main issue that I have with this mask is that it stings unpleasantly on application and I was not very keen to use it more than several times that my tube was in for.

I was not impressed and I will not be repurchasing.

I have typical skin of a woman in her forties, you know with dry patches yet with breakouts too, and I have found that this product does moisturize adequately without oiliness or breakouts. Its consistency is thin and easy to apply without stretching your skin or leaving you feel smothered. It does brighten as I have noticed an evening out of my skin tone and smoothing skin texture. I would buy this again. This scent is a bit strong, but not unpleasantly so, and you certainly won't go to bed smelling like a chemical factory either.

I wanted to like this - i tried many-many times to make it work with my skin but it was a no-go!
This is suppose to be a brightening mask - imparting radiance, glow and instant benefits after even 1 application! You are thinking - yeah right! I hate to admit it myself but the claims on the box are true - this mask will brighten your skin right away and the glowiness will be very obvious. Its not expensive, its natural, no offensive fragrance and it will last a while since the jar size is generous. Sounds awsome - miracle potion that delivers- thats rare these days :)
So why am i not repurchasing you ask? I am sad to say that even though it worked - my skin looked great every time i tried it - it also broke me out every single time :( Radiance and pimples dont go together so my jar will be passed on to someone else with hopes that it may work for them...My search continues...or i might try it just one more time - maybe this time it will be different :)

I've used the Wild Rose cream before and I liked it so I thought I would give this a go for the vitamin C boost.
The scent is exactly the same as the cream, if I remember correctly. It will not be to everyone's taste but it's pleasant and it will mostly disappear once you remove the mask.
The product comes in a jar just like the moisturisers and it's exactly the same quantity, but this texture is very fine and almost liquid so a little product goes a long way. This irritates me a little because I'd have to use this every other day if I was to use it all in the 6 months they recommend. I've been using it for several weeks and it's still practically full. I wish it came in smaller sizes (with a lower price, naturally).
The good news is this leaves my skin soft. It's not incredibly moisturising but it doesn't make my dry/combination skin feel uncomfortable during the application. And it does seem to have a brightening effect. I have some sun spots below my eyes and some blemish scars and they tend to get less noticeable afterwards.

EDIT: apparently the mask is now sold in tubes of 16ml (that's a big reduction from 40ml!) I don't know if you get less for your money but in terms of hygene and preservation of the product this seems like a better way of selling it.

I love this mask. I am a total mask girl but I hate putting on a mask in front of a man. So I use this sleeping mask whenever my boyfriend stays over. This way, I can have my daily facial without being obvious. The wildrose smells very romantic, I felt divine when I have it on. Also, I woke up and my face felt smooth & rejuvenated. I didn't notice any brightening effect, but I don't expect an instant miracle from my beauty products either. I like this mask, because it makes me feel so good and beautiful when I have it on - I will definitely buy again.

Korres Wild Rose Mask
My skin type is normal, if I don't take care of it can feel dry.
Truthfully I wasn't looking for a mask as I make my own yogurt mask that is divine, but as it was in the Korres Wild Rose kit that I purchased, I tried it out.
Here's my review:
Texture: Thin in consistency and runny, like thinned yogurt. White is color,
Finish/Performance: The ad says, "an intensive moisture treatment" that wasn't my experience. My skin felt tight, not overly so.
Application: Smooths easily over skin it is runny so apply quickly. Of course, I apply with fingers.
Packaging: I bought this in a Korres Wild Rose kit, so it was a small plastic tube.
Odor: I think saying it is 'Wild Rose' is deceiving, as with the other products in this line, I was expecting it to smell like a real rose (such as in rose water which you can get at ethnic stores) It does have a scent difficult to describe. While the scent isn't offensive, it isn't one I enjoy smelling.
Cost: Middle to high end.
Bought at: Sephora
My rating scale is: EXCELLENT, GOOD, FAIR AND POOR
Overall rating for this product: FAIR.
I'm still shocked that they are recommending this for dry and mature skin (I double checked on the site to make sure I accurate here). I think this is an okay mask, but there are ones that are far better in the same price point.

I'm not convinced that this is a must-have product for me. The mask does seem to give a temporary brightening to the skin, but it's not that drastic. I have better results with my vitamin c serum. Will not repurchase once I run out.

just tried a sample of this for the first time today, and i really like it! i like korres as a company, and though their products (minus the lip butters) can be kind of pricey, it's worth it to me because of their high quality and natural ingredients.

i didn't expect the mask to be so white, and was a tiny bit apprehensive about it perhaps stinging my dry, sometimes-sensitive skin...but none of that. it went on easily, and i love that it doesn't dry so it didn't pull at my skin. very easy to remove, you don't need a lot (which makes the price much easier to bear) and i find the smell pleasant. when i took it off, my skin did look pretty-sort of pink and glowy and even, and i found i didn't even want to put foundation on to hide the radiance (my skin is pretty clear). i went out to dinner w a friend, and she kept talking about how nice i looked and asked if i'd had a facial.

i will be purchasing a full size of this-so what if the results don't last that long? i am excited to use it before parties or events where i want my skin to look particularly great.

