Garnier Cryo Jelly Sheet Mask

I've used sheet masks before, but not this particular one. I feel like the aloe vera combined with the hyaluronic acid (and whatever other magic they put in this) is a winning formula - my skin is soft and hydrated immediately afterwards (and the following day too) and my lines seem to have been plumped up rather nicely (especially the night I did the mask - wow! I was not expecting that!). The mask smells good (very natural, what you'd expect given the ingredients, ie: no chemical smell) and was easy to apply. I left it on for the specified 15 mins and it was immediately cooling (so much so that I'm sure my body temperature dropped). As an aside, I'm menopausal so this is a definite plus as I seem to be running at a higher temp than the folks around me these days - this should be marketed at menopausal women, Garnier have missed a trick there! I feel this mask would be fantastic in the summer time too, a great treat for your skin and it cools you down so it's a win/win. Most masks I've used in the past are pleasant enough but there wasn't really any visible, lasting results. I think, with the hyaluronic acid and aloe vera (which I've used for my hair in the past as it's super moisturising), and with continued regular use, I'd get quite lasting results. I'm definitely going to be trying this again.

I love a good sheet mask. I like trying out new ones and anything that says anti fatigue is right up my alley. I have a toddler and I am tired from lack of sleep.....it definitely shows!

The foil package is easy to tear open, the mask itself is absolutely drenched in product and I found it very difficult to unfold. Once I finally did I placed it on my face and it was a great fit. It feels very slimy!

It states that it cools skin down -7 degrees so I was interested to see what was going to happen. I started getting a weird sensation, it felt almost like it was burning and I will definitely say it wasn't pleasant or relaxing.

I had to remove the mask before the 15 minutes was up because I was too uncomfortable. My face was covered in product so I massaged it in. My face felt really sticky for a good 10 minutes and it didn't completely dry down. I absolutely hate that feeling.

My skin felt nice and looked plump and hydrated. Did it looks less tired......no. For me it didn't do much and I hated the whole experience. I don't recommend this mask and would never use it again. Sorry Garnier this is not a winner for me!

I had such high hopes for this but it really was not for me.

I’ll start with what was good about it: upon removal and for a couple hours after skin looks super glowy, hydrated and awake. When I initially opened the packet it smelled so nice but once it’s on your face it’s almost hard to breathe I’m guessing that’s from the menthol - not a particularly nice scent to have all over your face. The scent was making my eyes burn and water, the eye holes were not big enough so sat super close to your eyes which did not help with the eye watering problem.

There was so much serum on the mask it made it quite hard to unpack and get on the face and stay in place more messy and difficult than your standard face mask.

The whole mask experience was really quite unpleasant for me it was uncomfortable on my face, yes I do agree it is very cooling but for me it was to the point that it felt like I had put deep heat/arnica on my face and I actually didn’t make it the 15 minutes recommended it was uncomfortable and for me I use a mask generally for some self care etc and it was not a relaxing nice experience. It was especially uncomfortable around the eyes and lips, it is cold but uncomfortably so. After removal you’re left with a heap of serum even after massaging into face and neck. Personally it’s not for me and I will stick with a normal hydrating face mask however the results are quite good for a couple hours if you make it 10-15 minutes.

This is such a fun, cooling and hydrating jelly face mask.

The size of the mask is good, and it was really easy to apply, as well as staying put well when applied for the recommended 15min :)

When I took off the mask, I rubbed the excess jelly onto my face and neck as a final step, which made my skin feel really soft and hydrated.

Love these sachets as they are great to travel with to provide a rapid hydration boost on the go!

So if you tell me a mask is going to cool my face by 7 degrees, you can be darn sure I am going to test this as scientifically as possible. And thanks to my Covid driven purchase of an infrared thermometer....I could and I did!

I found this easy to use, it unfolded easily enough and positioned well on the face. It felt cold, like it had been chilled and I was very surprised when it felt like it was getting colder!

After 15 minutes I felt relaxed and rejuvanated, my face was glowing. Once I'd wiped away the residue I was amazed by how smooth my skin was, and how moisturised it felt.

And my thermometer experiment? My skin was 9 degrees cooler. NINE! How mad is that?

I'll be stocking up on these come summer, I can already picture myself soothing away those red hot days and intensely hydrating my skin at the same time!

Sheet masks. Single use packaging. Single use product. They kind of go against what I try to aspire to buy. So imagine my disappointment that I LOVE this hahahaha.

The packaging is made from 50% paper, and the mask is biodegradeable. This made me feel less guilty!

Unpeeling the mask was sticky but kind of fun. Applying and wearing the mask was also sticky but fun. I found myself smiling while I relaxed.

It says this cools your skin by 7 degrees and I believe it. Like it felt like I was in a freezer, but in a nice way, not a frostbite way.

Afterwards the residue seemed to soak in over the next 30minutes or so and my skin felt like a baby's bum. This mask is like a hydration explosion on your face. It doesn't feel like a novelty product, it actually seems to deeply hydrate skin.

Would use again. Did what it said it would. Recommend to all!

I absolutely love this mask. I didn't think I would, I mean I like sheet masks, but more as a pampering treat than a treatment. This mask is like going to the salon and having a facial, the results are that good!

So it's your usual sheet mask in terms of packaging and unpeeling. I was expecting this to be, I don't know, silicone-y maybe, but it's just your usual sheet mask. Although it is absolutely slathered in product. More than any sheet mask I've used!

It sits well on the face, doesn't slide. It is INSTANTLY cooling.

I used the excess product that was on my hands and in the packet on my neck and decollatage.

15 minutes went far too fast!

Once I'd removed it, I patted the excess into my skin and went about my evening. When I woke I couldn't believe how smooth and soft my skin was with no sign of dryness. My makeup glided on. I think the positive impacts of this mask lasted four days before my skin started to feel like its usual self again, aka, dry!

This will be a go-to skin treat in the summer for sure - it really is cooling and soothing and refreshing!

The harsh winter conditions and constant heater always means my skin can feel tight and dry, so this face mask came at the right time. I liked that it was vegan and that the sheet itself was biodegradable, which makes me feel less guilty. Putting it on felt icy, just like it claims, and size-wise fit me just fine. I did feel instantly hydrated but didn't feel like it lasted longer than a day. Would still recommend to give it a go.
