Holy Grail Review: J.One Black Jelly Pack
Discovering a brand whose products are one of their kinds is like hitting a jackpot. A few months ago, I was introduced to one such brand when they approached me not only to review their products but also looking for Indian K-Beauty distributors to tie up with. I had heard of the highly raved J.One Jelly Pack before, but they sent me not just the Jelly Pack but also the Black Jelly Pack which became a staple in my routine.
Both the products come in identical bottles, while the Black Jelly Pack comes in a black bottle and white card board box, the other one comes in a white bottle and black cardboard box. The product itself is a mysterious blackish blue jelly that’s not too thick and applies smoothly all over the skin without leaving any sticky residue.
Description:
Wake up to glowing skin with this hydrating and smoothing overnight mask, formulated with anti-oxidant rich midnight-hued ingredients.
How it works:
The J.One Black Jelly Pack is the nighttime compliment to the cult-status Jelly Pack. The Black Jelly Pack harnesses the power of 7 midnight-hued antioxidant rich ingredients. Extracts of nutrient-dense black berry, black cumin and propolis help to hydrate and nourish the skin. Skin appears smooth and supple. This overnight radiance-boosting treatment is also formulated with fragmented hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to help minimize the appearance of dry fine lines and dullness. This multi-tasking treatment can be used in the morning and evening as a serum and mask-in-one.
Free of:
Parabens, Synthetic Dyes & Fragrances, Mineral Oils.
How to use:
Dispense a dime size amount onto finger tips and gently sweep onto cleansed skin (approximately 1-2 pumps). After 30 seconds, pat into skin until completely absorbed. If desired, use as the last step of your night routine as an overnight sleeping mask.

My Experience:
Prior to receiving this beauty, sheetmask used be my favourite of all steps. In comes this game changer to strip of the ‘favourite step’ tag from my dear sheetmasks. I would like totally wait for the last step of my night time routine to dispense 2-3 pumps of this mysterious blue jelly and pat it into my skin and sleep it off without any tacky/sticky feeling. The jelly smoothes on the skin and absorbs very easily without feeling heavy. However, the magic can be felt the following morning, waking up to a nicely hydrated and most importantly, plumped up skin. The first time I used it, I was like, ‘how can a mild jelly like product possibly hydrate my skin immensely?’. With a couple of weeks of usage I noticed a firming effect on my skin. I’m 28 with no solid anti-aging routine, but luckily the only early aging sign I could notice was starting to lose elasticity around the corner of my lip, which none can see but only I could feel. The reason I could feel a sign that wasn’t visible was because my mum has sagging skin around her lip corner and I could totally feel my lip corner becoming like hers. Within a couple of weeks after starting to use the J.One Black Jelly pack, my lip area became as firm as it was when I was in high school.
My Black Jelly Pack ran out during the wedding as a result of introducing it my sister when she was home and currently I’m begging Indian K-beauty retailers to curate this product so that I can get it for my sister and I and possibly even my mum (who never wears a moisturizer unless I hand it out to her every morning and evening).
Pros:
- Firms
- Hydrates
- Locks in the goodness from all the previous steps
- Can be used both as a night cream/gel as well as a sleep pack
- Smells pleasant
- Comes in an elegant packaging
- Suits my hyper-sensitive skin
- Decently hydrated my normal skin throughout the winter
- Water based
Cons:
Since I started K-beauty blogging when K-beauty wasn’t available in India, I don’t consider availability as a con, but that just my personal opinion.
Where to buy:

5/5
NOTE:
Press sample, but the opinion is very, very honest.
Thank you for the review. I would love to get this baby. I want to use it as a sleeping mask. I use vitamin c serum everyday. So I can’t use both of them together as it contains Niacinamide. I think I should skip Vit c when I use this.
Waiting for review on J. One jelly mask.
Personally, I have used products containing Niancinamide along with BHA/AHA as well as with Vitamin C and have not experienced any reaction so far. That being said, everybody’s skin is different so I cannot guarantee it will react the same with you. On the other hand I have once used Vita C and chemical exfoliator on same routine and got a huge cystic acne.
Absolutely love yoir reviews on K-beauty products. Will be looking forward to more.
Thank you so much <3
