Garnier Hydra Bomb Chamomile Tissue Mask Review

I have previously used one tissue mask before and I had such a great experience with it I was excited to trial this Garner Mask.

The mask comes in a foil type packet. It is easy to open and the instructions on the back are very clear and easy to follow but the easiness unfortunately stops there. The application was messy there was a lot of serum which made it hard to press the mask down smoothly onto my face. It also didn’t help that the mask was a bit big for my face so it ended up getting in my hair.

Initially I found the mask rather unpleasant as the serum or goo felt very cold and slimy and I needed to keeping pressing the mask down so I’m not sure if you would say that it was a relaxing experience. Once the 15minutes where up I felt like the mask hadn’t done it thing so I left it on another 10minutes. This extra time allowed the serum to absorb into my skin more. I was rather surprised I needed to leave it on longer as my skin is on the drier side. Once I removed the mask I follow the instructions and massage the rest of the serum into my skin but once it had dry I decided to wiped it off with a damp facecloth as it felt like I have residue left.

The results were more positive. I found the mask was very cooling and smoothing on my skin and my skin definitely felt more hydrated the next day.

The things I really like about this mask are: It is very suitable for sensitive skin there was no rashes, redness, tightness or stinging. It was quite hydrating and lasted at least a day and it is a reasonably price compared to some other tissue masks. Unfortunately I just feel that the application and fit of the mask lets it down and for this reason I would be unlikely to purchase this in the future.

Garnier has been a brand I've trusted and used heaps. It's easily accessible and pretty affordable. I was super excited to be a part of this trial team as I can never say not to a good facial mask especially if it's a sheet mask. What I love about it is that it's so easy to use, you just take it out of the packet, pop it on your face, take it off when you're done and you don't even need to rinse. I don't think there's really a strong smell to this, if any at all it's only a slight fragrant smell but very natural so it doesn't overpower or anything. I generally have pretty oily skin but I've recently found myself trying to hydrate my skin a bit more and this has definitely helped. I used it at night and woke up and my skin felt super soft and really moisturised. I'd definitely recommend this even if you have oily skin because rather than adding to the oils its more of a moisturising feeling.

Oh seeing the reviews for the Garnier tissue masks I had to give them a go. I chose the chamomile mask as my skin is on the drier side and I love a good bit of hydration.

The mask was saturated in product, and I found it easy to unfold and apply (some sheet masks I've used have ended up in rips and tears - not this one!).

What I found interesting during the 15 minute mask time was how the tissue progressively felt drier on my skin, as if my skin was sucking in the product.

I peeled off the mask and there was a goodly amount of product on my face so I did as suggested and wiped off the excess with a cotton pad and massaged the leftovers in.

The result? Super glowy, super hydrated skin - that still looked great when I woke up the next day.

I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a boost of hydration - this even made my deeper wrinkles plump up!

First of all I like the packaging of this mask, the sleek silver and pink metallic packet is easy on the eye but I do feel like it may be slightly oversized compared to others in the market. It was easy to tear open and also easy to unfold the mask without tearing. I found the blue protective layer a but useless Ann's unnecessary as it's coated in the product anyway, I'm not really sure what it was supposed to protect me from. Instructions are clear and printed on the reverse.

The smell of this product is beautifully floral in nature and gives a sense of pampering.

The feel of the product like many tissue mask is a little slimy in the hands but once applied to the skin it's more of a watery nature and have a cooling band soothing affect from the second it was on. I found the eye holes potentially a little small on this mask as I struggles to position it without hitting some eyelid so I had to cut small triangles out of the tissue with scissors to feel comfortable I wasn't getting product in my eyes. After this it applied easily and smoothly.

It was easy to remove the tissue mask from my face. there was a lot of product left on my face so as instructions say I rubbed it in for a few minutes then wiped it off with cotton pads.

Afterwards my skin felt tighter and very hydrated. It looked smooth too. So I think for an intensive hydration mask this definitely does the job well.

Was a little difficult to get the blue layer off. The mask itself smelt nice. I found it an odd feeling to have on my face and wasn’t able to talk or move my facial muscles as well. The mask kept slipping down my forehead and lip so had to keep readjusting. It did make my skin feel very lovely and soft although I don’t think that lasted more than a day for me...

I've been having issues with my skin lately being really dry, rashy and sensitive so I've been trying alot of products to help. I was lucky enough to be given a hamper for my birthday from my kids and this sheet masks was in it. I like the packaging of the Garnier sheet masks they always get my attention in the shops especially when a new one comes out, I love to try them. This mask had alot of serum in it which was great cause i find the more serum the more effective the results are, it really soaks into my skin well and I had enough to wipe onto my neck afterwards. The smell was nice and refreshing and not too strong. It was really gentle on skin and didn't sting at all. I was really happy with the results from this mask it left my skin feeling so much better and will definitely use it again.

