Garnier Fresh Mix Tissue Mask Vitamin C Reviews

I was very excited to use this product because of the way you fold the packaging in order to mix the serum into the sheet mask. I was also curious to see the effect it had on my skin. So let's go through the pro's and con's.

PRO'S

Very generous product. There was so much serum that you could use it again if you had a spare plain sheet mask. In fact the next evening I kept the packet and massaged some left over serum on my face.

Extremely hydrating. The serum is thick as well and is instantly hydrating. If you leave it on overnight, your skin is left hydrated and soft. This would be great for someone who has dry skin or has dry patches.

Easy application. The mask itself absorbs a lot of the serum and is very cooling, and easy to unfold and place without much fussing.

Skin looked refreshed, radiant and energised like it said it would.

Mask is guaranteed to be fresh as you mix the product yourself.

CON'S

Serum is quite sticky which made the mask very slimy. This may bother you if you like sheet masks to feel more fresh and crisp than this indulgent mask. I personally wanted to keep the serum on as I wanted to see the results of leaving it on till morning (You can wash the excess off if you'd prefer). It took over 20 minutes after taking the mask off, for it to actually sink in to my skin comfortably. I did a lot of massaging and extending the serum all over my neck, but it would be sticky if I moved my head. The next evening I put a little bit on my face again to give it a second chance and it sank in easier.

The next morning I found that as I gently rubbed my face to see for a change in texture, it started rubbing off. Because of this I had to be very gentle applying makeup. This also happened the next evening...even with much less serum.

Uneven complexion. My face can be uneven with a little blotchiness/pinkness and what not, so I was curious to see if that would even out from the serum and how it's quite cooling. I must admit it made my blotchiness a little more obvious. Which I was a tad disappointed about since the cooling and soothing part of the mask might of helped my skin battling the heatwave.

Bumpy skin. I have never suffered from pimples, too obvious breakouts or acne, but my skin the next morning was more bumpy and pores slightly visible. I was surprised since I washed my face and applied Micellar water on my face using a makeup pad to remove any leftover makeup and clean. This may just be a reaction to my skin and not necessarily have this affect on everyone.

OVERALL

Overall I probably wouldn't purchase this but if given to me I might give it another shot and wash it off next time. The stickiness of the serum seemed to be the issue for me as it took a while to absorb and was sticky in the process...which led to the serum rubbing off and bumpy skin.

I was pleasantly surprised with this mask. It came in a split pouch keeping the serum separate from the mask. I wondered how messy it was going to be to use, but literally had no mess. Folded pouch as instructed and the serum flows into the mask area of the pouch. Tear open and pull out the mask. So easy.

I haven’t used this style of face mask, o lay using the creams you apply direct to your face so was a little sceptical. However, the tissue mask was easy to put on and ensure my face was fully covered. I was concerned that it might drip, but it didn’t. It felt nice and moist, not drying at all, and had a nice smell too.

So easy to remove, no mess (again) so that’s a nice change from trying to get a usually face mask off. My skin was so dry that there was not much serum left once tissue mask as removed. I thought I might need to wipe off the excess but there was hardly any so I finished off my face treatment with a quick face massage to work the serum right in.

Straight away my skin felt much more moisturised and smooth. After 24 hours my skin still felt much more moisturised than it usually would. I would definitely buy this in the future. I’m now converted from the old school face masks to these tissue ones!

Love, love, love this!

I am coming out strong but my skin really did feel AMAZING after using this mask!

With great excitement, I added this trial to my Sunday evening pamper session. After going over the packet instructions I was set... or so I thought. The steps seemed clear but I thought it was 3 uses, that each compartment was another use. I got it completely wrong so had to do it my own way by pouring the liquid in a container and soaking the mask. So after this wee hiccup, I was enjoying my 15 min spa session. I took off the mask and massaged the extra solution into my skin - there was plenty left over so I plan to try it again! The next morning my skin still felt smooth and subtle. My makeup went on better too! 6 days on and my skin still feels great, however, would be great to do it again each week.

All in all, I will definitely be using this product. It stacks up to more expensive masks that also have big claims.

I've avoided tissue masks in the past - too messy and sticky, and unfolding them is a nightmare - but this mask was really fun and pleasant to use.

The mixing is simple, and you get oodles of 'serum' to infuse your mask with. Mine was dripping. I used the excess on my neck, decolletage and shoulders.

The mask smells pleasant and feels relaxing and cooling. I looked like something from a horror movie, and was glad my kids didn't wake up and see me looking all scary haha.

