Is Fresh's floral calming mask with over 1k five-star reviews worth it?

Fresh is a skincare brand that’s been killing it in the “mask” category. I remember using their rose petal mask years ago and in the past 10 years, they ‘ve came out with many different masks that target various skin conditions that are all equally amazing. My favorite is still the Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask.
What it is: An overnight face mask that is clinically proven to calm signs of sensitivity—such as redness, uneven tone, and rough texture—for an even toned complexion.
My take: I REALLY wanted to love this mask, because the ingredients are clean and the reviews along with all the before/after photos are overwhelmingly positive, but it just didn’t do much for my skin. The right side of my face is more sensitive to my left, I was really looking forward to calming the occasional redness due to sensitivity, but I have yet seen a difference in redness, skin tone, and texture. As an overnight mask, it doesn’t provide much hydration either. I actually saw more difference with Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask and it’s cheaper. It also worked with my sensitive skin as well as providing great overnight hydration.
I am still going to continue using the Floral Recovery Calming Mask till I finish the entire jar. The ingredients are great, if they expand the line with a moisturizer and serum, I would definitely try them. If you are on the line about getting this mask, I suggest you get a sample first before committing to it because it is a bit pricey. They also have plenty of other amazing masks that are all worth a try!
I give it a C+
