Thanks BR for this trial! I was so excited to try this new mask by Garnier...my skin is always so dry so any new hydrating product my eyes light up! Not only does it state that this gives you 24h of hydration (based on 3 applications a week so a little tricky to judge with only one use) but its enriched with pomegranate which should give a radiant and rejuventated complexion.
I love how easy it was to open the packet, but unfolding and applying the mask was opposite in my experience. The mask was absolutely sopping with product which made it hard to handle and open. Applying the mask was tricky as well, I found that the cut outs were too small but it wasn't until I removed the outer layer that I could actually manoeuvre the mask where it needed to go.
Anyway, 15minutes later (as per recommended time) I took the mask off. The mask didnt feel too dry..there was still a little bit of product on there so I'm thinking I could have gone for 20minutes. My face was covered in product so the packet recommends to massage excess into skin then remove with a cotton pad. I did both. Within a couple of minutes I would never have guessed that I had just used a hydrating face mask. Whilst my face looked rejuvenated & brightened, my skin felt sooo tight. Another mask would have been handy to try as I would love to know whether skipping out the "remove with cotton pad" step would make all the difference.
The next day, unfortunately, my skin didnt feel any different to what it felt like before I used the mask.
Garnier SkinActive Hydra Bomb Tissue Mask was not a great product for me.
The packaging was appealing, appeared fresh and promised hydrated skin suitable for all skin types.
In reality, the mask left my face feeling tight and I needed to remove the product and apply facial oil and moisturiser afterwards to try and make my skin feel better.
The smell of the product is too strong, and the mask itself felt way to heavy on my face. I had to take it off by the ten minute mark. I have used facial masks before, so know this felt out of the norm heavy to me.
Unfortunately I have really nothing to offer in support of this product, not for my skin anyway. My skin is not especially dry but even if it was, this product claims to rehydrate intensely, it should not have left me feeling tight and more dried out than before I applied it!
Tips: Be prepared for the strong fragrance and weight of the product on your face. This product did not deliver what it promoted to do.
