Evolu Rehydration Rescue Masque Review

I was happy to be selected for this trial as my skin definitely feels the affects of the harsh winter air and tends to dry out.

The masque has a thick creamy consistency and when applied to the skin it feels more like a heavy moisturiser which absorbs completely. For this reason I decided to leave it on overnight as it has a comfortable feeling.

I definitely felt the affects of circulation quite soon after I applied it as my skin had a warm feeling, but not unpleasant

Once morning arrived I washed my face as usual and my skin was left feeling fairly hydrated but i wouldnt say i was impressed. I tested the product several times with the same result.

This winter has left my skin dry. Drier that usual. I have patches of flaky skin on my cheeks and in-between my eyebrows. Foundation clings to these patches and it's not a good look.

I'd hoped Evolu's Rehydration rescue masque might help with this issue as my usual moisturisers weren't doing much.

The tube had me at hello with its purple colour embossed with the evolu log. The scent is divine - very orangey, which is a favourite aroma of mine.

It's packed full of the good stuff - grape and kiwifruit extract, Manuka oil, hazelnut, borage and kawakawa. My hopes were high.

The masque is creamy with a hint of orange, it spreads over the face clear and oh my gosh, does my skin suck it up? Yes it does. If I were to compare it to something it would be to a person who has walked 100ks on a hot day and gets given their first glass of water. I've tried it twice. The first time for 30 minutes in case of irritation. I washed it off with a warm flannel and my skin was oh so soft and those patches of dryness had reduced considerably. The second time I left it on overnight and my skin was so plump the next day and the dryness had disappeared. ... and not returned, as I'm using this a couple of times a week to keep on top of it.

This is now part of my skin care arsenal. It's amazing. Totally worth the price as a little goes a long way and it does what it says it will do.

I was excited to trial this product and it didnt disappoint. I used the overnight method, where after cleansing I applied the lotion and slept on it and washed it off n the morning.

I was surprised that it resembles a lotion as its called a masque so was expecting something thicker like a traditional face masque.

The product itself has a slight fragrance which I found pleasant. Initially on application I thought it was quite greasy feeling, however my skin absorbed it pretty quickly. No greasy weird marks on my pillow!

I had a dry patch beside my eye and after applying for 4 days I noticed that the dry patch has improved. My skin feels softer and has less redness.

Overall I am really pleased with this.

This overnight treatment claims to improve skin elasticity, retain moisture and reduce redness. It is for mature or very dry skin but it was great if you have normal/combination skin too.

The texture of this masque is pleasantly thick but not heavy, I felt that my skin can still breathe. The formula was nice and smooth and not at all sticky. It has a light earthy/herb scent.

You can either leave the masque on overnight and wash it off in the morning or leave it on for a shorter time of relaxation. I choose the former and my skin was plump and glowing in the morning.

Found at my local pharmacy I was on the hunt for a new mask to try out as I am a fan of multi-masking and like to have a few on hand for whatever my combination skin decides to do. Being that the Evolu range was on offer with 30% my eye naturally pulled me over to their display.

With combination skin I have masks for oily areas, acne breakout, purifying and detoxing as it is a balancing act and at the time of purchasing this mask I was noticing that the drier areas of my skin, especially around the lips and chin area, were getting so dry that I would be sore so the rehydrating mask with its claims of delivering deeper, longer lasting moisture was just what I wanted.

The texture was thick but expected for this type of mask, it was creamy enough to spread evenly over the areas that needed to be treated without straying too far into the oily areas, which I am so glad I took my time to do so as even after the first use I noticed that my skin in the dry areas were plumper and smoother.

I initally used it 3 times a week as like I said I was having a rather bad dry moment but found that was far too much for my skin and have since scaled it back to as needed as it very quickly did what it promised by helping the area retain moisture that a few days afterwards I awoke to a rather greasy chin area which is a little out of the normal and I was using my regular night cream for balancing my skin so knew instantly that it was a result of the mask. I can handle oily areas when covering with makeup but dry areas are just a pain as they get all flaky so I have found that once a week is more than enough.

I am thinking that as my skin ages more that I might have to incorporate this in more often as I think it will be fab for that as it really plumps up the skin which in turn makes it firmer and slightly lifted.

This is the first Evolu product I have ever used - and I am really impressed. I am a firm believer in natural skincare and this masque is divine. The packaging is sleek and cool and this smells incredible - like a herbaceous mandarin cocktail.

I was expecting this to have a consistency like the Antipodes Manuka Honey Mask and sit on the skin - however my skin totally absorbed it and it doesn't feel greasy at all. My skin looks matte and it feels firm while the mask is on and its really comfortable. When I take it off my skin is firm and soft & feels really clean and fresh.

I have sensitive combination skin, and was worried this mask would be too heavy - but it isn't at all. I have left this on overnight and also applied it for an hour and washed it off - both feel great. A little goes a long way and I can see this lasting a long time.

Smells divine. All natural. Can be left on overnight. Tried a sample and can't wait to buy a whole tube!
