Neutrogena Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mask 5 Review

After several reviews on youtube channels of the virtue of these sheet masks I searched high and low for them, finding them in The Warehouse I grabbed a box and must remember to go get another one soon!

Side note: my skin type is combination with slight on set of aging, tiny lines.

I thought that the value of money for a box of 5 sheets for under $25 was pretty good, especially here in NZ where it is normally overpriced. Each sheet mask is individually wrapped so you can easily chuck one in an overnight bag should you be travelling. Popping on one during a flight would be amazing to keep tired, overly dried skin at bay, relaxing too!

These masks are designed I am sure to make you look like a serial killer as you wear them. However, the cuts in the mask allow you to smooth it over the curve of your face and tuck in the edges, poking your nose out of the pre cut area and pull around the eye area. For me the mouth area fell over my chin as I have a small round head and these are designed to be a one size fit all product, but that is alright, I was able to make it work.

Backing the sheet mask is a really slippery serum that if you don't lie back will see the mask slip right off your face so you are forced to lie back and relax as it goes to work, if you want to keep doing something whilst the mask works then a sheet mask isn't for you. The instructions say leave on for up to 10 minutes, well I always get comfortable and either engrossed on catching up with social media or fall into a cat nap so it stays on longer, which isn't bad as it isn't a wash off type. Once you have had enough of the mask, simply remove it and throw away, there is a serum type moisture to your face that you need to just massage into your skin.

The following day wake up to wonderfully clear, clean and super plump hydrated skin that has a brightened, youthful appearance, even helps on those little lines around the eyes. This is a product I can see myself using for a while. I currently use 1 mask a week, although during that time of the month I did use it twice a week.

This is a sheet mask I’ll use time and time again. It is great to use just before by events as it leaves skin looking noticeably plumper and hydrated. It’s one of the best sheet masks I’ve used, and that’s saying something, cause I’ve used a lot! It is also sold at a very reasonable price point. I throughly recommend this if your after plump and juicy skin.

It is a two piece gel sheet mask that is pretty hydrating and feels very luxurious compared to your run of the mill fabric-papery mask. Keep in mind a sheet mask is a treatment meant to rejuj your skin for a day or so for a special event or if its very sad. This mask is great for that.

I was on an outing with my mumma and I saw this. It was on sale and I couldn't help myself because I love sheet masks, they're bloody delightful!

I love that this is a gel sheet mask rather than a papery sheet mask. The gel like feeling of the mask just feels so much more high end and luxurious rather than the piddly, almost fragile paper sheet masks. And yes I realize they're not paper, but it's the only thing my brain can think of to describe normal sheet masks haha.

The smell is kinda weird, it almost has no smell but then I feel like it smells like the cheap 5 packs of soap for $1, and it's quite off putting.

The mask came in two different bits, a top and a bottom, and I slapped em on my face. They weren't overly drippy but I did put what was left in the pack on my neck so that could have some lovin' too. I left it on until the mask felt dry and took it off just as easy as I put it on.

Results were alright, about the same that I get with other sheet masks. My skin felt soft but by the next day it was only a little bit soft, rather than baby smooth and happy.

It's an okay mask but I've had better, so I wouldn't buy them again.

I had high hopes for these sheet masks, I'd been recently told my skin was dehydrated so these hydrating masks seemed like a good option. I bought two boxes as they were on sale at The Warehouse. On the back of the packaging it says the hydro boost masks are more hydrating than the hydro boost serum so seemed like a winner. The sheet masks themselves are very moist, easy to unfold and easy to apply - no liquid dripping all over the place which is good - sheet masks are meant to be clean and easy not sloppy all over the place. There was only a very subtle fragrance. I didn't find the fit of the mask overly great - I constantly keep smoothing the mask to keep it flat and fitted, the bit between my lip and nose was just a tiny strip. After leaving for 15 mins my skin looks nice and smooth. I don't find the hydration is long lasting, I could easily use one every night. Once I accidentally fell asleep with one on and woke up in the morning not knowing how long I left it on- but my skin felt smooth for days! Oops. These work out, using the rrp, at $5 each which is reasonable. Overall they weren't bad but I think I have used better chemist ones for a similar price. I was expecting the neutrogena name to bring great results, but alas it was not so. If they were on sale I'd get them as I like sheet masks but at full price I'd have to think about it.

I am all over Neutrogena Hydro Boost range over summer do just grabbed this mask along side gel & spf lotion but quite disappointed.

The mask is actually 2 bits and I found them hard to apply, very slippery and awkward getting the correct side up.

Directions suggested 20 to 30 mins. They kept sliding off and couldn't really move around freely with it on.

The results did give my skin hydration but not what I would consider enough for applying a mask.

I'm fairly new to masks so might be a bit negative un-necesssily but my experience with the BeNature masks gave me opposite results with no fiddle-ness.

Don't let this review put anyone off other products in this range which I find are amazing!
