I remember I saw Too Cool for School Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack on a random youtube video but I got mixed up with the zombie pack 1004. So in my mind, I thought it dries up and crack like a zombie while fixing your skin.
In reality, this mask is pink in color, probably the main reason why it is called Fresh Gore. It has a gel-like consistency like most sleeping packs. Needless to say, this mask never dried up like a zombie clay mask.
According to their site, this mask is transfused with the secret beauty of vampires. I am not too sure if actual vampires use this mask but the mask is made from something that sounds just as magical.
what is so special about the Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack
Apparently, the Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack is made from a red sap called dragon blood. In other cultures, it is a renowned traditional medicine. It has many properties, like antidiarrhetic, antiulcer, antimicrobial, antiviral, wound healing, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant etc [1]. Not a lot of research has been done on dragon’s blood. But in one research paper, it is shown that it repairs wounds much faster than those who did not use dragon blood[2].
Not only does the Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack contains dragon blood extract it also contains astaxanthin, niacinamide and adenosine. Astaxanthin is also a great antioxidant, that helps scavenge free radicals, which prevents premature aging. While niacinamide is to brighten the skin while adenosine is to prevent wrinkles.
What I thought
The Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack was definitely not what I was expecting. I thought with the name, Fresh Gore, you would expect something gruesome. But it was nothing of the sort. It is basically like a normal sleeping mask with a bit of tint. Even though it is tinted, you could barely even see the red. It is almost as if it’s invisible.
Although the tint of the Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack didn’t bother me, the texture kind of did. The mask has a jelly-like consistency. When you squeeze the mask onto the palm of your hands and try to pick it up, it might roll off onto the ground if you are not careful. However, when you do pick it up, it spread easily on the face. I recommend to apply a thin layer of the mask, or else it would take forever to “dry”. The mask doesn’t really dry down, it feels as if you put on a thick moisturizer.
Results
I didn’t notice any major difference after using the Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack. My face wasn’t any brighter or felt super moisturized after using this mask. However, I would probably continue using this mask, because of all beneficial ingredients in this mask. Would I repurchase this mask again? As of right now, probably not.
