Huangjisoo is one of my favorite K-Beauty brands. I first noticed the brand on Instagram, and I knew that I had to try their sheet masks.
The Huangjisoo philosophy is pretty simple. They believe in using natural ingredients that will nourish the skin without any irritation.
At the moment, Huangjisoo only sells sheet masks, cleansers, and skincare pads. If you want to know more about the skincare pads, check out my review here.
Since this a more natural skincare brand, I will be using Skincarisma to assess the quality of the ingredients. The ingredients analysis should be taken with a grain of salt. I like to use it as a first step skincare analysis. If any ingredient comes back as problematic, I like to do some more research on that ingredient and form my own opinions.
Let's get to the sheet masks!
Huangjisoo Natural Sheet Masks
I purchased these sheet masks last year from Masksheets. If you are looking for a great website for sheet masks, Masksheets is my absolute favorite one! They have the best sheet mask deals and they are always having amazing skincare sales. If you sign up for their rewards program (which is awesome btw) with my link, I will get some points. This is not an affiliate link, I do not make a commission from any sales made with my link.
Ok, now for the reviews...
I purchased and used all six of the Huangjisoo Natural Sheet Masks, and I have some thoughts.
All of these masks are free of Parabens, Sulfates, Alcohol, Silicones, and Synthetic Fragrances. I would like to note that there are essential oils in these masks, so keep that in mind if you have an essential oil sensitivity.
Huangjisoo Centella Repairing M.A.S.K- This mask is formulated with Centella Asiatica, Horse Chestnut Extract, Mushroom Extract, and so many soothing ingredients. This mask is meant for dry, sensitive skin. It will help soothe the skin, repair the skin, and strengthen the skin barrier.
This mask is soaked in a creamy essence that feels amazing on the skin. The sheet itself is pretty thick and it sticks very well to my face. After using this mask once, my skin felt calm, smooth, hydrated, and it was glowing. This is an amazing mask!

Huangjisoo Broccoli Voluming M.A.S.K- The brand changed the name of this mask to the Broccoli Plumping M.A.S.K. I guess they realized that they spelled Volumizing wrong! This mask is an anti-aging mask that will help plump up the skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines. The Plumping mask is formulated with Brocolli Extract, Coneflower Extract, Adenosine, and Mushroom Extract to help tighten and smooth the skin.
This mask is soaked in a milky essence that feels pretty lightweight on the skin. The fit of the sheet was great, and it didn't slide all over my face. After using this mask once, I only noticed more hydrated and glowing skin. I couldn't tell if it helped with fine lines, but my skin felt fuller. I guess that's from all the hydration this mask provides. You may be able to get a tightening effect with continued use.

Huangjisoo Shea Butter Nourishing M.A.S.K- The Shea Butter mask is for dry skin. The mask is formulated with Shea Butter, Yeast Extract, Allantoin, and Mushroom Extract to help hydrate and brighten the skin. The Shea Butter mask is very nourishing and moisturizing, so use caution if you have oily/acne-prone skin.
The Shea Butter mask is soaked in a thick, cream essence. The sheet fits well and doesn't slide down the face when standing. After using this mask once, my skin felt intensely moisturized and nourished. I also noticed a slight glow after using the Shea Butter mask. While I really enjoyed this mask, I think it may be too heavy to use regularly. You may like to use this mask daily if you have very dehydrated skin.

The Red Fruits Brightening mask is soaked in a liquid essence that feels amazing on the skin. I loved the fit of the sheet, and it didn't slide around on my face. After one use, this mask really helped brighten my skin and it was very hydrating. I really enjoyed this mask, but there are better brightening masks on the market.

The British Rose Hydrating Mask is soaked in a water essence that drips everywhere, so use caution when you apply the mask. This mask is not as intensely moisturizing as the Shea Butter mask, so it can be used more regularly. After one use, my skin felt hydrated but in a refreshing way. I enjoyed this mask a lot, but it felt pretty average for a hydrating sheet mask.

Huangjisoo Tea-Tree Soothing M.A.S.K- The Tea-Tree Soothing mask is a skin-clearing mask for acne-prone skin. This is meant for sensitive skin, but tea tree oil can be a little too harsh for sensitive skin types in my experience. This mask is formulated with Tea Tree Oil, Cucumber Extract, Lavender Extract, and Mushroom Extract to clear and soothe acne-prone skin. This mask is especially useful during an active breakout, but it will also help prevent clogged pores if used regularly.
The Tea-Tree Soothing mask is soaked in a water essence, so be careful when you apply the mask! After using this mask during a breakout, I can honestly say that this is a great tea tree mask. If you have been reading my sheet mask empties posts each month, you may already know that I love tea tree masks. This one is definitely in my top five favorites of all time!

Final Thoughts
If I had to choose a favorite mask from this set, it would have to be the Tea-Tree Soothing mask. A close second would be the Centella Repairing mask.
If I really had to choose a least favorite mask, it would have to be the British Rose Hydrating mask. It was just too average for the price tag.
I really did enjoy using all of the Huangjisoo Natural Sheet Masks. If you are curious about their HelloGanic line of sheet masks, you can read my review here.
If you are looking for a brand with more natural skincare products, I would highly recommend trying out the Huangjisoo website. They have all of the Huangjisoo and HelloGanic products for sale in one place!
