Garnier Hydra Bomb Green Tea Tissue Mask Review

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.

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

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.

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 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 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 green tea and I love sheets masks so of course I had to try this. I usually stock up on sheet masks when travelling in Asia so I was keen to see how an offering from a Western cosmetics giant would compare.

The pack was easy to open but I found the mask a little harder to unfold than other sheet masks I have tried due to the blue plastic backing sheet. In fact, I couldn't really see the point of this - it made the mask more difficult to apply and it seems wasteful. The holes in the mask seemed a little small to start with but I stretched the mask out using the slits on the side of it.

The mask felt really cool and refreshing when it was on it didn't drip at all. There was still a lot of serum left on my face when I removed it which I lightly patted in. It did feel quite sticky so it is best used at night. The next morning it did feel like I was washing the remains of the serum off in the morning and that it had just been sitting on my skin, rather than being absorbed, but my skin still felt soft and supple afterwards.

I found this mask comparable with its Asian counterparts in performance and price. At $4.99 it is a bit more expensive than the ones I usually buy, however I don’t have to go to Asia to get them! It can just fall into my supermarket trolley with the weekly shop!

The packaging for the product was very nice. It was well labelled. The pictures of the leaves on there were very nice. It makes me feel like it's very hydrating with the liquid on the packaging. It's great that it lasts for 24 hours. The mask looked great, a nice white colour and it was very easy to apply to my skin. After use my skin felt great! It was also very easy to take out of the pouch. A great product!

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!

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.
