Garnier Cryo Jelly Sheet Mask

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.

The mask was nice and cooling, but I'm not sure it firmed up my skin. It did feel softer though. It does say after 4 weeks skin will look smoother, plumped and healthier, so perhaps if you used them weekly you would see better results than just after 1 use.

I'm not the biggest fan of sheet masks but I'm always keen to try something new.

So this one comes in a 50% paper-based sachet which is great and it opened easily from tearing the perforation. The mask came out in a complete soggy ball of slime and I really struggled to open it out and thought that it was going to be a dismal failure. But once it was open it just slid onto my face and settled into place. What a surprise! It was absolutely refreshing and cooling. The mask didn't stay slimy on my face which was interesting. I had already used all the excess jelly on my neck and hands, but the mask itself dried out more than any other face mask I've tried. It felt so nice and when I took it off, my face did appear fresher. It still feels quite hydrated for some time afterwards.

The product claim is that the mask cools skin’s temperature by -7°C* and instantly minimises signs of fatigue. I'd say that is a fair claim. It also claims to firm skin and provide a layer of moisture. Again, I believe it meets this claim. It is one of the better face masks I've used.

There are many other things to like about it as well, including that it is vegan, cruelty free, biodegradable and made in a carbon neutral factory. Anything that aims to reduce our footprint on the planet and avoids harm to living things is a plus in my book.

I like this mask and recommend it to others to try.

I also tried the jelly eye masks and they were equally good - very cooling and firming around my eyes.

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!

The Garnier Cryo Jelly Anti-Fatigue Jelly Sheet Mask is a refreshing and invigorating skincare product. Upon application, the mask's cooling sensation instantly revitalises tired skin, making it perfect for combating fatigue or a long day. The jelly texture adheres well to the face and provides a comfortable fit. After use, my skin felt refreshed, hydrated, and noticeably more awake. While it may not deliver transformative results, it's a great quick fix for a boost of energy and hydration.

I recently tried the Garnier Cryo Jelly Sheet Mask as part of a trial team.

If you're anything like me - a busy parent who never seems to prioritise self care - it can definitely be a boost to sit down with a sheet mask on, and a good book in hand, once the kids are in bed.

Upon opening, I found this mask a little difficult to unfold as it was drenched in serum. Once on, it was relatively easy to position, however I did find it slipped a little around my mouth and needed some small adjustments during the 15 minute application. Probably best to not have a drink or chat while wearing it!

The mask itself felt cooling and tingly pretty much instantaneously, and for the entire duration of application. I think it would be amazingly refreshing on a hot summers day! The mask has a clean, fresh cucumber scent which I really enjoyed.

After the 15 minutes was up, I removed the mask. My face felt hydrated and there was a lot of excess serum, so I removed some with a cotton pad before following up with my night time moisturizer.

Side note: I LOVE that this mask is biodegradable and can go in your home compost!

Really fun packaging to this product. Was not sure what to expect with the feel of this on the skin. Found it quite cooling and very refreshing with a pleasant fragrance. Didn't have to much massage in after time and skin felt well moisturized.
