Evolu Rehydration Rescue Masque Review

Liked the packaging, the box, container and colours. The soft purple tones looked classic and elite. Right now down to the serious business ...what's inside. An unctuous (love that word) creamy mask that was easy to apply. I applied it at night before bed after cleansing. The mask penetrated without leaving a sticky surface to stick to my pillow. The next morning I could feel a difference after the first use when cleansing my skin. It felt soft and smooth. Usually around my nose and chin it can feel course and dull. So far since using the mask (3 times in all) my skin has been glowing.

Package arrived and look pretty impressive in a shiny lilac box with an easy to open cap. Unfortunately the white writing on the box was pretty difficult to read - especially for us older people and i needed a pair of glasses....LOL Pretty easy application without stickiness, and I went to bed without having a second thought. Easily removed in the next morning shower and left my skin soft and glowing - moisturiser went on easily after toning and make up was a breeze.

There was not to much of a fragrance which i liked - the texture was pretty nice and easy to apply - i will keep on using this product as it definitely added moisture back into my dry winter skin.

This face mask brings life and vitality to dry skin, which helped improve elasticity of my skin by putting some bounce back into its previously depleted state. It soothed and calmed my sensitivities as well as deeply moisturised my tired skin. If you're after a mask which is easy to apply, smells lovely and doesn't need a lot of product to cover the face, this is it. When I think of a facemask, this is the sort of thing I think of. One of those you apply and then you have to sit still and relax for half an hour whilst it works it's magic. It's left my skin looking and feeling nice and smooth, and using a couple of times a week really softened my skin. No complaints at all and would happily buy this over and over again.

I was so excited to get on this trial as Evolu is a brand that I definitely want to try more of! Especially as my skin can be particularly dry so I knew this would be a product that would work for my specific skin type. I have also been travelling on planes a bit lately and that is something that dries my skin out even more.

The packaging is absolutely lovely on this. I really think that Evolu as a brand nails the classy packaging. Light purple squeezy tube with heaps of information on the outside - love when brands put the info on the actual packaging so I don't have to keep the box it comes in. Also love that all of the packaging is recyclable.

Also of note is that this product isn't tested on animals and is made in NZ.

The product itself is a milky cream colour, great if you wanted to use it on a long haul flight without getting weird looks (my husband just said he thought my skin was a bit paler than normal). It is nicely scented in a herbal flowery sort of way but it isn't too strong. The packaging says that you can use this overnight, but I don't really like doing that. I must say though it does dry down to a matte texture quite quickly so you don't need to worry about residue on your pillow. The mask drying down does make me wonder whether there is actually any benefit to leaving it on overnight. Personally I just left this on for a couple hours in the evening then wiped off with a warm face cloth before bed. The product itself sunk into my skin really well, and made it incredibly smooth and felt well moisturised. It also didn't increase my redness or any of my other usual sensitive skin issues.

I am really interested in this brand and tempted to try more! Luckily for me another reviewer mentioned that inside the box is a $20 coupon if you sign up to their newsletter... good deal!

The Evolu Rehydration Rescue Masque is a very special product that helps getting over dryness and the effects it can have on your skin. When applying, you don't need to use a big amount of product, because it spreads quite nicely as a thin layer and have a choice of either leaving it on for a while during relaxation or overnight. It has a pleasant smell, and comes in a handy tube. The skin feels refreshed and deeply moistured after usage, and this effect lasts for a couple of days. This effect increases with overnight usage. My skin is so dry that there is not much cleaning up to be done the next morning. It is quite an expensive masque, but used sparingly, it will last a while and is definitely worth the expense.

Absolutely stoked to be able to review this. This is my first time trying an evolu product and it deffintely didn't disappoint.

The packaging was perfect! The colour is a purplely-grey. The product designs and the aroma gave the product a luxurious feel.

This is super easy! I applied a thin layer after cleansing and toning and left on overnight as per the instructions. It definitely worked it's magic overnight. After washing, my skin was left feeling soft and clean.

Upon first opening I thought the size was a little on the small side (60ml tube) but after first use, you really only need a little bit so this will go a long way.

I like the fact that it is I'm a squeezable tube that way you will only be getting what you need.

Would I purchase in future? Yes! The only thing that is putting me off is the price. The approx $55 makes it slightly out of my price range. HOWEVER in the box there is a $20 e-coupon which you can redeem if you subscribe to the evolu newsletter!

Rain, wind, sun, snow on the mountain and air so cold you breathe steam, is not a recipe for hydrated skin! It's a recipe for skin like a dried up autumn leaf by the end of the day. Add to the outside elements the office air conditioning and I was in need some serious hydration at the end of the day. Enter Evolu Rehydration Rescue Masque! Rescue is the perfect word for it. Home from work, makeup off, masque on. A winning combination as it turns out. This masque comes in a squeeze tube (love that). Gentle enough to use every day (which I've done since receiving it), this masque has a thick cream consistency and applies so smoothly. It really is like putting a moisturiser on and forgetting about it. I believe the instructions say you can leave this on overnight, however I only did it for about half to 45 minutes in the evening. The results are just fabulous. My skin is smooth, plump, fresh, hydrated and ready for my night time routine. All of these things are still apparent in the morning. I’ve found the additional hydration from the masque has given that extra boost to my skin that one always needs over winter, my foundation is applying smoother and I’m really enjoying a masque that can be used every day. Love it!

