Garnier Hydra Bomb Eye Tissue Mask Hyaluronic Acid & Coconut Water Reviews

Ok, first up let me say I normally really like sheet masks, and regularly use the Hydrabomb range and find them effective. Sadly, I didn't find this one lived up to the marketing.

The good: the mask just covers your eye area, and I like that it is therefore more targeted than other sheet masks. I felt like a feminine Hamburgler, and tbh I was here for it.

The rest: it's too big - I don't have a dainty little face, I'm tall and heavy and everything is proportional, but this wrapped well into my hairline and over my eyebrows, making it difficult to maintain a good seal. The plastic sheet fell off the mask as I removed it from the packaging, so I just applied it without the sheet. It felt soothing while on, but unfortunately I didn't notice any difference in fine lines or puffiness after use. If anything, my eyes were puffier afterwards.

I wouldn't use this again as I just didn't find it effective. I've had better results with other products.

I found the mask easy to apply, and it stayed in place comfortably while I relaxed. It felt lovely when on - cooling and soothing, and I was hoping to see reduced fine lines and increased hydration. I was a bit disappointed, I couldn't really see much difference. I also didn't like the feeling once removed, it felt a little stiff and tacky.

I found this mask very difficult to apply (being one piece!) and wasn't sure if I had it the right way around or not. As it's one size, it's tricky to get it to fit right and I found the eye holes too big and the mask didn't sit under my eyes where I wanted it too (my problem area!). I prefer eye masks that are 2 individual pieces to put under each eye.

It did however feel nice and refreshing and when I took it off after about 20 mins the skin looked smooth, although this didn't last long. I probably wouldn't purchase it myself as I found it too difficult to apply.

I opened the packaging but found the product was hard to unravel. I eventually managed to untangle the mask and apply it to my eye area. I then relaxed for 15 minutes. I felt a nice cooling affect from the product having stored it in the fridge prior to use. My eyes felt refreshed at the end of 15 minutes. I checked the before and after photos taken and didn't really notice any difference in terms of fine lines. I rechecked half an hour later and although my skin felt soft, I didn't notice and visible effects.

The Hydra Bomb eye mask comes in a foil packet. The packaging is ok - bright and eye catching. I found it a bit fiddly unfolding the mask but once I'd managed to do that, it fit really nicely on my face. I often find that sheet masks don't fit very well and bunch up in places or slide into my eyes. This one fit really well and stayed in place well. The smell is nice - quite a subtle, fresh smell. The packet says that you can increase the "cooling" factor by putting the mask in the fridge. I'm sure this would be great on a hot day, but on a freezing cold winter's day, I really couldn't face any extra cooling so I just used it at room temperature. I left the mask on for 15-20 minutes and relaxed. The mask felt nice on, not sticky. When I removed the mask, I thought that maybe my eye area looked a little more plumped and hydrated, but it wasn't hugely noticeable. In the morning, my eye area looked as it always does and felt the same as it always does. Perhaps you need to do this mask more frequently to see results? I'm not sure I'd use this again unless it was really cheap or a gift. I'd rather use a full face sheet mask and get the benefits over my full face.

I received a single sachet of Garnier Hydra Bomb Eye Tissue Mask Hyaluronic Acid & Coconut Water to trial. The product came in a shiny, pale green foil sachet that suited the idea of a cooling/soothing mask. On the back the instructions on how to use the mask and the expected effects were stated clearly. I opened the sachet and found the mask inside, unfortunately the protective white cover that was on one side of the mask slide off the actual mask and slipped into my hands separately due to there being a lot of creme liquid in and around the mask, a bit messy on the hands. Nevertheless, I found it easy to put the actual mask onto my eye area and it stayed there for the 15 mins required whilst I sat upright. When I peeled the mask off there was a small amount of creme liquid left as expected per the instructions I rubbed this in and it absorbed quickly. The skin where the mask had been felt tighter and fresher/cooler. I did not see any other differences at first but as time went on I saw my frown lines and outer eye lines had faded, plumped out a bit and definitely no puffiness left under the eye. These effects lasted many hours. In summary this product is easy and quick to use. It is a little bit mucky on application but it did what it claimed to do, my eye area looked fresher and felt tighter and at a reasonable price.

I was very excited to trial this eye make. Recently I have been plagued with puffy eyes with dark circles. I left the tissue mask in the fridge for a day before trying it. On first feel the mask was very cold with a smooth texture. I did have a blocked nose so unfortunately I cannot comment on how the smell of the mask. Upon application, I did find the mask was difficult to get to sit on my face evenly and did find that there were gaps between the tissue mask and my skin. I also found it awkward to smooth out well a sit stuck to itself very easily so there was little flaps that needed smoothing. After application, I was a little disappointed as I couldn't notice any difference with except for a small reduction in puffiness. I did however realise on the packet it says there were more benefits after using the masks three times applications per week so I would be interested to try the face masks over a week to see if they have much of an impact. I did massage the excess liquid in the packet onto my eye area after I had taken the tissue mask off. I enjoyed the 15 minutes of relaxation though so the tissue mask is a fantastic relaxation tool.

This eye mask has a gentle non offensive smell and didnt irrate my sensitive eyes. Its quite wet and a bit tricky to smooth out over the eye area, i found it was a bit big for my face, but i doubled it up at the corners to smooth it out. Its a good excuse to lay down for 15mins with your eyes closed and have a rest. It did feel nice an moisturised afterwards, it was a bit hard to tell if my fine lines had been smoothed, but it did reduce the puffiness under my eyes a bit. I think if you used it 3 times a week as they suggest on the packet, you might get better results, but it was pleasant and felt nice and cool. I would purchase again as a treat , as it did feel quite luxurious to use and i felt quite pampered afterwards.

This mask was really cool to use! There isn’t really much like this at the supermarket now so I think this is a good addition. First of all, the only negative, I don’t really like the shape of the mask. When you apply eye creams etc you should only apply them under the eye (to the best of my knowledge), so the whole mask itself might not be necessary - but it’s still cool.

Secondly I absolutely love the hyaluronic acid! I find that it really plumps up my skin, and that in combination with the coconut water seemed to do a great job at hydrating. My eyes felt so refreshed and awake after using it. One thing I would do next time is put it in the fridge so it could give me that extra cooling sensation.

I think the description was accurate, but you need to use hyaluronic acid more than once for it to have a real effect instead of just seeing the instant results. I would love to get more of these masks and try them for the next few weeks to see if there’s an overall, long term improvement.

Overall, I think this is a great mask. Sometimes we can forget about the eyes when doing skincare so it’s great of Garnier to bring this out! I’ll definitely be adding these to my skincare routine and use in combination with my other masks.
