It is a nice hydrating sheet mask for the price. It has a lot of essence on the mask sheet but does not drip and make a mess. There are heaps of essence left if you want to use it up. The hydrating effect does last a good few hours if you wash the remaining essence off. If you don’t, it’s kind of like applying a serum on the skin. I couldn’t really see the purifying or balancing effects of the green tea and obviously I’m not expecting immediate results from one use. But overall, single-use sheet masks are quite bad for the environment.

Tips: Best to use before makeup for a boost of hydration. Otherwise use at night and apply a moisturiser to lock in all the moisture for a nice glow in the morning. Don’t leave the mask on for more than the recommended time. Definitely remove it before it dries up!
I have no doubt that I have glorious hydrated skin after using this, but the design was awful, the eye/mouth holes were so small that I actually had to cut them with scissors to be able to use the mask and even then the serum was too close to my eyes for my liking, and was touching my skin around my nose. If it was a gel or serum I would use it again but not as a sheet mask.
I've tried many of the Garnier sheet masks recently and this one was the worst by the long shot.
There was so much liquid in the packet you can't help but make a mess getting the mask out. It's super sloppy which makes it really hard to unfold the mask and stick it on your face properly. The fask also slips down your face much more than the other varieties.
I found that the serum didn't really absorb in the 15min time frame so it had to be rubbed in and left alone for a long time after talking the mask off (good thing I had lots more Downton Abbey to watch!).
In the end my skin did feel nice and hydrated but I'm not sure it was worth the hassle given I had better results with the other masks and with less fuss required.
Nothing extraordinary, but made my face feel fresh afterwards. Lots of serum leftover so I used it on my arms and neck. The mask was a little hard to fit my face, but maybe it was more technique rather than my face ;)
Nice and refreshing to use but was quite boring and plain. It did feel good and hydrating but there are more exciting and better smelling face masks. I think I also prefer a face mask that you apply to the skin instead of a tissue mask as it's not as nice and harder to use.
I'm a big fan of the Garnier tissue masks as an on-budget treat and was excited to try this one. It wasn't too soppy but I appreciated the blue protective film which adds a bit of stability when applying the thin tissue mask to your face. The green tea is a really nice, natural scent and it was lovely to take 15 minutes to relax with the mask on. Afterwards I massaged the excess product into my face and neck per the instructions and it more or less absorbed without stickiness. My skin definitely looked and felt like it had a hydration boost immediately afterwards but I'm not convinced that it lasted an entire 24 hours - probably just until I showered the following morning!