This was a really fun review, though not entirely successful on the part of the product! Never having used a tissue mask, I was curious about this and happy to be chosen. I followed the directions on the packet, opened it up, and placed the mask over my face, and then removed the outer layer.

The mask was sopping wet with the mask goop, which had a sort of fresh smell, but was not heavily fragranced. With being so wet, I expected it to drip, but it didn’t. I was sitting on the couch at the time - should have really been in the bathroom as I needed a few tissues to clean up my hands after placing the mask.

The mask was too big for my face and had to keep it out of my eyes to prevent the product going in them. This mask was supposed to be for Dry or Sensitive skin and promised to leave the face feeling Not tight, and Moisturised. After the mask was removed, some areas of my skin felt softer, but not a great deal more.

As the mask settled on to my face, I felt a few little prickles of irritation, but they didn’t get worse or more frequent. My skin can be sensitive but not too dry, so I thought it might cause a breakout the next day, but it didn’t.

After the 15 mins was up, I removed the mask. The instructions say to massage the remaining goop into your face. This was not feasible as there was HEAPS of goop stuck to me, so I wiped it off, and my face was then damp. A little while later my face like there was still ‘stuff’ on it, so I washed my face with clean water and patted dry. $5 seems reasonable for a large portion of a one-off mask, and is comparable to other sachet face masks.

On evaluation, I find that this seemed like a good idea but with the large fit and luxurious amount of goop, it seems not worth the hassle - I’d rather use a mask I can spread on myself.

I picked up a couple of these masks when New World had a wonderful 50% off, so they were only $2.50! Awesome price.

It comes in a rather large foil packet which is easy to rip open. The mask is drenched in product, I've found the other masks from this range to also be like this so I guess it is standard for these.

It was easy to unfold and the blue sheet peeled off with ease after I had placed it on my face. It fitted my face rather well which I liked. I left this on for 20mins, it didn't feel claustrophobic at all.

Once removed there was a lot of product left on my face, I massaged it in and it felt sticky for a few minutes then settled down. My skin was left hydrated and plump. My skin is so dry so it loves this mask.

The next day my face looked fresh and radiant, so hydrated and soft. I love these garnier masks. Will be buying more for my mask stash.

I was excited to try this mask - I've never tried a tissue mask before and I was super curious on two things.

1: The claustrophobia factor. The mask failed this one sadly. It's a thick tissue and is FULL of formula. Placing it on my face I struggled to line it up properly, but after removing the blue backing, it sat a little bit better. But not great. The combination of the cold formula, thick tissue and ill-fit made me feel really uncomfortable. It did sit on my face for the duration though, no peeling or slipping.

2. The sensitive test. One pet peeve with cosmetics is that producers often confuse sensitive with dry. My skin is not generally dry, but it is sensitive and red and itchy. I was super surprised that this passed the test. It didn't irritate my skin, and it didn't leave me looking like an oil slick. On removal there was a lot of formula left behind but it rubbed in nicely.

The skin verdict: meh. Yes my skin looked and felt nice about three hours later. It looked 'plump', and a little smoother and fresher. But the next morning, there was no real noticeable difference.

Would I buy it again? Probably not. I have a new appreciation for cream masks. With them I can control the amount of product I use and place it exactly where I want it to go.

I received the Hydra Bomb tissue mask and I was looking forward to trying this sheet mask. The instructions on how to use it are pretty simple and straightforward and the pack contains 1 tissue mask for single use. I opened the pack and found the mask to be soaking in serum. I applied it on and removed the protective blue film, it is quite easy to adjust it around your eyes, nose and mouth area. It was very cold and sloppy but it did not drip down my neck or clothes, it’s best to do this lying down so that it doesn’t slide off. I tried this on late evening before bed,left it on for 15 mins as instructed and peeled it off from the edges. There was a lot of serum on my face. So I massaged the excess into my skin and had to wait an extra 10 mins for it to get absorbed into my skin but still had to wipe some off. My skin did feel quite nice after that, pretty soft but because there was so much serum left over,there was a slight bit of stickiness which did go away after but it does take some time. However the next morning when I woke up my skin around my mouth area was really dry, dryer than what it normally is, and this mask is supposed to give 24hr lasting hydration, but it didn’t do that for me. I ended up using a different hydrating cream mask that morning to give my skin some relief. I was disappointed because upon application this did not irritate my skin at all and would have been good treat during hot summer days. Don’t think I’d be buying this again. Sorry not for me.