Thank you BR for sending me this product to trial! I have heard of the brand Evolu, I've tried one or two products by them but I don't seem to hear enough about the brand - which we should!

This Rehydration Masque came at a really good time. I have dry skin, made even worse over winter, so I tend to resort to balms and oils. The packaging is a lavender purple colour, which at first gave me the impression that this product was going to smell like lavender...I kind of braced myself as Im not a fan of that scent..the relief! It smells super lovely..like lemony/lime/citrussy scents but ever so subtle. It's refreshing and enjoyable.

The product is very easy to use, its in a well packaged tube..easy to squeeze product out and easy to apply. The box states that you can either apply and remove with a wet towel after relaxation time or leave on overnight. I always went with overnight to give my skin some good rehydration. This feels cooling when you first apply..feels soothing & makes my skin feel super soft. My skin feels hydrated right away and by the morning my skin remains soft. It doesnt say how often to use it so I've been using this basically every night or every other night. My redness has improved really well and so has flaky areas on my face.

I am really impressed with this masque! I wish it was more affordable though!!

Evolu Rehydration Rescue Masque is advertised as a super-intensive moisture mask formulated for dehydrated skin that's sorely in need of revival. it is promoted as a rich intensive overnight treatment.

I love that the Evolu Masque contains no nasty chemicals such as parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oils, phthalates, sulfates, artificial colours or fragrances, and no animal products other than beeswax and lanolin. And top marks for being made in New Zealand with New Zealand Pure Spring Water.

The packaging is subtle, a light grey box with product information and a map of NZ on the front, but unfortunately has no expiry date on it which I would have expected with the use of natural products.

The masque comes in a squeeze tube and has a thick consistency but spreads easily over the skin. Being in a tube its also hygienic as you don't have to dip your fingers into the product unlike other masks which come in tubs. It has a very subtle fresh, clean scent, being fragranced with bergamot and sweet orange essential oils. The masque texture is thick and dense but not creamy, it’s easy to spread all over my face and leave a velvety feel. The masque is not oily or messy so it’s easy to use. In winter my complexion gets tired and dull, my skin is dry and dehydrated. I’ve noticed a lack of glow or brightness in my skin so I’m constantly looking for products that promote radiance, glow, and luminosity. After removing make-up and toning my skin I take about a good teaspoon of the masque and use a brush to apply the product to my face and neck. I gently massage the gel for approximately 10 seconds to help the gel penetrate deeply into my skin. I massage in a circular motion on my cheeks and in an upwards motion on my forehead and neck. It takes about 10 minutes for the masque to completely absorb. The masque has a nice texture and consistency that doesn't leave a greasy feel and is light enough so you can wear it overnight without creating a mess on your pillowcase. In the morning, I use a mild cleanser to clean my face and rinse with cold water or rinse off in the shower. I had high hopes for this product since over night masks are all the rage. The masque leaves my skin very soft after application. However I do not see any extra radiance added to my face as a result of using this product. I found it quite moisturising but not super hydrating. I was hoping for more even skin tone and deep hydration and it unfortunately disappointed me in that area. While I did not use it for a long period of time I didn't find that it did much for my skin. I expected more moisture and more glow. I find that my night creams are more effective than this masque. Maybe with continuous use, it could increase the hydration level in my skin and even skin tone over time. However, I do recommend this product for those with normal to slightly dry skin who prefer natural products because it does not contain harmful preservatives. 

As with any new facial product I try, I tested this product on the back of my hand before trying it on my face. After a few hours I'd had no reaction so thought I was good to go. Unfortunately not. My skin has been really dry of late with the air conditioning being on so much at work, so I was looking forward to trialing this product. With my skin being as dry as it is I opted for the overnight option on the box; cleansing, toning and then using the product and leaving it on overnight. Day 1: I noticed my skin felt a little heavy in the morning prior to rinsing the product off, once rinsed off my skin was definitely softer although I noticed a bit of redness around my nose and chin. This quickly faded after rinsing and doing my normal skincare/makeup regime. Day 2: Again my skin felt heavy and clogged in the morning, I noticed breakouts starting around my nose and on my chin (ugh!) - blessed with the skin I have, I only suffer from minor breakouts at a certain time of the month, and it wasn't that time, so was a little wary. Skin was definitely soft after I rinsed the product off. I noticed my pillowcase also had a greasy type film on it from the product, my face felt dirty in the morning. Day 3: I opted for the treat-me type option on the box as it was Friday, which is my bubble bath and relaxation night. After about an hour and a half of having the product on, I rinsed it off and noticed my breakouts were starting to look a little angry and redder than they had been. Day 4: opted not to use the product on this day with my breakouts as they were. Day 5: again opted not to use the product as my breakouts weren't clearing as quickly as I hoped. Day 6: breakouts were clearing so opted for the shorter timeframe, immediately noticed the skin around my breakouts went redder and my T-zone felt oily and clogged. While my cheeks and forehead felt soft, my T-zone just felt clogged and heavy. Day 7: last day of the trial, I used the product for a very short timeframe of 30mins, again the same results as Day 6. Overall I'd be reluctant to spend money on this product and wouldn't be purchasing it after the trial. It went on smoothly and a small amount was needed so it would be economical in that sense.
