I Used Missha Rice Essence Sheet Mask and It Severely Burned My Face

I recently purchased the Missha Rice Essence Sheet Mask, assuming it had a clean and gentle formula suitable for my sensitive skin. I've trusted Missha products for years, but this experience left me shocked and incredibly disappointed. The moment I applied the mask, my face started to burn intensely—not a mild tingling, but a harsh, painful burning sensation. I had to remove it immediately, but the damage was already done.

Even after rinsing my face and applying a calming moisturizer, the burning persisted, and my skin looked inflamed and damaged. I’ve never experienced such a reaction to any skincare product before, especially not from a brand I used to trust. Now I'm left wondering if the product was expired, contaminated, or if the ingredients are harsher than advertised.