I left it on for 20 minutes, I felt no irritation at all, but it did feel like it was doing something, so that was reassuring I wasn't just wasting my time.

After use my skin was red and glistening from excess product. It was that 'just had a facial' look. The following morning, my skin was smooth, soft and glowed. Seriously, I looked good. A teacher commented on my beautiful skin at the school drop off, so safe to say I am really happy with the results.

The reasons for not marking it 5/5 - I think these will retail for $5-$6, so encouraging use 3 times a week is expensive.

There is quite a bit of product left over, which feels wasteful.

Otherwise, if you have dull skin, that needs a lift - give this wee intensive treatment a go. Bet it surprises you!

This was a really fun mask to use - I really liked the idea of mixing the serum with the dry sheet mask so that it was "fresh"!. The mixing process was really easy and well-explained on the back of the pack. The sheet itself was super easy to put on, however it was really dripping wet as there was a huge amount of serum in the packet! When I was finished with the mask, I didn't find that my face was left feeling too sticky when I removed the mask, as I sometimes do with sheet masks like this. My skin felt super smooth and soft and looked a little brighter after using this sheet mask, though I'd need to use it a few times to see if it really did produce long-lasting results! I did really enjoy this mask though, and would definitely re-purchase.

I was intrigued to trial this product. I love face masks but but have never heard or seen one like this before.

It has clear simple instructions on the back of how to use and the scent was lovely.

To use you simply fold the sachet according to the arrows then push the liquid from the bottom of the sachet through the seal into the top of the sachet where the dry tissue mask is. Once you have pushed all the Vitamin C shot into the mask I let it soak in for a little while and then placed on my face for 15 minutes as instructed.

There was a lot of vitamin c serum so the mask was very wet but it didn't make too much of a mess and was not sticky so that did not bother me.

After I removed the mask I instantly notice that my skin looked brighter and had a glow about it. I let the remainder vitamin c serum soak into my face naturally afterwards and my skin felt lovely and soft.

Three days on and my skin looks more energized and fresh. I enjoyed using this mask and would love to try the others in this range. I would definitely recommend.

Thank you BR :-)

i got picked to review this (thanks!) ive always wanted to try one, but with having eczema one my face im always very cautious when using new products. but i wanted to give it a try. the packet is all in one, mask at the top, serum at the bottom. following the instructions was easy, fold it into 1/3's and then squeeze the serum into the area where the masks sits. it says to wait till all the serum is absorbed but after almost 5 mins it hadn't so i took it out. it was slimy and kinda gross feeling, but since i had to review it, on my face it went. it took me a few minutes to get it into a good position, all though it didn't fit my eye area very well it was still manageable. it was on my face for 15 minutes, after that the packet says to take if off and you can either wipe off or rub in the excess, so i rubbed it in. and i have to say im pretty impressed! my skin doesn't often feel soft (because of the eczema) but it did! it feels rejuvenated, like it hasn't in a long time. im so pleased with it, i will be buying it!

I received this product as part of a Trial Team. For a bit of background, I have combination skin.

This mask comes in a pouch that is separated into two compartments; one containing the serum and the other containing the dry tissue mask. Immediately before use you are supposed to fold and squeeze the pouch to release the serum into the mask compartment. It contains approximately 30ml of serum.

The mask has a slippery, gel-like texture and is supposedly made of a cellulose mesh combined with algin, which turns into a gel upon contact with water/serum. It adheres to the skin very well and smooths out nicely, leaving minimal air pockets. The mouth cutout is smaller than other masks I have tried, which I liked because it allowed my mouth area to be treated too. However, the mask was too narrow for my face and left the sides of my jaw uncovered.

I left the mask on for about 15 minutes and it was still very wet with serum. Upon removing the mask I massaged the excess into my skin but it was still very sticky and did not fully absorb. There was plenty of leftover serum in the pouch which I rubbed onto my body skin, which I normally do with sheet masks. I found it also very sticky on my body.

Overall this is a very hydrating and moisturising mask due to the high glycerin content, but this also means it leaves a sticky residue on the skin. The fit of the mask has its pros and cons for me. Compared to other sheet masks I have tried, it was nothing special as I have tried other masks that had a very similar texture without having to be pre-mixed.

I would not use this product again as I don't enjoy how it left my skin feeling.

Overall great mask, real uplifting after a day in the sun. Leaves you with a glow as my partner noticed the next morning. Would also be enough for two masks if your frugal like me lol
