Is Dr Jart’s sheet mask worth its price? – Dr Jart Vital Hydra Solution Mask Review

My sweet spot for Korean sheet masks is around the 3,000 Won mark. These masks are usually softer, smoother and better hydrating than the 2,000 and 1,000 ones. So I don’t mind paying a little more.

I recently tried the Vital Hydra Solution Mask from Dr Jart, which is their signature sheet mask that’s targeted at hydrating. At 5,000 Won per piece, it is more expensive than what I would normally pay for sheet masks. So was it worth it?

Packaging

Dr Jart Vital Hydra Solution Mask comes in individually packed paper packs with foil backing. I prefer paper to plastic as it’s more environmentally sustainable. The packaging is quite large.

After tearing open the packaging, the sheet mask is accompanied with a pearl sheet. I was rather surprised with the pearl sheet because most companies would save this step and you often get a blob of sheet that’s difficult to return to its original shape. The pearl sheet makes unfolding the sheet mask a lot easier.

Sheet Texture

The sheet is very thin, but at the same time extremely soft and smooth. Some cotton sheets of this thickness can feel a little stiff and paper-like. But this one is so soft that it still felt like cloud. It’s also stronger than most thin sheets I’ve used. After 10 years of masking experience, this sheet is closest to perfect in my books.

Serum Texture

The serum felt like a very light gel when I took the sheet out of its packaging. There was no dripping at all. On the face, the serum turns into a water-like liquid that’s trapped between the sheets and the skin. The texture is not sticky or oily, a big tick for my oily skin.

Scent

It has a slight alcohol scent combined with the water-like scent. The scent quickly dissipated.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol, Panthenol, Betaine, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Algae Extract, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Chlorphenesin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Schizandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Coptis Japonica Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Carbomer, Arginine, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Acorus Calamus Root Extract, Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, PEG-10 Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

The mask contains quite a few hydrating ingredients including Glycerin, Panthenol, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Algae Extract.

Alcohol is 4th on the list. I could smell the alcohol scent when opening the packaging. It didn’t feel stingy on the skin when using the mask.

The ingredients list is relatively clean for a sheet mask.

Application

The cutting of this sheet mask fits my face shape very well. It covers most of my face including the undereye area. There is not much leftover on the edges.

The mask felt slightly cooling on the skin. The soft texture meant it was extremely comfortable to use. The serum is non-irritating and felt lightweight on the skin.

The sheet was still wet when I removed it off after 30 minutes (with silicone mask on top), which is quite long lasting for a cotton sheet mask.

Results

Hydrated and brightened, as you would expect from a good sheet mask.

My skin was a little dry before I use the mask, so I was pleasantly satisfied that after the mask my skin was plump, smooth and hydrated. The effects of hydration lasted for a few days.

Price

Dr Jart Vital Hydra Solution Mask comes in a box of 5 at 25,000 Won, which is about $6 AUD per sheet. It’s one of the more expensive sheet masks I’ve used, especially for a cotton sheet mask.

Verdict

Dr Jart Vital Hydra Solution Mask is easily some of the best cotton sheet masks I’ve tried over the years. Its ingredients list is relatively simple and clean. The serum is very pleasant and not sticky or oily. The sheet quality is second to none. The alcohol content is a slight let down, but if you don’t have overly sensitive skin, it’s not going to be a problem.

Overall, if you’re looking for top quality cotton sheet masks, Dr Jart won’t disappoint.
