Personally I preferred sheet mask to gel mask
and below is my personal experience and explanation
Poor Absorption
I feel that gel mask does not have a good absorption properties.
Hence it is not able to make the mask to perform at its maximum.
For example it is not able to absorb all the essence in its packaging.
Dry up quickly
Because gel mask dried out very fast, if you leave the mask on your face for too long,
instead of supplying your skin with moisture, it will remove the moisture in your skin which will make your skin even drier.
My skin feel dry instead of moist after doing the mask.
Effect is not visible
After using the mask, I see not visible result.
After using a cotton mask, my skin usually will feel softer, brighter and more hydrated.
But I do not see that when I use a gel mask.
Difficult to work with
Moreover I feel that gel mask is a little difficult to work with.
Difficult as in when I tried to unfold the mask after I took it out from the package.
You have to be quick, if not the essence will start to drip.
Ladies with long nails will also encounter incident like their nails japing into the mask.
In the end, the gel mask is already damaged before you start to use it
