Garnier Hydra Bomb Chamomile Tissue Mask Review

I have very dry skin year round and am always looking for anything that will help hydrate it. The Garnier hydra bomb tissue mask states it is an ultra hydrating soothing mask which instantly rehydrates skin, so I was quite optimistic about the results I might get. The positives - it definately delivers on being very soothing. My skin felt very comfortable the whole time I had the mask on, mildly cool and soothed. The negatives - I didn't feel this mask hydrated my dry skin whatsoever. In fact I had to apply my usual moisturiser about an hour after using this mask because my skin had dried out again. It definately didn't give me 24hr hydration. The mask is however very easy to use, and not messy at all. I think this mask would be better suited for people with normal/combination skin who might like abit of a small hydration boost, but if your dealing with very dry skin, I can't really recommend it as I personally didn't find it hydrating enough.

I'll start of with the packaging because it was the best thing about it. It's the size of my hand, bright, beautiful and easy to open.

Carefully reading the easy-to-follow instructions I then opened the pack and attempted to pull the mask out. The layers fell apart in my hands. Holding it up with both hands I already knew this slimy mask was not going to fit my face.

You have to have a longer face shape as it crunched up under my eyes and didn't fit my facial structure correctly. The noise piece was small and absolutely nothing lined up. I continued to get correct it how ever and pulled the top layer off. It slid around on my face so I thought I'd lay down and relax. It slid off the side of my face but I corrected it each time as I wanted to know if the effects were worth it.

I stood up, it slid off and I then washed the excess slime off my face. It had no beneficial results for me. My face did not feel fresh or soft or brightly.

Unfortunately this isn't made for people with small faces. I hope they bring out something that can be made for all face shapes.

So I got my sample and was so excited to try it. I needed some pampering. The packaging was quite neat. It was bigger than I thought but looked nice. I read the instructions and it seemed simple enough. However when I opened the package and took it out I was surprised. It was dripping wet!! It was also very cold. Hmmm I thought, well here goes. I laid it on my face and tried to find the outer layer to peel off, I managed to find it. The mask was so slimy I had to wipe my hands, and it was really cold. I lay there with this cold slimy gloopy mask on for the 15 minutes it said. My face was tingly. I didn’t feel very relaxed or pampered, my dog came in and gave me such a look I laughed and thought oh well, we shall see what the results are. I took it off at the end and as it suggested used cotton balls to wipe off the remaining gloop. The plus side is, my face did look very hydrated after, nice and “plump” looking.

The first thing I want to mention about this facial mask is how easy it is to use!

Super straight forward instructions and 100% relaxation.

My skin is a little on the fussy side. It's a combo of dry and acne prone with a little bit of oiliness depending on the season. Coming out of winter my skin was been dry and sensitive to certain products I've been using. Less than ideal but this mask is exactly what my face needed.

Applying the white side to my face and adjusting it to make sure it was on correctly j then peeled the blue side off and wha la. I say for 15 minutes and let it work it's magic.

Other than it being really gooey I felt nothing on the face, no sting, no ouch nothing. If anything it was refreshing! After the 15 minutes were up I removed the mask and noticed how less 'gooey' it had become. I massaged the remaining cream left on my face from the mask into my skin. While it felt quite tacky to start with my skin really did feel hydrated. My forehead has been the worst for dry skin and i swear my forehead loves it! My skin was soft and moisturised. 24 hours on and I hadn't needed to apply my usual moisturiser for the day!

I'm highly impressed with this mask. My skin absolutely loved it. I did wake with a couple of pimples on my chin but I can't say this mask was the cause. I'm keen to stockpile these beauty's, they even smell amazing!

At New World they offered 50% off of a lot of Garnier products, if not all of them, so I picked up a few of this type of mask, as my skin is a wee bit dry and has more mood swings than a hormonal teen.

I think they could have made the packaging smaller, but otherwise it's eyecatching and apparently hard for the supermarkets to stack. Ripping it open is easy unless your hands are moisturized, and inside is the promise of calm and hydrated skin in the form of a white sheet.

To be honest, the smell of this isn't something I was expecting - I was hoping for more of a flowery scent but instead it was quite herbal. Whatever it is, it's not unpleasant.

I was pleased to find that the sheet mask was moist. A lot of sheet masks I've used in the past have been moist but not to this extent. I am pleased by this fact, and will want to try the others because of it.

I put it on my face and while the mask was too big in the forehead and nose, it still sat quite nicely on my face with only a bit of sheet overlap. I sat down and began watching a new TV show, and after 15 minutes the mask was still moist. Amazingly the bit that is above my lip and under my nose was still stuck to my face. 30 minutes later, it was still stuck to my face! I was super impressed with that, as most of the Asian brand ones I've tried that area dries out rather quickly.

