Garnier Hydra Bomb Green Tea Tissue Mask Review

Despite wanting to try a sheet/tissue mask for some time now, I've never really gotten around to it, so was stoked when the opportunity came to give this Garnier mask a go. I had high hopes and I was not disappointed.

The mask itself is pretty straightforward, and for me is a lot more low maintenance than the clay masks I usually use in regards to the fact I can just remove the sheet and pretty much be done with it. The packaging is pretty simple, nothing mind-blowing in that regard, but it works. Scent wise, there is a mild scent but it's not unpleasant at all and once the mask is on you don't really notice it much. The mask itself is pretty slimy, but that is not unexpected considering the purpose of it.

I do have quite flaky (to the point of scaly) looking dry skin patches on my face, especially along the high points of my cheeks, between my brows and on my left eyelid and found this mask helped to alleviate this issue. I've tried everything from oils to exfoliators, moisturisers, serums etc to address the issues with the dry patches on my skin and nothing thus far has seemed to help . That is until now! I used the mask as instructed and wiped of the residual liquid with a cotton pad - it did feel a little bit sticky afterward, but that dries out after a bit. After it had dried, I applied some moisturiser and so far so good. Even though there is still some evidence of dryness on my face, it is not to the extent I am used to so I am quite pleased with the result. I think in future, I would definitely use this mask, or one similar to it again and I do see this becoming part of my regular routine.

I think this is well worth the try, especially if you think your skin needs a little pick me up.

First of all LOVE the packaging - the bright colours make it look so beautiful! When I first opened the bag the smell of the mask did have a slight hint of Green Tea and it smelt so refreshing. Once I put it on my face, it instantly felt amazing - the cooling sensation was intense and felt like it was re-hydrating my face immediately! I did notice that there was a lot of extra product that was left in the bag, which could have been used for another day and a lot was on the mask and my hands were covered when applying the mask to my face. Also the cutouts for the face features were in odd positions. There was too much fabric on one side and not enough on the other, also there was random holes on the sides that looked like they were for your ears but there wasn't enough fabric for them to get to your ears. However after removing the mask and rubbing the extra product into my skin it felt AMAZING! My face felt hydrated, plump but also so firm and tight - i instantly wanted to do another! I cant wait to try the other two types!

My skin type is quite oily, especially in my T-Zone. I have acne scarring and enlarged pores.

When I opened this product, there was so much product in the packet! It was almost dripping off the mask when I pulled it out. This shows value for money.

I liked the packaging. It was simple, easy to read with clear instructions on how to use it.

The mask felt so soothing on my partially wind burnt face. It didn't have a strong smell which I liked due to it being on my face for 15 minutes. I felt like the blue part you peel off was a bit unnecessary but it must stop the tissue sticking together in the packet. The tissue mask was also really big. This means it will fit all face shpaes and sizes!

Once I took the mask off and rubbed the excess product into my skin I felt like my pores were tighter and my skin tone was more even. My skin still felt great the next day!

I would use this again for sure

I enjoyed using this mask. It couldn't have come at a better time... My face was extremely wind burnt and dry so I eagerly applied the mask immediately after opening the parcel.. Instantly cooling amazingly refreshing Delivering moisture right where I needed to. It was pleasantly scented very easy to use and apply and definitely delivers on the moisture content. I have sensitive skin and was wondering if it would be neutral or if it would cause a reaction... No reaction just blissful cool moisture. I was impressed with how easy it is to use and my skin felt fresh and hydrated. A great boost for tired dry skin

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.

I love sheet masks, I picked this up for only $2.50 as garnier was having a 50% off sale. Such a good deal. I love the packaging, vibrant green which is very eye catching. It is super easy to tear it open.

The mask itself is literally dripping with product, it was a little hard to open this up as it was so drenched but I finally got there. Then it has a blue layer which you peel off after you apply to your face, the blue layer was already half off so I found it easier to remove before applying. It fits my face well and feels comfortable to wear.

After 15 minutes I remove and there is a tonne of product left on my face, I like to rub it in, it feels sticky for quite a bit but does eventually dry down.

This mask left my skin feeling soothed as it was a bit red and a huge spot I had looked less angry. It felt so hydrated and looked plump and youthful.

I adore these masks. Cheap and cheerful and make a big difference to my skin. A great pampering treat. Sit back and relax :-)
