I was excited to try the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Youthful Lifting Tissue Mask, because at my stage in life a little lifting is in order.
The pack is a stylish red foil, it looks rather luxurious. Inside is a tissue mask with a blue backing - and it's well-soaked in serum.
Applying was fiddly and I abandoned the instructions which had me putting it on my face then peeling away the blue outer, as when I tried the whole lot came off or moved on my face making it difficult to rearrange. Once I peeled and applied the mask went on easily.
The fit? On my smaller face it was pretty good - a little small around the nose and eyes, which makes me wonder how it would go on someone with bigger features.
I kept the mask on for just over 20 minutes and noticed during this time my skin sucked up a lot of the serum. It was also very cooling on the skin, which was lovely as it was a very hot night.
Once removed my skin looked clear, plumped and my large pores did appear visibly smaller. I don't know that I looked 'lifted', but I did look tighter. (I can't speak to fine lines and wrinkles appearing smaller as this was a once-off treatment, and the pack says it needs to happen regularly over the course of four weeks to see any results in the fine lines and wrinkles department.)
The next day my skin was still looking nice - not so tight in the pores, but definitely glowy. Next time (when I pick it up at the supermarket) I'll use it at the start of the day as I'd love to show my fresh-looking skin to the world.
Would I use it again and recommend it? Yes. I've had a run of sheet masks not doing a heck of a lot, and this one definitely did make my skin look better/glowier/tighter, which is a bonus when you're in your 40s.
After using a few sheet masks, I didn’t think this one would be much different, however there were some factors which help it stand out from the rest. Similar packaging to others, and the amount of packaging is one aspect that has me reluctant to purchase any more sheet masks. There was very little if any scent that I could detect. Opening the mask up was quite simple, and putting it on my face was very easy. I was impressed with how easy it was to align my eyes, nose and mouth, and there is a cut out to easily peel the protective cover away. From there it was even easier to smooth the mask to my face, and it all stayed in place, no slipping. The amount of moisture was just right, didn’t drip and the excess from smoothing it on went on my neck. After 15 mins I took it off and massaged in the excess. Skin definitely felt smoother and softer.
This is a great sheet mask, and one I would use again, for those times I want a mask, it don’t want to have to spend too much time or energy.
