Sheet Masks VS Hydrogel Masks

Okay so i just saw someone on reddit asking whether sheet masks actually do anything. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a fan of sheet masks at all cuz to me they feel wet and uncomfortable and i never really notice any difference afterwards. I personally swear by hydrogel masks even though they're significantly more expensive and single use only, but the difference in how my skin feels after🤌 is just incomparable to me. But I know sheet mask fans are out there and i genuinely want to understand 👀

Soooo reddit, sheet masks or hydrogel masks, which one do you actually prefer and why? And sheet mask enthusiasts please make your case because i am genuinely curious what I'm missing!!

Korean and US sunscreens are literally different products?

I keep hearing that sunscreens in Korea and the US are basically different products even when they're the same brand and same name? The formula, texture and even the protection filters are apparently different because of regulations in each country??

From what i understand the US FDA classifies sunscreen ingredients as drugs which means the approval process is incredibly strict and slow, so a lot of the newer UV filters that are widely used in korean and european sunscreens are not approved in the US yet. Which apparently is why american sunscreens tend to be thicker, more white cast heavy and just generally less elegant on the skin compared to korean ones?

But I want to know if this is actually true from people who have used both or know more about this. Like is the spf protection actually different or just the texture and formula? and if korean sunscreens are genuinely better why is the US so behind on approving these ingredients?

Someone please explain this to me like i'm five because i'm about to start importing my sunscreen and i need to know if it's actually worth it 😭
