So I haven’t tried any of these multi pack situations but I thought this looked interesting. I’m not sure if the 45 was supposed to stand for an age or what, but oh well. It said hydrating and anti aging so I thought that would be good.
It was easy to separate one mask without touching the others and the mask itself is a fairly soft cotton. Fit was a bit large but fine. The scent was kind of like ceravee. It wasn’t as saturated as I like, but it didn’t dry out after 15 minutes either.
My skin did feel hydrated though a little tacky. Overall, Nothing special but at basically $1 a mask I feel like it did a solid job and I like the idea of wasting less packaging

I've used a fair share of masks from Vitamasques, but I don't recall off the top of my head whether I've shared about this one. Vitamasques Super Cactus Glow Facial 3 Step Facial is an excellent, enzymatic exfoliating mask pack consisting of a cleanser, sheet mask and moisturizer, all infused with cactus-fruit and other good-for-your-skin extracts that leave skin glowy and hydrated.

Step 1 is the Agave Enzyme Cleanser, a clear, highly viscous, gel cleanser with a subtle, slightly earthy, musky scent that very gently and effectively resurfaces the skin without tingling or stinging. Skin is left feeling baby soft, smooth, and moisturized - I kept touching my skin it was so soft and at one point, I forgot I had more steps to complete because my skin felt beautifully moisturized. While the scent isn't the greatest, the results are phenomenal. I would love to have this as a standalone product
Step 2, the Super Cactus Biodegradable Sheet Mask is a medium-thick sheet saturated with a clear, ever so slightly viscous serum that smells more floral that the Step 1 cleanser but still has a tinge of the musky scent from it. The sheet adheres well and with a few, slight incisions to the corners of the eyes and mouth and the length at the chin / jawline, fit is great. A 30-minutes session leaves skin looking and feeling hydrated and plump, with no tack or stickiness.
The final component, Step 3, is a Prickly Pear Moisturizer. Because of its thinner lotion consistency, one layer will leave skin feeling lightly moisturized with zero stickiness. More moisture can be infused into the skin with an additional layer, also without stickiness or tack. This last step would make a lovely warm weather moisturizer for all skin types.
For me, the star of this 3-step mask pack was the enzyme cleanser (Step 1) despite the musky scent, followed by the moisturizer (Step 3), and then the sheet mask (Step 2). Don’t get me wrong, the sheet mask is fine enough; the other two products were just better. All 3 were good and I would happily use this mask pack again; it would be great for travel.
