L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Youthful Lifting Tissue Mask Reviews

I’m a 40 year old mum of two special needs boys. My youngest aged 8 is currently going through a no sleep phase again so I am living on coffee and naps. Sheet masks are my “me time” my little pamper time. So when I saw the add for this I got so excited, “anti aging firming and refining” etc all sounded so good right now. Once hubby got home I took myself to my bed, put on criminal minds and got down to it. The package describes a Japanese cotton mask, I love J and K beauty so this was already a plus. I pulled out the mask and argh, it had the film on the mask. I hate these on sheet masks and this one was no acception, it made applying the mask annoying as when I pulled it off, it pulled the mask and stuck it together so I had to unstick it all. I spread the mask out over my face and it really did seem to melt into my features, it really did “act like a second skin”. It had plenty of product so I could do what I always do and squeeze the packet out onto my décolletage area, I rubbed the rest into my skin. After my hands had dried they felt like silk so I had high hopes for this mask. 15 minutes later the criminal minds team had found more victims and my timer went off, so I hit the pause button and in masked. It took a bit to rub the rest into my skin and ended up rubbing it down my arms aswell there was so much. The result, silky smoothe skin, that looks fantastic. Wow I’m in love. Reading the instructions it recommends to do this three times a week for four weeks. That seems a bit much to me as I thought sheet masks should only be done once a week. As I was only given one mask I can’t judge on long term results. However right now my skin looks and feels amazing, I will definitely be buying this one again.

I was excited to try the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Youthful Lifting Tissue Mask, because at my stage in life a little lifting is in order.

The pack is a stylish red foil, it looks rather luxurious. Inside is a tissue mask with a blue backing - and it's well-soaked in serum.

Applying was fiddly and I abandoned the instructions which had me putting it on my face then peeling away the blue outer, as when I tried the whole lot came off or moved on my face making it difficult to rearrange. Once I peeled and applied the mask went on easily.

The fit? On my smaller face it was pretty good - a little small around the nose and eyes, which makes me wonder how it would go on someone with bigger features.

I kept the mask on for just over 20 minutes and noticed during this time my skin sucked up a lot of the serum. It was also very cooling on the skin, which was lovely as it was a very hot night.

Once removed my skin looked clear, plumped and my large pores did appear visibly smaller. I don't know that I looked 'lifted', but I did look tighter. (I can't speak to fine lines and wrinkles appearing smaller as this was a once-off treatment, and the pack says it needs to happen regularly over the course of four weeks to see any results in the fine lines and wrinkles department.)

The next day my skin was still looking nice - not so tight in the pores, but definitely glowy. Next time (when I pick it up at the supermarket) I'll use it at the start of the day as I'd love to show my fresh-looking skin to the world.

Would I use it again and recommend it? Yes. I've had a run of sheet masks not doing a heck of a lot, and this one definitely did make my skin look better/glowier/tighter, which is a bonus when you're in your 40s.

After using a few sheet masks, I didn’t think this one would be much different, however there were some factors which help it stand out from the rest. Similar packaging to others, and the amount of packaging is one aspect that has me reluctant to purchase any more sheet masks. There was very little if any scent that I could detect. Opening the mask up was quite simple, and putting it on my face was very easy. I was impressed with how easy it was to align my eyes, nose and mouth, and there is a cut out to easily peel the protective cover away. From there it was even easier to smooth the mask to my face, and it all stayed in place, no slipping. The amount of moisture was just right, didn’t drip and the excess from smoothing it on went on my neck. After 15 mins I took it off and massaged in the excess. Skin definitely felt smoother and softer.

This is a great sheet mask, and one I would use again, for those times I want a mask, it don’t want to have to spend too much time or energy.

I really enjoyed using this mask, I am not usually a fan of sheet masks as I think they feel slimy but this one had a nice fabric texture. The application was simple and the mask had a pleasant faint smell. When you take it off you are supposed to let the remaining serum soak in, mine didn’t and I had to wipe some of it off which was a bit off putting. I didn’t notice any immediate difference, but after the sleeping with it on I did wake to nice smooth skin and some of the finer lines were reduced.

Can a tissue mask make you feel youthful? Well, it might not turn back the clock, but it can sure make you feel good!

