Garnier Hydra Bomb Green Tea Tissue Mask Review

I was having a bad day, and so in a grumpy mood I picked this up from the supermarket to cheer me up. It was on special for $3.50 which was a nice bonus.

The one thing I dislike about tissue masks is the wastage. The amount of product left in the packet and in the mask itself after you've finished applying it makes me feel a bit ripped off. So I always squeeze out the excess onto my decollatage.

The scent of this mask was super refreshing and light. I felt instantly calmer as I applied the cool mask to my face. The shape and size of the mask was a bit too small around the eyes and mouth, so I had to concentrate really hard to not get any product in my eyes or mouth. But this is probably the case with most tissue masks.

After initially removing the product I dabbed the excess into my skin and instantly noticed how plump and hydrated my skin felt.

The next morning was where I was really impressed. My skin still felt super hydrated and I felt naturally radiant. I wouldn't say that it mattified my skin, but I wasn't fussed about that.

The hydration certainly lasted 24 hours, leaving me one happy customer! I will definitely repurchase next time I need a little pick-me-up.

I love the bright green packaging it’s eye catching and stands out I’m loving green tea at the moment as I find it really refreshing so was looking forward to trying this.

I opened it up and it has a folded up mask standard of a tissue mask it was very wet. I find when they are too wet it can make it squish in your eyes if your not really careful because of the cut outs.

I found it a bit tricky to apply with the blue layer being so thin and I found it hard to remove the blue once I had the mask on so i removed the blue layer first and found it easier to apply to my face.

When you smooth it on it’s very cooling and refreshing I can’t really smell the green tea which I found a bit disappointing.

I left it on while in the bath when I removed it I rubbed the excess into my skin but I don’t overly feel like it has made much difference to my skin.

Im looking forward to trying the pomegranate one to see if there’s a difference with results I had.

I wanted to be so on trend and wear this mask like all the insta famous people! I mean it is so on trend to try a tissue mask.

So last night I ran a bath (Lush xmas range is out people!! And while I am upset Yognog has not returned that is a story for another day...) anyway I run my bath and I might have taken an adult beverage and dark chocolate in there with me.... Hey this is a judgement free zone right??

My first issue is - DO NOT apply this in the damn bath. It was hot so my face got hotter and it all ended badly. Not to mention you can not drink wine with this on.... Straws next time.

Before my face got sweaty and the mask all but slide off my face in the bath. It felt nice and it was extremely relaxing. Taking me time in the bath to the next level.

It fit my face well but ladies tie your hair up... Lucky for me this is already a go to for a bath when you have long hair... I don't actually know how long it was on before it slide off but at least 6-8 songs which I was happily listening too.

If this product gets in your eyes it does sting so you really want to be careful of that when putting it on and taking it off. You also really want to remove the access.

The next morning (today) my skin did feel soft and hydrated even though I did not apply my night cream. Which was a nice bonus but by afternoon it was dry and crying out for some moisture - so maybe not quite 24 hours.

I think these would be a fab treat for a pamper night or a bit of me time but I would like to try them again just not in the bath. It really was a disaster.

I was skeptical about it when I pulled it out of the packet but it's really amazing, you can feel it working on the face and the smell is quite lovely. 1 out of 2 things is that it seems quite big for the face (i have maybe what 1 would call a round face) and fave feels a bit tacky after rubbing the access in but definitely not feeling disappointed in this product and will be buying it especially to try after I've had a walk, shower and cleanse.

This mask comes in very nice, eye catching packaging promising hydration, balancing, pores shrinking etc.

I found the mask itself nice and fit my face well, the addition of the film was helpful. It has a nice fresh smell and didnt burn at all.

I left it on for the allotted time of 15 minutes and after gently massaged the extra serum into my face and neck. straight after my skin did feel plump and hydrated, I didn't feel like my pores looked any smaller though.

The next day my skin did still feel nice but for some reason I was expecting a bit more.

All in all I think this was a lovely addition to skin care and for a burst of hydration, I am just not sure about the other claims on the packet

This is the first tissue mask I have ever used. I've always wanted to try them as they are proving to be very popular at the moment. This packet contained one mask which I applied after cleansing as instructed. The mask was easy to apply and smooth onto my face. I thought it would be a bit fiddly but it wasn't. The mask was quite slippery due to the liquid on the mask, but it still stuck to my face without slipping off even when sitting upright.

After using this mask my skin felt refreshed, it was really plump and my skin was instantly smoother. My skin also felt quite sticky and wet so I wiped the excess product off with a towel. I didn't cleanse as I wanted the product to still absorb into my skin.

The mask is meant to provide 24 hours of hydration and I've found that it does as it says. I applied my mask at night and followed it with my normal night moisturiser. I didn't use an oil or a serum. In the morning I followed my normal routine and applied serum and moisturiser. I found that my skin was really plump and because I have combination oily skin I probably didn't need to apply

Overall i really enjoyed using this mask and I would definitely purchase this again. The price of this product was really cheap and affordable.

I was super excited to trial this new Garnier face mask, as it sounded like it would work wonders on my skin type. I have oily/combination skin. My nose is particularly oily and I also have enlarged pores in this area.

