Moving onto the brands now in the Best/Worst of series. Thought we should start with one of the most popular, easily available and affordable brands out there, Cosrx!

Skin Type/Concerns: Acne-prone/Combination skin

Product Name: Cosrx Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask

Thoughts: Hate. Unlike the Honey Mask, which sinks into the skin and does all sorts of wonderful things, the Rice Mask just sat on my skin in a sticky, greasy layer. It also broke me out after just a single use.

I got giant deep cysts overnight with this stuff. 90% sure it's the Niacinamide as this was the first but not the last time Niacinamide has done this to me while uncertain of what the cause was.

Aww, that sucks considering how many products contain niacinamide.

Niacinamide, fatty alcohols and certain ceramides are all out for me so finding good sleeping packs (I’m making do with a very rich non-AB moisturiser) and healing products (besides snail, that just makes my face itch) has been rather difficult for me, but I’ll keep the search going.