I really like this mask for the following reasons: the smell is light and lovely, it goes on easy (goes on thin and dry - not some goop that drips - so you can put it on while you're doing pretty much anything), it has a lot of natural ingredients and somehow still manages to not sting or irritate my very fickle and sensitive skin, every time I use it I notice that my skin really does look brighter and more even toned, somehow it was even more noticeable how much smaller my pores looked, I think it's a reasonable price for how it works and how little you need. I'm phasing out a lot of my skincare products in favor of things thare are more simple and natural (carrier + essential oils) but only if they work as well or better (I'm all for a chemical-laden peel if it will make me look better). Anyway, this is one of the few brand name products that I would actually purchase again (which is saying a lot for me at the moment).

UPDATE: everything I wrote above is still true except I join the others in saying that the effects are short-lived. I don't feel like putting a mask on 4 times a week that is only for brightening when I've got other products that I need to use once or twice a week too. I don't want my life to be one enormous skincare schedule.

I've been using this from the Regiment Kit and its one of the products that I love from it. This mask is very similar in texture to the day cream and a little goes a long way. I've used this numerous times for the face and neck and that little bottle still has product left, which is great. I usually apply and leave it on for about 20-30 minutes while I do chores around the house. You can feel how creamy it is as you remove it. It truly does give me a glow but mostly I use it if my face feels a little dry or finicky....it always does the trick. I have never had any adverse effects (I have normal skin) or any tight/tingly/uncomfortable feeling with it on. The only two factors that make me hesitate in getting a full-size is the type of packaging the full size has and the price. If this winter gets dry, however, I think I will be getting this again.

I was suffering from dry skin flakes and patches in my cheeks. I bought the wild rose regimen kit as a trial. The mask is a moisturising one, doesn't dries out. It gives an instant glow, removes oiliness from my T-zone. What worked for me, however, is the moisturising effect it gave. My skin was very soft and supple, none of the silicone artificial smoothness. I used this mask thrice a week, applying serum daily. My patches have gone and my skin is almost normal. I am giving it 4 lippies since the glow doesn't last long. I won't recommend it for a mask for brightening but it is indeed an HG as an moisturising mask

This mask has a thick cream like consistency and never dries completely on your face. It does give an overall brighter appearance to your face but unfortunately that is very temporary. I've used their serum as well and am not very satisfied with this line. This mask has definitely not helped with fading away acne scars. I would describe it as an expensive, temporary pick me upper. Would not purchase again since there are so many other products on the market which deliver better results

So I haven't been wearing makeup for two months, I have been exercising and making a lot of healthy eating choices. My skin was well on its way to looking so much clearer.

THEN I bought this mask thinking it would help clear my acne scars...
I left the mask on for 10 minutes- I rinsed it off- my forehead was COVERED in pimples. I thought that this mask would be a lifesaver- but it broke me out to the point where I was embarassed to go outside.

I made an awful decision purchasing this- ruining my skin after all the effort I put in.

I bought this mask after reading all the good reviews at sephora.com
The packaging size is really small and the price is not cheap. However it lasts really long cuz each time u only have to use a tiny amount to cover the face.
It feels a little like burning while sitting on my face, I think that's the vitamin c working. I see my skin is brighter right after use, however it does not last at all. The next morning my skin is back to how it was.
I don't see much improvement on my acne marks after finishing it.
But I have to say that it didn't break me out and smells nice.

I like this mask. I actually put on a thin layer and leave it on all night... instead of washing off after just a few minutes. And I can tell a big difference! My skin is firmer and more toned. And although I don't notice any bleaching on my skin- I do on my eyebrows!!

I've also been using the serum and yogurt mask. Both of those are great too...

honestly, i wouldn't say you should go out of your way to buy this product but i might be convinced to get some again. it does actually have a great brightening effect but only lasts a little while. i only use it right before i go out when i'm feeling dull or reddish. it doesn't dry your skin out and i feel like it leaves my skin in extra good condition to apply makeup. if you are thinking about getting the triple benefits package this is the upside to it.

This is an okay brightening mask. I just finished using mine-I always wait till I've used a product up before reviewing it, since the initial love or/hate that sometimes comes with using a product for a few days can change. What I love about it is the smell! To me it's roses and cinnamon mixed together, but that's just to my nose. It's a nice consistency for a cream mask, not to heavy not to light like a lotion. After I washed my face, I would slather this on, once a week, for 15 minutes, sometimes 20. After I rinse the cream off, I'm left with a brighter complexion, which is definitely nice. But I notice the effects would only last for a short time. I would put the mask on at night and I'd have that brightened complexion, but by morning the effect was completely gone. I've tried the entire Wild Rose line from Korres and it's left me un-impressed. The effects are all short lived. The only thing that really impressed me with this mask was the smell. I would not buy again. I'd rather spend my money on products that really make my skin better, not that just give the illusion of better skin for a short while.