I decided to use this mask one night after cleansing my skin in the shower. I took the mask out of the packet and tried to place it on my face but the protective blue film made it difficult. Not sure what the purpose of this film is, but it's way easier to apply the mask once this layer is removed.

The mask wasn't quite the perfect shape for my face. The eye and mouth holes weren't wide enough, which meant I got a bit of the product in my eyes leaving them a bit stingy. Also the mask has gaps around the nose area, so it didn't cover the sides of my nose which is where I get the most oily. I rubbed the product with my fingers into these areas to get the full benefit of the mask.

Aside from these things, I did like the mask. It was very cooling and refreshing. I think it would be great to use on a hot day during the summer months. When I woke up the next morning my skin felt soft and hydrated, even though I hadn't used moisturiser after removing the mask. My skin was also not as oily as it would be in the morning.

Definitely give this mask a try if you have oily/combination skin. It's a decent price and it would be great for a summer pampering night.

To ensure I got maximized benefits from this product I gave my face a scrub with a good exfoliating cleanser. I now had dry skin so the hope it would really absorb all the goodness. The mask had a protective backing like a sticker does to peel away before you apply to your face. I must say although the peel off backing was not the same material as the tissue mask I did want to put it back into the packet with the remainder of the mask liquid and squeeze / stretch out a second use from the product as there was plenty of liquid in the bottom of the packet. I applied the mask and I looked like Micheal Myers from the Halloween movies - a bit of fun for the family. The scent was nice a fresh not strong I do not think it smelt much like green tea though. The liquid of the mask appeared to be clear and felt a bit like a very runny gel. The results were okay but nothing that made me a big fan of the product in saying this I have only used it once as a trial not long term. Some of the liquid must have absorbed into the skin as there did seem to be a layer or film on my skin afterwards without too much shine. My pores were plumped from hydration but I do not think this literally shrinks your pores. Testing the 24hour hydration claim: I applied the mask the night before and in the morning my skin felt dry again in some places but the area around my nose was a little bit oily yet on the packet it says it does not leave the skin feeling greasy or oily. the film/layer I mentioned earlier was gone. I did not notice much if any improvement on my imperfections except that my skin was hydrated. Hydration can help make wrinkles and pores look improved but does not really get rid of the problem it can help prevent more from coming. The mask has hyaluronic acid which aides to brighten skin, restore moisture and revitalize the outer layers of skin. Green tea for skin has anit-oxidant and anti-aging properties protecting against free radical damages and delaying the aging process. Green tea can be used as an alternative to treat acne and brighten the face.Green tea has caffine which may help you look more awake and tone the skin. Green tea on its own can be used as a toner and help to tighten pores in the skin. Verdict for me is I will not be buying these anytime soon I have other products to use up and at $5 for one use when you can buy a tube with many uses for a bit more is better value. Although these types of masks are fun and ideal for travel or a treat I think if I really like the idea of green tea I will just make a mask using fresh green tea from a T bag brew. Thank you for the opportunity to trial this product.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to review this tissue mask! I had never given a tissue mask a go so I thought why not! First off it does not in any way make you look pretty, my guy mate flat mate had a giggle at how silly I looked. The instructions were very simple and the mask was easy to put on, the protective film was a bit unnecessary and time wasting. I was not a fan of how cold it was on my face and it kept just about slipping off my face, it could be because I have a smaller face. It defiantly made my skin feel more hydrated without leaving it feel oily and greasy. I have sensitive combination skin, it didn't make my skin sting. There was a lot of formula still left over on my skin afterwards, I massaged it in as much as I could then wiped off the excess. It didn't leave my skin hydrated for 24 hours but it was for half a day or so at least! I felt pampered but I don't think I would want to do this weekly, purely because I couldn't walk around and do much at the same time it was on. I thought it was going to smell like tea tree or something along those lines but it just has a nice refreshing smell which I liked. I would recommend to my friends and buy it for a gift!

I was lucky enough to be one of the people selected to trial the Green Tea mask. My skin tends towards quite dry in areas, and of course the usual T Zone hormonal oily mess once a month! I absolutely love face masks so was really keen to try this one out.

The instructions on the back of the pack are really clear to follow – basically you apply the mask to your face (white side to skin), gently remove the blue wrapper and then smooth any wrinkles out.

It all seemed quite straight forward until I applied it – with the blue wrapper on, it has really narrow eye spacing and the outside of my eyes were covered. I was a little worried it wasn’t going to work for me, however as soon as I removed the blue wrapper, there was more room. The mask itself is quite large so I had to double it over on my cheek, but the placings of all the cuts and holes worked well so I got a good fit to my skin. With the mask on it really is a bit like silence of the lambs! I left it on for the recommended time before peeling it off and rubbing the excess product into my skin.

So – the results?! My skin felt amazing afterwards – incredibly nourished and plumped. The next day it was still feeling lovely and smooth and really hydrated with no oily spots. At $5 a mask it's a bit up there in terms of price, however I am completely sold on this and will happily add it to my mask range as a special treat.
