Garnier Cryo Jelly Sheet Mask

I had such high hopes for this but it really was not for me.

I’ll start with what was good about it: upon removal and for a couple hours after skin looks super glowy, hydrated and awake. When I initially opened the packet it smelled so nice but once it’s on your face it’s almost hard to breathe I’m guessing that’s from the menthol - not a particularly nice scent to have all over your face. The scent was making my eyes burn and water, the eye holes were not big enough so sat super close to your eyes which did not help with the eye watering problem.

There was so much serum on the mask it made it quite hard to unpack and get on the face and stay in place more messy and difficult than your standard face mask.

The whole mask experience was really quite unpleasant for me it was uncomfortable on my face, yes I do agree it is very cooling but for me it was to the point that it felt like I had put deep heat/arnica on my face and I actually didn’t make it the 15 minutes recommended it was uncomfortable and for me I use a mask generally for some self care etc and it was not a relaxing nice experience. It was especially uncomfortable around the eyes and lips, it is cold but uncomfortably so. After removal you’re left with a heap of serum even after massaging into face and neck. Personally it’s not for me and I will stick with a normal hydrating face mask however the results are quite good for a couple hours if you make it 10-15 minutes.

I love a good sheet mask. I like trying out new ones and anything that says anti fatigue is right up my alley. I have a toddler and I am tired from lack of sleep.....it definitely shows!

The foil package is easy to tear open, the mask itself is absolutely drenched in product and I found it very difficult to unfold. Once I finally did I placed it on my face and it was a great fit. It feels very slimy!

It states that it cools skin down -7 degrees so I was interested to see what was going to happen. I started getting a weird sensation, it felt almost like it was burning and I will definitely say it wasn't pleasant or relaxing.

I had to remove the mask before the 15 minutes was up because I was too uncomfortable. My face was covered in product so I massaged it in. My face felt really sticky for a good 10 minutes and it didn't completely dry down. I absolutely hate that feeling.

My skin felt nice and looked plump and hydrated. Did it looks less tired......no. For me it didn't do much and I hated the whole experience. I don't recommend this mask and would never use it again. Sorry Garnier this is not a winner for me!

I've used sheet masks before, but not this particular one. I feel like the aloe vera combined with the hyaluronic acid (and whatever other magic they put in this) is a winning formula - my skin is soft and hydrated immediately afterwards (and the following day too) and my lines seem to have been plumped up rather nicely (especially the night I did the mask - wow! I was not expecting that!). The mask smells good (very natural, what you'd expect given the ingredients, ie: no chemical smell) and was easy to apply. I left it on for the specified 15 mins and it was immediately cooling (so much so that I'm sure my body temperature dropped). As an aside, I'm menopausal so this is a definite plus as I seem to be running at a higher temp than the folks around me these days - this should be marketed at menopausal women, Garnier have missed a trick there! I feel this mask would be fantastic in the summer time too, a great treat for your skin and it cools you down so it's a win/win. Most masks I've used in the past are pleasant enough but there wasn't really any visible, lasting results. I think, with the hyaluronic acid and aloe vera (which I've used for my hair in the past as it's super moisturising), and with continued regular use, I'd get quite lasting results. I'm definitely going to be trying this again.

I loved this jelly sheet mask, the serum in the mask is quite thick and is a really nice texture. As a mum with a newborn you can set my face was looking very tired and fatigued! This mask worked so well and gave my skin a refreshing boost. I loved the cooling menthol on the skin, it has the same feeling of lip plumping glosses- if you don’t like the feeling of those type of lip glosses this mask may not be for you. I would use this again and buy it

I am happy to say l loved trying this face mask, it was so refreshing and l felt it firmed my skin after 15 mins of use , l did use it a few more times as there was a lot of product in side ! I had no reaction to the Glycerin, Hyaluronic, Menthol even though my skin is fairly sensitive. They had a lovely cooling effect on my face , Definitely would recommend them to anyone wanting a refreshing experience after along day . Thanks

Being a fan of minty and cooling products, I was excited to try this mask.

It comes in a paper based sachet which is a good alternative to the more plasticky ones. Pulling the mask out I immediately noticed a refreshing cucumber-mint fragrance which was fairly strong but pleasant. The mask was soaked in a thick gel-like serum and the mask fabric itself felt saturated and thick.

While applying the mask to my face I could tell that it was a different shape to the standard Garnier sheet masks - these ones are a bit narrower and the eye and mouth holes are smaller. The standard ones fit my face perfectly so these left a bit of a gap on the sides of my face.

There was an immediate and quite intense cooling sensation on application, like putting ice water on your face. This feeling lasted the whole 15 minutes but I enjoyed it so much that I left it on for longer.

Upon removal my face felt so refreshed and I felt much more awake. The serum, being thicker than usual sheet masks, leaves a sticky feeling that takes a long time to absorb. I usually leave it on as I have dry skin but you may want to wipe it off.

This mask did not irritate my sensitive skin or eyes, but be careful not to get the serum in your eyes because it is heavily mentholated.

Can’t wait to use these in summer!

I haven't purchased much Garnier before because I've never heard much about it. I often buy things based on recommendations from friends or youtubers or influencers. But I was pleasantly surprised by how good this mask is!

It's super cooling and calming and I can see this being particularly awesome in the summer time. I love that it contains nice soothing ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. For my dehydrated, almost 40 year old skin it was a god send. Additionally, as a mum and step mum with three young kids in the house I never get enough sleep, and this really REALLY helped me wake up when I applied it in the morning over the weekend.

I loved that it didn't irritate my sensitive skin, and is overall really gentle.

Other good aspects include that the mask is biodegradable, and the sachet is 50% paper. This is awesome but if Garnier can further increase their sustainability by reducing even further the percentage of plastic in the packaging, then I'd be even happier and it might be close to a perfect product.

I will definitely be buying more of these for a pick me up when I'm feeling a bit blah, dry skinned, tired, over heated.

I'm not vegan but the fact it's vegan seems good! And cruelty free is very important to me so that is a plus.

Didn't realise Garnier stuff could be so good honestly!

This was such a relaxing experience. I've used quite a few sheet masks over the years. Some great some not so great.

I really like the sound of a jelly mask as I use jelly lip oils and love them.

The mask itself was not quite what I thought it was (pays to read the back of the packet lol). I thought it was more of an actual solid gel mask not a sheet mask with jelly product on it. That makes more sense in my head ha ha ha.

It's a standard sheet mask soaked in a hydrating jelly mask. Although messy to apply it was pretty easy. I smoothed it on until I was happy with the way it was sitting and left on for the recommended 15 minutes.

Not 100% comfortable as the eye and mouth suits don't quite match up but it's a one size fits all mask so it's to be expected.

The product itself was nice and soft, almost had a cooling sensation to it. These would be perfect for the summer popped in the fridge.

Made my skin feel nice and hydrated and very clean.

These would be the perfect pick me up.

Definitely enjoyed this and will probably purchase a few.