When I took it off I thought the sheet mask was surely on the verge of drying out but it still had a very wet feel to it, but not as much as when I put it on. I rubbed the excess moisture into my skin and then continued my skin care. I actually missed a few steps as my face just felt that hydrated and soft.

I'd definitely buy this again, on special or not. It's a good way to get a quick fix of sheet mask!

I got this mask in the 2018 - A New You BBBE. I was quite happy as I enjoy a tissue mask now and again. I'd spent a hard day working outside in the wind and dust and felt like my skin needed a boost.

The mask comes inside a foil pack and was very wet and saturated with product when I removed it. In spite of that, it was easy to apply and not stuck to itself like tissue masks often are - maybe the higher saturation helps with that?

Anyway, I sat with my mask on and watched a movie. It was cool and quite pleasant, if not a little weird, to have on my face for a long time. When I removed it, my skin felt damp and sticky, but a short time later once it had dried, my skin felt soft and smooth. I have dry skin, so it was nice to feel cool and hydrated after this mask. My skin looked and felt clean and fresh, with no sign of any irritation. After I'd taken off the mask, I rubbed the excess product into my neck - always an area that can do with more, more more, hydration!

I enjoyed it and feel like my skin benefitted from it, so for $4.99 I would purchase another one.

Tissue mask

I haven’t used a tissue mask before so I really had know idea what to expect. The packaging was appealing to the eye, it was easy to open and all the instructions for application of the mask are on the back. All looked easy enough when reading them but, easier said than done. When I opened the foil package I was overwhelmed with the amount on liquid the mask was in. I awkwardly applied the mask to my face and removed the protective blue film. Once I had applied the mask I looked like a had put my Halloween costume on early! But don’t be alarmed that is how it supposed to look! (just don’t make the same mistake as I did and try have a serious conversation to your husband at the same time!!)The mask is easily adjusted fit around the eyes, mouth and nose. It felt very cold and very wet however over the 15 minutes it was on I began to get used to it and thankfully for a person with sensitive skin it did not cause any irritation. After the 15 minutes had concluded I removed the mask and as instructed left the excess serum to soak in. This took a while as there was a lot left on my face. Initially after the mask my skin felt very hydrated and smooth. However in the morning my skin did not feel any different. I still had to moisturise just as much if not more than any other day, which is confusing as it supposed to give 24hours hydration. Don’t think I’ll be using this product again. Would have loved for it to have done what it had said it would as my skin certainly needs the extra hydration without any irritation.

I love a good sheet mask and usually pick them up on my travels through Asia. It’s great to now be able to pick some good options up in my local supermarket. These are often on special so can be picked up at a good price. Personally I think the full price of $4.99 is a bit much for a single use item.

As this version of the mask is chamomile, I was expecting it to be moisturising and soothing. It felt exactly like this when it was on and it didn't drip at all. There was still a lot of serum left on my face when I removed it which I lightly patted in. It did feel quite sticky so I didn’t put any moisturiser on afterwards. The next morning my skin still felt soft and supple afterwards. I don’t think this mask has any long term benefits but I would use this again as a relaxing treat.

Eek, I was so excited to trial this product! I have used this types of masks before, with various degrees in effectiveness, however I think this one would have to be one of my favorites...for the results. Getting the mask out of the packaging took a little bit of effort as the solution is quite goopy. Once out of the package, it took a bit of manourvering to fit onto the contours of my face...but it was a lot of fun trying! I left it on for the 15 minute suggested time. The mask solution felt jelly-like and extremely cold but soothing. On removal, my usually red complexion appeared calmed and normal. My skin feels completely saturated in hydration and is super soft to the touch. I am pretty impressed with the Hydra Bomb mask, it totally lives up to its name and I will definitely be repurchasing! I've had to put make up on for work and I can not believe how much less foundation my face required and how it's sits so nicely!

Super impressed!

I recently tried the new Garnier Hydra Bomb Tissue Mask and I was a little bit disappointed. The product was quite slimy in texture and felt cold and unpleasant on my skin. That said it was fine once it was on my face and it had started to absorb and warm up a bit. It was easy to apply but the eye holes required some adjustment to make them a little larger (I had to cut them). Once the 15 mins was up I followed the instructions and patted the remainder of the product in to my skin which was quite nice. The product absorbed quickly and didn't leave any greasy residue. The next day I did notice that some of my dry spots were improved and my skin felt normally hydrated all day. Whilst it did do what it said it would, the slimy texture is a little off-putting for me so I probably wouldn't use this on a regular basis.
