This new Velvet Sleeping Mask from Sisley has easily become one of my favorite night creams. Described as a soothing & restoring mask for dry skin. Details per Sisley:
The soothing and restorative Velvet Sleeping Mask with Saffron flowers helps dry skin replenish its comfort overnight.

This soothing mask supports dry skin in its nocturnal restoration due to the most effective ingredients (Thyme Honey, Shea butter). Upon awaking, the skin has ""recovered"" and appears revitalized, as well as looks and feels softer and more radiant.

I've normally been addicted to the Black Rose Mask which I use as an overnight cream versus a wash off. Then this launched and on a whim I grabbed it. So glad I did. It's absolutely amazing. Sisley is very hit or miss with me. This one has become one of my all time favorites from the brand. While it says it's for dry skin honestly it's not that heavy and would suit combination skin as well. It's great as a night cream. It feels heavy and thicker but it's really not that heavy. It's almost light & airy. It very much reminds me of texture wise like the Fresh Black Tea Overnight Sleeping Mask. It very nourishing and repairing without being heavy or greasy. Even with my direr skin in the winter this was enough for overnight without that heavy feel.
It has a very light scent. Some Sisley products are quite scented but this one is very light and fresh. It never bothered my rosacea once. I've actually blown through my tube with ease when at first I thought it wasn't for me. I do find it soothing and calming. I wouldn't waste it as a wash off mask honestly. Leave it on all night, or day if you're at home. It has shea and kokum butters plus macadamia and cottonseed oils for nourishing/moisturizing, glycerin and panthenol (soothing), Thyme honey, brown algae (moisturizing), plus a few interesting plant extracts like Japanese Lilyturf and saffron. I've used saffron before in cooking or some random skincare ingredients. It has antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory and contains crocin the active compound that gives saffron it's skincare benefits.
This one may be expensive but it was downright delicious to use. I ended up liking it better than the Black Rose one. It feels slightly lighter in texture than Black Rose plus it's more soothing and repairing for me. Yes it's pricey but it's utterly divine. If you like Sisley and the idea of a more soothing style cream you'll enjoy it.