Pros: 1 - This mask is easy to use. 2 - You can easily fit this in a bag for a relaxing treat on a night away. 3 - Generous size - it covers your face to the hairline 4 - Very generous amount of serum within the sachet. 5 - Great results in a short amount of time.

Cons. 1 - The single-use concept is a little wasteful 2 - The product is a bit messy 3 - Immediately after use my skin felt a little tacky, but this went away after I applied my moisturiser.

While wearing the mask I felt a gentle sensation - it wasn't really a tingle, or anything untoward, it was just the mask ingredients doing their thing I guess. After use my skin felt tight (in a good way) and everything seemed plumper somehow. After applying my usual moisturiser I was left with incredibly hydrated, dewy skin, that definitely looked better than before I'd used the mask.

I would like to try this again when they are released, and use them twice a week for a couple of weeks to see the cumulative effect!

The packaging was compact and could easily fit into a handbag or overnight luggage bag. The bright red colour on the packaging makes directions slightly hard to read if you've never applied a mask before but the steps were easy to understand. The mask was easy to apply to the my face and there definately was 10 times more serum as this was oozing out the edges. While I had the mask on I could feel the tingly feeling sensation on my skin. When I removed the mask my skin felt rejuvenated after a long hot work week. After the 15 mins my skin was bright, the bags under my has was reduced and my skin felt relaxed and ready for the weekend!

Received the Revitalift lifting mask to test. Upon opening the package the dual layered mask was drenched in product. It was a process of disecting the layers propely but eventally managed to get the pieces seperated and on my face. Peeled the blue layer off as instructed and placed the white layer on my face as best I could.

Removed the mask after 15 minutes and gently massaged the remainer of the liquid into my skin. Once it dried properly my skin felt tight but 'heavy' if that makes any sense and sticky. Went to sleep and when I got up tge next morning it still felt sticky so I thoroughly washed my face. I did not see a difference after just one mask, but given that the manufacturers recommend using the product for 4 weeks to see visible results one can not expect miracles either.

After washing my face my skin felt softer which was indeed a plus.

One thing I have always wondered about these paper based masks.....wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for the manufacturers to provide you with a pot full of the product and maybe an application brush? This way you can paint on as much as you need without wasting a lot that is left behind on the paper as well as in the packaging and it would be more environmentally friendly. Maybe something you could relay to L'oreal perhaps?

Like most sheet masks this is easy to use. It might be a little tricky for some to unpeel (I'm thinking of my friend with arthritis) but the removable backing does make it much easy to unfold than other masks.

It positions easily and doesn't move around once on, but it remains pliable, so you could reposition at any time during use.

The serum is literally dripping from the mask - you cant call L'Oreal stingy!

I found the effects noticable after just a few minutes, I could feel my skin tightening. After 20 minutes I removed the mask and wiped off the excess product. If I'd been using it at night I would have left the product to soak in over night.

My skin felt firmer and I think my fine lines looked less line-y. Witchcraft!

I would highly recommend this mask to anyone that could do with a facial, or just wants to feel a bit better in their skin!

Single mask 30g comes in familiar L’Oréal Revitalift red packaging. Easy to apply and even though it’s well loaded with serum it stays put. Left on for 15 minutes then removed and smoothed in remaining serum. Can’t say I noticed lifting after just one application but skin felt revived and pampered for the rest of the evening. I will likely repurchase and try to use weekly and hopefully see more definite results

I will definitely be purchasing this mask when it is released to the stores. As the packaging is so bright it will he easy to find it on the shelves. There are very clear instructions on the reverse that were very easy to follow. On opening the packet I noticed the mask was full of liquid. I had a little trouble deciding which side was "blue", but figured it out after a few seconds. Application was very simple and once the mask was on it adhered to my skin so well it was like a second skin. I actually got distracted and kept the mask on for longer than the recommended 15 minutes. (I think the reason I did not notice the time was due to the fact it adhered to my skin so well that I had forgotten I was wearing it.) I noticed that 25 minutes had gone by when the mask started to get a little warm. After removing the mask I massaged the serum into my skin. My skin felt so light and fresh. I used the mask not long before bed. When I woke the next morning I noticed that my eyes were less puffy. My skin certainly felt smooth and hydrated. There was also plenty of serum left in the packaging and on the blue sheet, so I have resealed the packaging and plan to use this as a mini-mask in a couple of days. I cannot wait for this to become available in store.
