Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask Review

I use this mask when my skin is having a bit of a meltdown and is dry and dull looking. It's an instant pick-me-up sort of mask that restores my skin to a more hydrated state.

The mask is saturated in product, and feels cool and soothing on while I wait the 15-20minutes with it on. When I remove the mask I leave my skin another 15 minutes to absorb the product that's left on my face. I instantly feel my skin feel more hydrated.

I apply it at night before bedtime so I can follow with a hydrating night mask as well. By morning my skin is looking hydrated, bright and soft, ready for the day.

I use this mask typically at least once a week as a pick-me-up hydration boost treatment rather than looking for longer term results, and for that purpose I think this mask is great.

The two things I liked about this product before even having tried it is that it's affordable, and readily available at supermarkets. I picked this one to try because I have dry skin with an increasing number of fine lines, so I'm really into hydration and hyaluronic acid.

This mask is super simple to use. I removed my makeup and gave my face a quick rinse before putting it on. As you'd expect, it's kind of 'one size fits all', so I shimmied it around a little bit to fit my face better, with a little bit of overlapping around my nose.

I left it on for 15 minutes (which goes by super quickly when you're watching tv!), and after removing it I massaged in some of the excess. I thought my skin looked a little plumper, and it definitely felt softer and more hydrated.

While I liked this product I definitely view it as more of a self-care treat than something integral to a skincare routine.

I liked this mask. It's a pretty package and the colours make your eyes drawn to it on the shelf. When opened, it was a bit tricky to unfold. I liked the softness of the mask itself and it made my skin really smooth. There is a lot of product on the mask which is great but also a bit messy. If you're ok with that then that's awesome! I used this product while in the bath and it was nice and cooling. I would recommend using it in a warmer setting. Would be great for summer perhaps.

Felt nice and super hydration afterwards. I really liked the plumped up glow face I got after use. Very happy

Sometimes it’s just the simple things. Hydration Masks being one of them. I had no problem trailing this Garnier one, I like their products, not too fancy and great price.

My skin needs hydration, it can’t get enough. The mask was easy to apply, stayed on well for the 15 mins. It didn’t move or slip at all. There was a generous amount of gel, the left over I placed on the top of my hands and forearms.

The gel was quite cooling, divine for the middle of summer, bit too cold for me yesterday but now that I am aware of it it’s not so much of a surprise. Wasn’t at all offensive, smelt nice and no reaction on me.

This morning my skin feels more plumped, like not so drawn and dehydrated looking which puts it on the “will buy again” list.

A little on the expensive side at $4.99 each – maybe if I could buy a pack with 6 for $20.00 I’d find it better value.

It’s one of those products that would be great as stocking fillers. Masks seem to be all the rage at the moment; it’s a great thing, something not messy, non staining & affordable giving for Christmas fillers with it not a waste of time or money.

I'll start by commenting on my skin - I have combination skin with a tendency to get oily in my T-Zone, with dryness on the outer areas of my face. Coming out of winter and into spring there are some little flaky dry patches and it tends to be more dry than oily.

I was impressed with the packaging, it looks very sleek in silver and cute with the flower accent. I couldn't wait to open it and see what was inside! On the back of the package it has all the info you would need to find out what it intends to do to your face, and what it has in it. It claims to give 24 hours of hydration. When I opened it the face mask was folded up. I got it out and unfolded it, there was a lot of gel/liquid on the mask. So much so that I had to wipe my hands as I went.

You have to apply it with the blue layer on the outside and use your fingers to mould it to the contours of your face. Once again I must stress that there was A LOT of product so it felt quite wet and almost drippy. It smelt really fresh and not at all like a fake chemical smell like some other face masks. I had a little trouble pulling the blue layer off but once I did the face mask was light and fitted well.

My family got a little scared when I came out with it on, but their reaction was funny and an added bonus. I left it on for 15 minutes, it didn't dry at all and still felt very wet. It says you can rub in the product that is left on your face, but there was so much I wiped it off with a cotton pad. My face felt sticky for a few minutes afterwards but following on from that it felt super hydrated. I liked the result that it gave, my skin was glowing and fresh looking. In the morning my skin wasn't oily, it gave me a nice even level of moisture across my whole face.

I would use it again as a treat, or for a pamper night, but I don't think I'll be adding it into my weekly routine at $4.99 a pop.

This is a really nice product but not something I would say did wonders for my skin! Although that is hard to tell with a once off type thing.

The mask is really easy to apply, there is a thicker blue material attached to it so that it keeps it's shape. You peel the blue off once it's in place and then smooth down any parts into creases etc.

It does feel really nice on the skin, VERY refreshing, cooling, moisturizing and relaxing. I do have really sensitive skin and this didn't sting, tingle or irritate at all which is great!

I left it on for just over 15 minutes. It simply lifts off your face. It says you can then wash off or rub in any excess product left on the face but I just let it soak in. It dried pretty quickly and left my face feeling really soft and moisturized.

In the morning I didn't notice anything that different until I washed my face in the shower! It was almost like there was already a moisturiser on my face.

This was really nice and super relaxing, great for a pampering evening but not something I would do on a regular basis due to the price. Worth it every now and again though and would probably purchase for a treat in the future.

I spotted this line of sheet masks in good old Pak n Save and as I'd been buying more expensive masks from Mecca I thought I'd give this a whirl. These are nice and simple to use, rip the foil top open and slide the mask out and unravel to use (I like that they have a backing on them as it makes the mask less likely to tear while unfolding). They have a slimier feel to them than more high end sheet masks but that doesn't bother me. They fit to the face easily and are still moist after 15 or so minutes on the skin. I think these are great if you want to give your skin a boost of hydration for a night out but I have not noticed any long term skin benefits from using them- really after 48 hours there is no difference in my skin.

I really enjoy the cooling effect of this mask. It is amazing to use on a hot day, especially if you keep it in the fridge. It has a great smell, and there is alway plenty of serum in the packet to do the neck and décolletage.

The mask can be a little fiddly to remove and unfold, but it’s saturated in product which is great. I probably don’t use it often enough to see the full benefits, but my skin always feels luscious after use and when I put a moisturiser on after my skin feels plump and hydrated.
